What sort of shape and dimmensions are you looking for?  Possible options
are molding it using sheet plastic, molding it using liquid plastic,
routing it out from a solid block of plastic.  I haven't actually done
any of those methods, but I'm told that neither molding from sheets of
or routing are hard.  In fact, I'm told that you can route using a 
regular old wood router and bits.  I think I'm likely to try it one of
these days, as soon as I find a place to get the blocks of plastic
from.
