No, it looks like he just soldered the traces.
right, but why would you do and solder all the traces over...that's kinda the point of the traces in the first place :P

That IS weird.
I mean, it looks great other than that...especially if it's an etched circuit board (as opposed to factory plated), heating up all the traces is just going to increase the risk of loosening/weakening the traces' bond to the board. Maybe it was a poorly done etching with gaps in the trace?

Well, if you look in the album there is a picture of his Press-N-Peel coming out really badly because of the printer, hence my previous comment.
