The ruby is pretty simple. Almost too simple for a circuit board. It is easily done on perf board, and I've definitely seen a layout for strip/vero board.

it's really easy. i teach high school kids how to make them-- these kids have no prior experience and we generally complete them within two two-hour sessions. This is with each kid making their own, all at the same time. If they can do it, you can. What'll make it easier is getting perfboard with fairly large holes, so the pins from the opamp stick out more. That can make a big difference.

I think Radio Shack pad-per-hole board is the best out there. The pads are nice and large and rarely come unglued from the board.
