As the subject line says, I'm looking at going the laser cut path because I 
can't find anything appropriate off the shelf, less-than appropriate is 
expensive, and it'd probably work out easier...

I was wondering if anyone here had tried it before and had any tips.  
Ponoko offers the service and has a tutorial on the subject, though their 
details on tolerances hasn't been updated since 2008<http://blog.ponoko.com/2008/09/11/how-much-material-does-the-laser-burn-away/>!  
Looks like what I want to do is Sketchup -> Inkscape via converter -> 
Ponoko.

Cheers,
JC
