Josh,
I think getting professional circuit boards made is so cheap now, i
don't bother with making them myself..seriously when you can get $13
per double sided board..professional looking and nicely done, why
bother doing it yourself?
I go to companies like www.pcbFABexpress.com or to AP circuits in
canada.
but I like the quality of pcbFABexpress a lot and also they are a US
company so no customs hassles.
Also check out their "2layer BARE pcb", basically PCBs with no solder
mask or silk screen..and it is at even lower prices..$40 lot charge
plus 60 cents per square inch..
hope that helps.
