I have a requirement to prototype more circuits.
Last few decades I've relied on Proto-Boards,
prior to that (when IC's weren't common) I used
"peg-board" with bolts through the holes and
nutted and wing-nutted the circuit components.
That was nice cuz of ease of measurement as
every bolt was a Test Point.

I'm thinking now of using Proto-Boards as IC
sockets and taking the wiring from them to
peg-board which is ~ 1"x1" holes.
((I'm finding Proto-Board to cramped)).

BTW, most of my stuff is less than UHF.

Can anyone recommend a better system?

I like to do this:

That's the way to go for RF stuff. Although it does get old for larger
concoction of logic chips, bus decoders and so on.

There's no reason to breadboard stuff like that.

Hey: No eating of potato chips when breadboarding this way. Leaves your
finger prints all over the place.

I wish I could buy gold-plated copperclad... the copper looks great
when you start, but goes to hell in a few days. Hey, maybe a pcb house
would plate some copperclad for us. THAT would look classy.

Just make sure the soldering fumes are vented out. This technique is
heavy on the solder.

Too late for me. I learned to solder when I was three years old.
