Shaun shows how you can easily script a custom tool panel in Maya using the Maya shelf. The general idea is that if you place all the tools and commands that you use most often on a shelf in Maya, you will be able to see the MEL code that creates the shelf as it sits.
Using that MEL code plus a snippet from the Maya documentation that will generate a shelf window, you can easily build a custom tool panel in Maya in a matter of minutes.
