looking for sheetmetal Plasma/laser cut and bending service

Shipping isn't a hard no... just a PITA to ship boxes or large flat-packs.  For some reason I have a visceral aversion to the UPS or USPS facilities - we don't have anything convenient locally.

Good luck, and let me know if you can't sort out anything at a reasonable price.

BTW, Automation Direct has 4" deep 16x12 enclosures pretty cheap. Get free shipping if you buy a few.

Add a keyboard tray below and it wouldn't look total hacky.

Good price for that enclosure, bit too small though. I already have an industrial keyboard and monitor in mind so the size kind of revolves around those (about 22x18x4).

If it were like a one off thing I'd just cut up a sheet of 1/8" aluminum....I can tig 1/8" aluminum like nobodies business lol. I wanna make a few of these as like a standard controller for any machine I might do in the future. I'm going through the effort of making specific PCBs for key matrix's and stuff so it's not a huge wiring project to get one going.

Still working on it but the end goal is something like this:
 

Yea, I totally get it.  You've got something in mind and don't want an approximation.

Offer is still open if you run out of patience with the commercial options.

Hey spumco, might wind up taking ya up on that offer. Still waiting for 1 quote from another local shop but the first one was fairly ridiculous. What's your email?

For anyone following this thread later, www.oshcut.com offer a very good service in the US, I used them for my home machine components and other projects. No relation to oshpark.com PCB manufacturing apparently.
