Homebrew PCBs

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum and making PCBs for that matter. I know a
little about electronics. I can read a schematic and solder a kit
together for example. I just can't design my own circuits. I am also
learning to program Atmel microcontrollers. I have several projects
that require me to make my own boards. I can't justify using a board
house. So I thought I could learn what method fits my needs. I already
have a laser printer. I don't plan on making many boards so I just
want an inexpensive way to make them. The two projects I have at the
moment is a board for a CNC router and a Control/power supply board
for a surveillance camera.  I live in South East Texas. So there is
just a little about me.

Regards,
Dennis
