If you're just dipping your toes into it - perhaps there's a "maker-space" nearby? They'll have the tools and probably at least a few folks eager to help. That's a safe/cheap way to get a feel for the materials and what direction you want to go if you keep it up.

We've got scads of them at work and the progression over even 10 years is impressive. The shift from "eye-candy" to prototype fixtures/tooling to truly useful trinkets has been cool to see. In my little group we have a few machines pumping out fixtures for holding stuff in our CT radiography cabinets.
