To make the paddles cheaply out of Aluminum, you could use a rapid prototyping machine to make a plug, make a mold, cast it, CNC the mounting points only, and use a tumbler or vibrating table with an an abrasive media to get a nice finish on the exposed part of the paddle.

I had thought about it, but AFAIK only a small percentage of the owners have AT's, and most are in the US. It could be investment casted, but I don't think anyone would pay close to 4 figures for replacement paddles. However, if anyone is willing to pay, we can always do custom one-offs ;]
