Homebrew PCBs

LOL been there done that - I also remember when I was a kid, buying self
adhesive shelving paper, the kind you use to line kitchen drawers also, and
slicing it into thin strips with a guillotine, and stuck the strips to
copperclad board for resist..... Worked great.

Then there was the time I got ahold of some sulfuric acid to etch boards -
what a mess.

Anyone remember the old Letraset ruboff transfer sheets with donuts and
lines?
