Does anyone here build their own electronics? I'm wanting to get into it and see if my kids also get involved. I'm just no really sure where to start at a novice level.

If you want to lay out your own PCBs, and have the bare boards manufactured, you could:

1. Use KiCAD for schematic Capture and PCB layout.

2. Order PCB from [OSHPark.com](https://OSHPark.com), and solder paste stencils from [OSHStencils.com](https://OSHStencils.com). (Stencils for surface mount components) OSHPark accepts KiCAD files.

>NOTE: Once you finish placing your order with OSHPark, the OSHStencils option will become available, provided you included the solder paste layer(s) with your gerber/KiCAD files upload.

3. Find components using [Octopart.com](https://Octopart.com). Octopart has an amazing BOM (Bill of Materials) feature that makes putting together an order for PCB components a breeze.

Okay. When I say novice I should have actually said the noob level who knows absolutely nothing. Why can't I zap you

I'm barely getting around to figuring out the Lightning wallet thing.

Right now I'm trying to figure out hoe to buy some non-KYC Bitcoin. I have a friend that mined a bunch of Bitcoin back in the day. He said the least he'll sell me, without meeting face to face, is 10 Bitcoin. Ha ha funny. Like I have $700,000 kicking around.

So know I'm trying to figure out the Bisq software so I can buy some once I have some extra cash.
