Sorted - Any of you guys into PCB etching?

I've found a project I would like to try, it turns an old tape player into an echo machine. Its from the The Stompbox Cookbook 2nd Edition by Boscorelli.

I have zero understanding of how to design and make a PCB so was wondering if anyone on here could point me in the right direction?

For a one off I would convert the schematic to stripboard if it is possible.


Edit: what kind of tape deck are they talking about?

The tape machine is a Marantz PMD221 like this:

Here's a video of what it can do.

You can print them out on a laser printer and use an ordinary iron to transfer the pattern to a copper-clad board. I think you you can get the ferric chloride from Maplins.
