Eagle PCB Designer

This weekend I have mostly been trying to work with eagle pcb designer. Figured it might be useful to be able to create a proper pcb layout for some of the projects I have in mind.

A gross sweeping generalisation I know but thats how I'm left feeling. I think I have sorted the last of my issues with a fudge, does the job. More details to follow.
