Making breaks in vero strip

I've used a drill but sometimes is easier to just use a razor knife with the blade turned kind of side ways and I turn the vero in a circular motion into the blade and just make the hole bigger to the point of cutting away all the copper, thus making a break in the vero.

Another project to find time for.

Finally put something together yesterday.
Epoxied a wooden bead to a 3/16" drillbit, drilled a 3/16" hole part way through a piece of nice oily cocobolo. The drillbit turns freely within the cocobolo handle, makes it easy to apply pressure to the drillbit as you turn the bead to cut the trace.
