Okay, I know that some folks assemble jigsaw puzzles and glue them to
a substrate when finished so they can be used as hanging art. And I
suppose it's possible to glue playing cards together in case one
wants to prove that he built an impossibly huge structure with them.
But how does one preserve this kind of thing constructed on a
wireless breadboard? Pour potting resin all over it? Put it under
glass?
I remember my dad showing me that he still remembered how to
breadboard--on a nice piece of shellacked pine, using 14 AWG sold
copper wire and UV201A's and plenty of woodscrews. It was a thing of
beauty.
