The craftsmanship of this four port USB hub jumped out at me. I can't imagine how reliable this will be..

Blargg, I look like your avatar right now. My mouth hasn't closed since I started reading this thread

Thanks for the lolz.

So now we can carve our own circuit boards? That's really cool!

At least it's got a beefy ground plain?

A ground plane is only as beefy as its tightest bottleneck. Make a trace thin enough and it'll become a resistor.

What impressed me was the board was etched in salt water using electrolysis

And I always thought PCB etching always had to use nasty chemicals of some sort.

Wow, I'll have to try the electrolysis method !
