My brother works at a company that has a laser etching machine. Pretty cool stuff. You design what you want on the workstation attached to it, put in the piece you want etched/cut, and it works its magic. He had a Miata a while back and designed a stainless cover plate for a cubby hole in the Miata dash. It said "Miata" on it, in the cursive design Mazda designed it in... it was a nice piece.

I've never asked him to do anything for me using the machine... but I've been thinking about it!
