If I wanted to turn a sheet of steel into the face of Mickey Mouse (not that I would, without the trade mark...), who would I call?

Go for a Metal Profile Cutting / Steel Fabricarion Engineers shop. Make sure your know what grade of steel you want. If its in normal steel (carbon steel) then 99% will do it. If it`s in Stainless Steel then tell them straight away as only 50% can do it. Also the size is a factor. You must find out what size "cutting bed" they have, and what thickness they can do.
If its flame cutting carbon steel most companies can go upto 100mm/4 inches. If its water ot laser cutting then this may only go upto 20mm/approx 3/4 inch.
I hope this has helped as these are the main factors we ask at our company. I`m a foreman for a Fabricator/Prolfiler company and most of the time these are the standard questions we ask for any job.
Good luck and i hope you find what you want.

A machine shop, or look up 'welding' in the Yellow pages.
BTW, it would be OK for them to cut out a Mickey Mouse head free-handed (i.e. without using an exact template), as it would be an artist (the welder/cutter) rendition for personal use (your use). This falls under the fair use clause of most copyright laws.
So long as you don't make a profit from this likeness and attract the attention of the Disney lawyers you should be OK.

you need a precision engineer!
They work with all types of metals and cut, drill holes etc.
I would imagine a mask made from metal would involve hammering and heating the metal so i would consider a blacksmith also!
Hope this helps?

Many good machine shops have excellent cutting tools. You will be amazed I am sure. Some are computer driven.
