Default WTB CNC mill services for HAL 9000

I've begun preparing to building a HAL 9000 Faceplate/coputercase.
However I have realized that the metal ring found circling his infamous eye is rather hard to make, that is without a CNC Mill.

That is where you guys come in....

I was hoping that someone could help me with this project by machining out this ring.

It has a 3.577in. outer diameter on the bottom (3.51 on top), 3.042in. inner diameter, it is .355 inches thick its inner edge has been cut so that it has a quarter circle that has a diameter of .28in. (it isn't a perfect circle in the real model but I am trying to cut down on complexity, it is really a curve that takes .09 in. off the top if the inside of the ring and .14in from the top down to the inside of the ring.)

I have pictures/dimentions of this ring from someone else that has built some HAL replicas if any of my descriptions are not clear enough, However I have nowhere to host them atm. If some one could email me at the.lipster(at)gmail.com that would be willing to host them I could clarify on my description a great deal.

I would be willing to pay for materials and any endmills required for the job (you get to keep them)

contact me at the.lipster(at)gmail.com

Thanks,
Carl
