Did you insulate between the socket and the board? Because it kind of looks like the top three strips are shorted together.
Why not use Amoeba Kings 1.3?

No joke. There's a reason I hand wire, and it's not because I like cramped hands. >

What about the diodes? They look like a pain >

It's all a pain.

I think the diodes are easier than dealing with "long" wires.  None of all that bad, in all actuality. You get into a rhythm and you just plug away at it. >

I love the idea. >

Thanks maybe I'll change my mind after making about 60 of them by hand 🥲 >

Or I'll try a laser cutter 🤔 I will check >

The way its now the Diode will do nothing >

Sure I haven't soldered it yet. >

I see lots of solder :) >

He was talking about the diode? >

I'm joking. >

How long does it take to make one? Custom PCBs are dirt cheap, what's your motivation to go this manual route? >

Today I tried because I didn't even know it would work at all. I think now that I know the process perhaps about 20-30 minutes among cutting the square, filing, making the holes, fix the copper lines, and soldering.
Mainly because I already have all the components and I like to make things, it's not so fun to order something unless you need it quickly, also it keeps the mind busy and relaxed at the same time. >

What do you call this kind of prototype PCB? I need those for a project and only find the through hole kind with no strip. >

Veroboard or strip board.
