DIY Crystal Oscillator: Schematic to Prototype 🛠️

This video takes you through the process of building a circuit from a schematic, including circuit board preparation, soldering components using Manhattan style construction and then testing it. It uses a buffered Colpitts Crystal oscillator as the example. My previous video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH110yjYZ2g) showed several methods for building prototype or breadboard circuits. The method used in this video is the "island cutter" method of manhattan style construction. The video walks through the layout planning, component preparation, soldering, initial testing and final testing of the circuit. Some more useful links:
The island cutter I used is from QRPme:

May your own island cutter, as Andy Davies shows in this video:
