Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

I'm a Marine Biologist that needs a non fishy hobby. I've always been interested in electronics and I've been reading and experimenting for a few months. I'm staying with low voltage DC stuff for now, mostly LED's. (I tried an AC nightlight circuit and discovered the hard way that the decimal point on the 200v cap was a speck of dirt. Did you know those things will explode?)
I have some ideas for LED wall displays but want to make a circuit board instead of all that hookup wire.
I've read quite a bit but just wonder what is the best way to start. There seems to be some disagreement on chemicals, making transfers and all that stuff. Is there a basic setup I can use? Where is the best place to buy supplies? I currently have a laser printer and rubber gloves.
That's a good start, huh? :)
