    Anyone in Melbourne/Naarm have recommendations of laser cutting services who are willing to cut pieces for prototyping?
    Material preference is wood, prefferably in thick sheets (10mm+) and very thin sheets/veneer (1mm or thinner), plus 3mm stock of pretty much any material. The initial prototypes will be square ~100mm a side, with the final product being in the region of 500-600mm a side. If their equipment supports cutting/drilling blind holes, I can change the designs to not require the thin veneer.
    Also, the designs are pretty simple, and at this stage just consist of circular holes of various diameters, so if there's a better way of having them made, I'm all ears. Don't suggest just drilling them myself; I don't have the space or tools to do so, and think that doing so would probably end up not being worth it for this application. Some later modifications to the design may involve adding cut-outs for other shapes of hardware, though I'm not sure if I'll go through with those ideas yet, and if so whether they will require modifications to the laser cut parts.
    I'm open to interstate/international suggestions, but shipping is obviously a factor.
