Looks like it could be a big help to people in need of custom bits and pieces who don't have ready access to fabrication facilities: http://www.emachineshop.com You download their software and design your part, then they manufacture it and send it to you via FedEx. They can do molding, milling, turnin, laser cutting, lots of different processes and they can fabricate out of many different materials. the faq page http://www.emachineshop.com/faq/general.htm is going to be able to explain it better than I can. hope this helps somebody. thanks, -stjohn
