Prototype PCB Bridged Pads

[imk123]

Hello
I am looking for some Vero like prototype board with a matrix of plated thru holes that are all bridged. That is to say each hole is bridged to its four adjacent holes with a tiny bridging track.
I used this stuff many year ago but can't seem to find any after much searching.
Anyone know where I can get some some please?

Thinking on:
If we could have a source of these boards with the help of a bit of eagle like software we could easily make one of double sided PCB's by simply cutting the tracks we don't need.
Use the eagle like software to do the circuit design, board size etc. Then print out a track cutting map on paper, lay the paper on the board and craft knife cut the unwanted tracks. Test, add components and Hey Presto, we have a double sided PCB!

Perfect forum to get this idea going, what you think?

I remember seeing those years ago.

Have not seen them in the last 20+ years

This is what I use mostly now for a prototype board.

While doing some lapidary work, it became obvious the bits I was using could be repurposed into the electronics area. Wet/dry ‘Diamond Core Bits’ are used in making jewelry and in cutting holes in glass; for example making a hole in a bottle for a power cord to go through. These bits come in many diameters and are relatively inexpensive. Core bits are hollow and nicely make solder pad shapes in PCB FR4 material. The following discussion shows how these bits can be used to manufacture a point …

Project construction example and hints If you are new to making projects, below is a process you might want to try. Rather than using a prototyping PCB, we will build the following project on a copper clad PCB ‘mother board’. After you decide what you want to make, draw a schematic of your design showing ‘all’ the components in your circuit. There are many free PCB software packages for schematic design and PCB layout. If your design uses a SMPS (switch mode power supply) always add a ‘Fer…

Here is a Manhattan style prototype board too.
