I'm looking for an inexpensive USA manufacturer who can make 10 custom mdf game dashboards (where you can track movement, ammo, wounds, etc, by inserting pegs into a mdf cutout). So far, Google has not been my friend. Any recommendations?

Clearly the TMP bug got this one. However depending on the size this is the sort of thing you could get printed on an FDM (as opposed to Resin printer)_ depending on size.
Something 9" square is within the scope of many an FDM printer and material costs are low. I can't help as I live in the Uk and postage to the US is daft. nbut there may be other on this board that live in the US and have an FDM< printer.

No specific recommendations, but a quick search of Etsy turned up some services to investigate: link

Draw up a template and contact any MDF cutter on Etsy

You're looking at 10 squares of mdf (or 1/4" plywood?) with a few rows of maybe 1/8" or smaller holes and some labels. The necessary tools would be a circular saw and an electric drill. I'd certainly check my local group for anyone with elementary carpentry skills before I went further afield.

Hmph. Equipment on hand and a clear drawing of exactly what you want, and you're talking between half an hour and one hour of at best semi-skilled labor, plus painting on or printing off and gluing on labels. No one in your group makes plywood houses or hills?
