Oh yah, done it plenty before.
You get to learn all about circuits when you become an amatuer radio operator (HAM). Or at least you used to have to learn about them.
Then you get to play with the electronics in your radios. Then you get to incorporate radios into all sorts of neato circuits, like using them with computers. You learn to and get to be able make ALL sorts of crazy stuff.
That board and wiring is super sloppy, simple yet effective.

To build the entire thing I counted how many soldier joints I had to make. It was 102 connections. (51 wires)
