Yeah I thought about that.   If I were to do my own pc  boards
tho I found a machine that would route the traces directly
on the copper without etching.   It was costly but not out of  reach.  That's
how I will do it if I get into pc board manufacture.   For now  tho
I will stick to the professionals (PCB123).
