I'm impressed by the method of cutting copper foil to produce circuitry. Saves you the acid and/or ordering from Shenzhen.

To be honest, it seems like a waste of copper. The way he did it, might as well use stiff copper wires, or better still - prototyping boards.

It looks like it was fun, and I think that was the point.

I've done freeform electronics before, using wiring that was mainly the snipped-off legs of through hole resistors. I guess if you were fancy you could buy some bus wire. The assemblies are horrific to look at, and I love them.

Well, we did have some copper sheet leftover ...

From TFA.

This was surplus sheet. Doesn't scale, but fits the reduce/reuse/recycle model well, 2nd mode.
