DIY machining parts?

Anyone in here do their own fabrication/ machining of parts for their rigs? I am looking to write a few CNC programs in my spare time and need things to make. Just wondering if anyone has some makeshift blueprints kicking around.

I got a couple makeshift blueprints for a fix for the rear window of 1st gens.... If the window roller breaks off, you have to buy the whole arm, according to toyota dealerships (costs about 300 bucks).... SO I took some measurements and enginerded me a fix... takes a #10 flathead screw, and a locknut... fixes it right up. Got the print if ya want it.
