That sounds like alot of fun. Sometimes a good CAD drawings feels like it's been completely made doesn't it.
I do fabrication work for the creative industry so we do alot of very custom things - from small artwork one-offs to furniture batch and public realm things.
We have to stick to very firm deadlines and budgets.
A word of warning on costs though - Having a fully-kitted workshop space, employee's, insurance etc. is extremely expensive.... so undertaking one-off's can be very expensive as a result - spending 2-3 days working through a design and making it will soon see costs over £1000+vat labour - and resolving unproven designs can take time to iron things out - unless you can find a 'garden shed' kind of fabricator who is doing it for fun and keen to help.
If you are keen please get in touch and I can give ballpark figures before going down to a firm quote. Leadtimes are 12 weeks at the moment.
