Making more arduino projects without buying new arduino boards?

I tried it to make a breakout board for fiftysix 7 segment displays. Each connector needed a unique common cathode, all the anode would have been connected on patrallel
The amount of cutting to seperate for the 1 signal in each signal was such a pain in the ass, I quit on it after putting in a couple of headers and the current limit resistors.
Wirewrapped it up instead on a "island of hole" board and finished the incoming signals and 56 connectors worth of breakout in just a few hours.
I will not use point to point soldering for anything anymore.
