they could just send the layout to 100 companies
and have the board made cheap as chips. Astonishingly dim of them. And no, this was not compelling content. Primitive Technology if all he did was carry water and cut down trees with unsuitable tools

Well if all you know is hammers and angle grinders I guess you end up going down some odd paths to solve it. You don't know what you don't know.

I'm a fan of the channel and I have to agree, it was a pointless exercise
They seem to know about breadboards and routing software, so it is a small step to having the design laid out by software as well. Using solder as the tracks is daft too, the tracks peel off too easily and would melt if a component failed thermally. And not to be too much of a dick about it, but the first trip out they do the vibration will make most of it fall apart.
They obviously knew enough to assemble a solder printing rig, which seems to me a lot harder than designing a circuit board. I was just left thinking "why?" rather than thinking it was cool. Wasting effort reinventing the wheel rather than doing something else useful.
I guess it was an amusing excursion for them, but to me it seemed like an opportunity to ask for some help from a electronics designer.
