Has anyone ever had something they've designed manafactured?

Funny you should ask, I went up my workshop today and cut the first half dozen pieces

Got to say I'm in awe....as the constructer of a woefully inadequate homemade CNC that goes asthmatic when I ask it cut 5mm acrylic (slowly), I just shake my head in disbelief that folks mill such chunky lumps of ali in their home workshops!

To recap...

You've designed stuff, had it manafactured & raked in a lot of dosh from it.
You mill chunky lumps of metal effortlessly!
You have an industrial strength injection moudling machine "somewehere out the back"
You have a pick in place machine in the offing

I'm a teenage girl & you are my Robbie Williams!

PS can there be a better feeling than a good cup of 'rosie lee' in hand, & heading into a workshop to make 'proper stuff'?! (I say that as someone who works in a wishy, washy, namby pamby IT enviroment)
