The following is a technique I used while assembling a circuit to be installed where space was very limited.
Make sure your circuit design is finalized. Changes will be extremely difficult once the circuit is complete.

I based the circuit around the largest component.
|
 | |
I bent the pins to prepare the IC. This technique involves a lot of thinking ahead.
|
 | |
I first joined the common pins if the IC knowing that this area will not be accessible for much longer.
|
 | |
Every component needed to be prepared before installation.
|
 | |
Occasionally, I had to insulate component leads.
|
 | |
Looking at the schematic, one would expect this circuit to be much larger than a quarter.
