Hi Jeff,

it seems, you want to go the stony way.

But the life can be very much easier:
I use an universal pcb with holes every 2.54mm. Then with some wires any DIP-device can be connected.

E.g. for your application I suggest the AT80C4051 in DIP-20 as micro, the MAX127 in DIP-24 as 8-channel 10V ADC and any LCD with internal controller connected over a 16-pin header.
To use such LCD look on the tutorial.
