In my humble opinion the best way to make and plate this part, would
be to
photo etch the parts out on a +8" x +10" sheet of phos. or beryllium
bronze
leaving the parts attached..

Sounds like a good idea. But I've never had any experience with
etching. For now EDM is cheap in India. And I've had good luck making
the parts. What remains is plating consistency.

Btw, I'd like to try this in future. Any leads / hints / pointers on
your process?
