I am stumped!
I build my projects on wood breadboards. Sometimes, I need to affix a pcb circuit
to the plywood/oak plank that forms the base of my project. I've used various
creative tricks in the past, from double sided foam tape, epoxy putty, saw kerfs
into the plywood, etc., but I am fed up with clunky solutions.
I would use some nice brass 30mm standoffs, either M2 or M3, but they don't
self tap very well into plywood, and the threads aren't deep enough, or quite
aggressive enough to bite into the plywood. I could use nails with a short
length of nylon tubing sleeve, but then I'd need a claw hammer to remove
the pcb from the plywood.
I often use drywall screws, 2" & 3" lengths, with a shorter nylon bushing made from
tubing, for holding large componets like transformers, but drywall screws are much
too large for pcb.
If I could find some long, yet tiny wood screws, I could use those with nylon
tubing to fasten down the pcb to the plywood.
What would you do?
