Homebrew PCBs

I've recently tried the "pocket" method, which DJ Delorie has mentioned here a few times: you line sides A and B up through a light and staple them together, then just slide the PCB in. 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.

(my previous method: avoid at all costs, has also worked well)

Keep meaning to share photos as it's not a bad board, but what with moving countries, it's not easy.
