Best results I have obtained from home made was when I was in school and worked at a hospital. I would draw the circuit in lead pencil and have the X-ray tech shoot it. It results in a super sharp photo mask for your board. I made many boards this way and it was great. I no longer have the X-ray facilities so now I just send them out. I miss those days of experimenting all day long. Don't make any cracks about medical costs going up either, that was like 30 years ago. :-D
