Homebrew PCBs

Just to put in my $0.02.  As a trying-to-be-a-hobbiest, I've found
this very interesting, and on topic.  It goes over things that I need
to know for building pcbs, just like the CUCL.  There are things in
this that I have not had the time/experience to know they are going to
be problems.  I don't see it as being different from discussions on
tin plating or toaster solder ovens.
  I know about ez-bake.  I also know that it doesn't have a critical
mass for getting a good discussion going.  People seem to watch it,
but there are not real on going conversations like we have here.  Now
I know about the cnc group, but seems that very smart, knowledgable
and contributing people here are leary of getting involved in that
group.  I have had no issues in homebrew PCB group with people beating
me up for stupid questions and suggestions, which is very good for an
FNG like me.
  And while I know I'm louder than a lot of people, I also know that
if I don't know stuff, then there are other people who don't, but
aren't as willing to play the fool as I am.  So as long as we don't
start talking about using quantum teleportation for parts/paste
placement,  I'm up for the discussion, and thank Steve for letting it
continue.
