Here's how to make circuit boards at home. This second video covers how to apply dry film solder mask (Dynamask 5000), hand solder the SMD components, and test the PCB. The general process is:

1. Print your mask onto a transparency.
2. Expose your board.
3. Develop the mask.
4. Expose the board again.
5. Bake the board for final cure.
6. Solder the components to the PCB.
7. Test for short circuits and proper functionality.

The first video covers how to expose, etch and tin plate a PCB:
