With the advent of Kicad <https://www.kicad.org/> and the low cost PCB 
houses (mostly Chinese, but this one <https://oshpark.com/> claimed to 
use US PCB fabs) it is trivial for a hobbiest to create a board (even a 
multilayer board) and have it fabricated for only a few dollars.

The price on oshpark.com for two layer boards is $5/squar inch, for 
three copies of the board.

A six layer board is quoted at $15/square inch, again for three copies.

Quite affordable overall for a hobbiest, and no messing with etch 
chemicals either.
