Not sure what you're looking to have done exactly, but these might be some useful resources:

eMachineShop (http://www.emachineshop.com)
Protocase (http://www.protocase.com)

Whoops, pardon me, kiwi.  Um, the first link is what I'm looking for.  I want to make a spacer for a stick.  $150 set-up though is a bit steep...especially for what I want.  Thanks, though.  Really what I remember is someone saying they're dad had a machine shop....

I don't know if I've said it before, but my dad has a machine shop.  What did you say you are looking for?  I might be able to talk him into something or do it myself if it's simple.  Detailed measurements would be crucial.
