For a mere $2.25 you can buy this substitute: <br /><br />http://bostonindustrial.net/Hand-Countersink/M/B000NY6RLO.htm<br /><br />It's really helpful to have a hand-powered countersink because it gives you much better control when working with soft plastic.<br /><br />You are correct that the perf board that exactly mimicks breadboard layout is sold only online by Radio Shack, but similar boards can be found from other online sources.<br /><br />Project boxes are stocked by some Radio Shack franchises, not others. It depends on the degree to which the Shack is hobby-oriented.<br /><br />Magnetic switches are easy to find from many sources (including eBay).<br /><br />--CharlesCharles Platthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968751199924367578noreply@blogger.com
