I was recently introduced to a web site called eMachine Shop.  Its a site that allows you to design a custom part in auto cad select the myteral and finish you want for the part and order the part as quickly as you can design it.  I know a few of us on the MMFT are intrested in this kind of thing.  Give it a look it might be something you guys would like.
