Homebrew PCBs

I've had good luck using ExpressPCB for my through the hole small 
PCBs. Export the ExpressPCB layout as a mechanical drawing bitmap, 
to MS Paint and put in the holes. (Export step for some reason fills 
in the holes). Then use a graphics program (Adobe, HP Photo 
Director, Etc.) that can proprotionatly reduce the image to your 
exact dimentions and print the master. I use the toner transfer 
process with good results.
