They look Great Pete, simple design too...
Glen, Until I can scrounge up the 3d laser mill that we've been looking at getting it would take too much time to do on the waterjet. I do have a mate with a reasonable laser at his disposal but the cost of running that bugger is a lot more than the waterjet (but in ally its about 10 times faster, unless you want to work with material thicker than 10mm, then the lasers, begin to have flash problems and unless you're running a fairly high powered setup running the right nitrogen settings you get huge problems with burring and partial cuts)
CNC milling is the way to go on these, quicker, cheaper and much better finish.
have I bored everyone to death yet?? [<i></i>
