Sorry to bag on the dream dude. I highly recommend getting yourself a lathe and a drill press at harbor freight and going town. Both are relatively safe tools (no loose hair/clothing) with no blades, easy to learn, and the range of stuff you can make with those two alone is large. It's a wonderful hobby, it's a pretty terrible job. I may still be recovering from the trauma a decade later because I have not built a personal piece since I was fired.
