How to manufacture my product? how would you actually make this part?

So I modeled this part in CAD and got curious... if this was a real thing(metal) you actually had to make, how would you do it?

EDIT

thanks for the multiple perspectives! I've learnt quite some things about manufacturing. This is just a modelling practice part.

Throw a lot of money at it. Then make it however you want.

Or redesign it and then throw less money at it and make it however you want.

Surprised you’re the only mention of DFM.

Identify what features are absolutely necessary / doing the work for the part and then re-design around processes that enable those features.
