Hi baniels,
You're right; the smoke and clear are made on a CNC table. Talk about labor-intensive huh? These are being made from what material my manufacturer has left in his Georgetown, TX shop. He stacks 3 or 4 sheets on top of each other, sandwiched between two sheets of aluminum and cuts out 8 which 24 at a time.. Then when that's done, he deburrs by hand and also stamps in the creases with his press and a custom made jigg.
The other colors are die cut.
Snowman and shades: I'm not sure why that first youtube link is broken in the original post, but if you go to
GoGoStand: it goes where you go! there's videos on there too.
