Where does lady ada's boards come from?
In the Wave bubble page the boards have no resist or silkscreen, I am wondering where she gets the boards.

I think he's asking where she actually gets them made. I would assume those are something she made herself, but you can get boards like that from www.barebonespcb.com
It's fast, cheap, and for low-quantity orders.

Yes, the plain ones look like she probably etched them herself. It's not like she made a sack full of them... With a laser printer, it's not too hard to do them neatly. (Not sure inkjets work for that - but I never tried, and haven't Googled it.)

Yep looks like home made goodness...
I have made a few boards using a laser printer.. I would also assume an inkjet would not work, toner is a powder and sticks to the paper hence it can peel off... inkjets use ink... which is absorbed by the paper so it won't peel off...

Yeah thats a good point... Double sided boards made at home can be a pain... there are through hole kits you can get which I think are like rivets sort of, so it is possible to do through hole at home.

I'm about to attempt through hole plating myself.
