Thanks for the reply!

    Jim, the laser cutting sounds interesting and that may be an
    opinion, can you refer me to who is doing it. 

    As far as the saw goes, I was told diamond abrasives were the best
    because of the hardness and the thickness (1/4 to 1/2" thick), but
    maybe a jeweler's saw would be worth a try. What kind of lubrication
    are you using for a regular saw? Does anyone have any suggestions on
    a jeweler's band saw blade manufacturer that may have a blade to fit
    the machine I have? 

    Tim, also thanks for your suggestion. The guillotine idea sounds
    interesting, but since I want to do curved lines and I am not
    working with sheet metal, I wonder if that would work. All ideas are
    worth investing though, so thanks.
