I was thinking that maybe with a certain bit in the dremel and using the existing pieces at templates it wouldn't be completely terrible. Also any good places to buy sheets of it? Thanks
Hi RobsRacin,

You can do things by your self, i cut the sheets with a band saw and/or with a dremel, for example, but your drill/cut tools wear fast.
I use some titanium, or diamond coated tools, for example.
Be careful and protect your lungs, with a good mask from the dust.
About to get sheets in USA, i cant tell, as i'm from europe...
