Description
I was in the need for a way to bread board a SMD TQFP 32 pin atmega168 for a project I am working on. I decided to look around for one. I found a great deal on digikey for $25 dollars.
search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=336-1505-ND
I thought that this had male headers on the bottom of the board. However it did not. It had a funky hirose connector.
See: blog.synthetos.com/arduino-boot-loader-party/
So I decided to make my own. I created the eagle footprint via a digital caliper. Which was difficult. I laserd the board and the 1/8th" masonite (hardboard).
You can see all images at my flickr stream. While you are there at me as a friend :)

So in case someone wants a cheap TQFP holder. Here are the files.

Instructions
Buy the connector:
search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=336-1505-ND
Desolder the holder (32 pins) from the board it comes with. Be careful to avoid over heating the pins as they are very small and will gum up the mounting enclosure.
Create the pcb via laser cutter method that I use. Or toner transfer method. I attached the PDF files as well as the eagle files also. Warning I am not super great at eagle so if something is off apologies.
Solder on some female headers and the TQFP mount. Laser cut the masonite and you are done.
Screws used were Socket Head 10-24 2". I used the longer ones as its a great way to wrap the wire and tighten it down with a 10-24 nut to clean things up. Plus it also protects dropping the device and getting something jammed into the center.
