I'd start with buying the two extruded patterns from a firm that does
custom work. Slice it up into pieces of the right width and then do a
little milling and drilling to make the hinge. Before pinning the hinge,
put it in a deburring media and you've not a nice product on your hands.
The real cost depends heavily on what your market price is, what your
production scale is, and so on and so forth.

Sure is pretty!
