Printer's tin (if you can find a local offset printing shop) is great 
for handmade gobos and custom shutters.  Easy to cut with a good exacto 
knife, but thicker than your grocery-store pie plate or baking dish. 
And since it's a waste product of the printing process, they're usually 
willing to give you sheets of the stuff.
