[sdiy] Custom Aluminum Shops?

[TERRY SHULTZ]

Hi Chris,

We have used Neal Feay in Santa Barbara area https://www.nealfeay.com <https://www.nealfeay.com/> for our most complex and exotic panels 

And you guys might want to look at Front Panel Express. I believe their tools are free for design and layout.

Just my 2 cents.

Regards,

Terry

Premium is insane and will do -anything-. anodize, powder coat, silk screen, cable assemblies, 3D printing, injection molding, wire EDM, really anything. those are all things I've had Premium do in the past year and they're always awesome.
