[TheForge] eMachine

[Bruce Freeman]

Intriguing.  Did you try out any of their software?

Done right, this could be a computerized machine shop for the masses. 
Could bring prices WAY down for custom onesy-twosy parts.  Whether it
DOES so is a totally separate question.  

I'd be very interested in hearing more about this place, especially
first-hand accounts of using their services.

I hope I'm not just being a dupe providing free advertising, but I'm 
intrigued by this site---anyone else ever check them out or use them or

just check for pricing?

For those of you reluctant to just hit a link without more of a 
description: it's an online machine shop.  You download their cad
software, 
use it to design your widget and get an estimate and have them make it.
 I 
know from posts to the L that a lot of our paraphernalia comes from
some 
mighty small operations---this might help if the prices are right
(which I 
don't know).

Standard disclaimer: I have no relationship to them, just saw an
article in 
the local paper and have spent only a few minutes on their site
myself.
