There's some interesting material at www.thinktink.com, including
a hacker-friendly plated-through hole process and descriptions of
multilayer layups and fabrication. (I've never tried >2 layers;
I'm sure there's a bit of a learning curve.) Also Maxfield's book
_Bebop to the Boolean Boogie_ has a pretty good discussion of
some semi-exotic PCB and packaging technologies, some of which
seem promising for the garage, though it's more a descriptive than
a how-to treatment.

Perhaps sci.electronics.* would be the best place for discussion.
