Thanks everyone. I use AKM (Alex Kolyvanov) for all my laser cutting; great prices and very fast turnaround. It's usually about a week from the time I email him the cut files to when FedEx rings the doorbell.

I have full-size digital plans. They're not the best quality, but definitely adequate to build from. Besides, if I trace them in CAD I can clean them up and simplify some of the internal construction (like I did with the Beachcomber).

I will have to commission Deadstick to cut me some cores. I'm planning to drive over and see his new shop soon.
