I'm trying to find someone (probably a hobbyist) who will cut small pieces
of wood to spec (1/16" tolerance) so I can assemble (glue together) a
'magic' box (7" x 5 1/2" x 3 1/2"). The pieces are 1/4" and 1/8" inch thick.
I produced a chip board (cardboard) prototype, which a friend duplicated in
wood, using 1/8" and 1/4" thick scraps from a laminated oak wood wall panel.
I can barely draw a straight line using a ruler and he was kind enough to
reproduce my prototype in wood.
Essentially, the 'magic' box is a box within a box within a box. That is the
reason for the close tolerances.
If you are interested in giving me a quote for cutting a set of these pieces
(approximately 16 pieces cut from a 4' x 4'), I'll send you what information
I have (including some digital images) so you can determine what it is that
I require.
At first, I only want one (maybe two) sets and then just a few every couple
of weeks, at most, depending on 'sales' and my ability to assemble them.
This will not be a volume job. I've been retired for 10 years and this
project is a hobby, not an occupation.

You may want to look up local woodworking organizations in your area and
tell them of your need. Someone I'm sure will do it for you. If you were
near me, I'd do it for beer.
