Homebrew PCBs

This has been working for me.  I have a drill press - any type will 
do fine.  I buy carbide drill bits from Harbor Freight tools - about 
$20.00 for a box of 50 random sizes.  There is a reseller on E-Bay 
selling random sized boxes as well.

This next part I do this way, but keep in mind I have many years 
experience running machinery.  I put a piece of wood (any flat wood 
is fine, MDF, Particle board etc.) on the drill press table.  I then 
start drilling holes in the circuit board.  The wood provides 
backing so I can drill through, and it helps to prevent the PCB from 
climbing up the flutes of the drill bit (not a lot, but does help).

I have only done a dozen PCBs, so I am a newbie, but not a newbie at 
drilling holes :-)
