DIY PCB plated thru holes?

[Hcabnivek at aol.com]

Any ideas out there on how to do diy plated through holes?  I'm working on a 
super compact design that is going to require a two sided pcb but I still 
want them to be DIY. I really don't want to have to solder one side and then 
the other side.  Any ideas?  I only need about 8 boards, each of which has 
about 200 holes, so I think it still makes sense for me to do them diy rather 
than go to a board shop. 
Thanks for any help,
Kevin
