Isn't there some sort of "Notching" tool that can punch holes and 
rectanges (in selected sizes) in thin sheet metal or plasic?  Has anyone
used something like this before?  I only remember reading about it in some
catalog, does anyone use this type of tool who would like to comment on
it?

I know, making the housing will be the most difficult part of the ASM-1 project
for me.
