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

I am trying to make my own PCB boards and have identified at least (!)
two areas where I need help.

#1 - When I held the drill in my hand to drill the holes, they weren't
in very good alignment (probably an understatement.)

#2 - When I try a two sided board, I will have to connect the circuits
on the two sides with what I think are called vias.

I'm willing to spend some money (under $200) would be nice on equipment
to help me in these areas. I particularly like the idea of cnc, if I'm
correct that it would automatically position the drill, but I am not
very skilled at designing and assembling hardware. But I might be able
to do something simple. I'm a pretty good programmer, so I might be
able to compensate on the software side for these shortcomings.

any suggestions?

thanks

bob
