My results were pretty close, but, oh, a few mil (< 10,>= 5) out - which could be due either to either the alignment or the (non)-perpendicularity of my hand drilling or both.

I've used that technique a couple of times, taping the two
transparencies together with masking tape folded over the edges. With
care, results aren't bad, but I find that single-sided boards with wire
links are quicker and easier to make.
