Neat.
If you need a prototype and you can create a drawing, this place is awesome. 1 day turn if needed 3 day standard:

Even if you would have something like intake runner spacers to machine (as above), you could do it for not much (setup is more on the first part, additional parts are much less).

Thanks for that. I actually enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to make/machine my own parts. Very rewarding when you can do something like this and with good results.
As for the danger factor, I don't recommend trying this at home. If you don't know what you are doing, I can see how one can let the blood out.
I have been turning wood for about 15 years now and I am very comfortable taking on wood challenges that sine eiod turners wood avoid. I have zero metal lathe experience, short of watching the CNC machines at my clients shop and watching some of the guys use the old analog machines.
