Forget about those old age machine drill-cut-mill and bend shops, turn
your self to the people who assist "small scale inventors and prototype
and other small serial volume manufacturers" they can provide you with
holes and cut's in any shape in any material (allmost) with either a 
plasma or a laser and if you need minimum material stress go to a 
water jet cut'shop!

I know a water jet cut shop who charges 12euro including setup and all
the CAD hasle and stress file converstaion including basic material for
one piece made, no matter number of holes och cut's made!

I had this idea to make a synth case in thin stone!
Marble would be nice! Rather heavy, but very original! :-)
