My thought was to do it as two plates -- a botto
I think they would be harder to make than getting a bucketload of a fairly
simple shape machined up.
I cant think of any easy way to manufacture a box shape like that without
welding.
The round nozzles could be made on a nice automated lathe/mill type machine
in a continous fashion from bar stock.

Well, because flat nozzles (only the throat is square) in this case are
very
why would you use square nozles?
the plates would be laser/water cut (presumably something like 8mm?)
then a whole bunch of machined up round nozles stuck in
if you got creative with your machining and nozle design you wouldnt even
need to weld the nozles in
it'd all "just fit"
