I'm holding my hand up. I learned Solidworks, and got a laser cutter

lathe. So yes, plenty of things - mostly controlled using an Arduino
micro. Most of the electronics is for interfaces, but two months ago I
built a mic preamp specially for a high impedance mic I have.
Commercial pre-amps are all aimed at low impedance mics, and totally
unsuited to this one. Not in a tobacco tin - much better, an Altoids
tin.

Just waiting for some PCBs for some of the electronics on the old car to
arrive. I made a prototype to improve on the '70s Lucas design, and
several have expressed interest, so I'd had a batch made for the first
time. Previously, I've made my own from scratch.
Only need 20 for the initial run, but even for that modest quantity, it's
cheaper to have them made than DIY.

Who do you use? My favourites are these people

Really quick and cheap service as long as you follow the rules.
