Do we have any metal workers or skilled wood workers here?

I have the same chip, and the same problem. I plan on cheating however, as I'm working on getting a small CNC router together (who knows when that will be done). But it will allow me to computer controlled cut out what I need out of some small wood or (currently thinking) aluminum. If I get this up and running anytime soon (and it has a good result) I'll let you know. (but ... this could be awhile, def NOT on my current priority list)

Just another thought for you to kick around. If you can sketch what you want on the material you want to use, you could find a local machine shop and see if they could cut it out for you. If you don't have the material, you could find the shop first and see if they also have scrap material (I'm assuming this will be a relatively small panel). I would imagine that they could do the few cuts for fairly cheap since they should have all the necessary tools already set up with people who know how to operate them.

Well, that's my problem... I don't know how to draw what I need in scale with correct sizing. Attached is a simple paint drawing of what I'd like. It's not to scale and of course the layout isn't final. The NES and SNES ports need to stay close to each other since they will be attached to the same chip.
