I have my dies made by:
Augustine Company, Inc.
1210 Industrial Blvd.
P.O. Box 797
Marshalltown, IA 50158
641-753-3875
Most dies are made using an "etching" process,
I don't think it would be worth the investment (and OSHA problems) to make on site, the chemicals are a nusiance to breath, get on yourself and clothing and oh yeah, to dispose of. The average price is a little under $20.00 and they usually get them out same day.
There is another company Pella Engraving Co. in Pella, IA which is very similar to Augustine - 877-549-5447.
LaserBits sells a product that can be lasered to make dies, but you will not get the fine detail of a mag. die.
