And you guys all know about Ponoko, right? They're pretty cheap for most
things and they do the 3D stuff in Oakland, so they're close. I think you
can even pick up parts there.

They're really trying to kind of do for mechanical stuff what SparkFun has
done for electronics, kind of. I've used them several times and they've been
great so far.
