     The iron-on technique sort of works.  The photographic techniques
work reliably.  

     Having a board fab house do it works even better.  There are mail
order outfits like AP Circuits, where you send them the Gerber and drill
files, and they send you a board back.  Look in Circuit Cellar INK for ads.
You can get plated-through holes, too.
