Hi Joshua,
First off I recommend that you get together with someone in your area that has a shop and is willing to show you around.Perhaps if you put out a request here and other machining sites on the web someone would surely step up to help you get started.
This site is technically devoted mostly to sheet metal shaping (think automobile bodies) even though it can be a little confusing in that it's named "AllMetalShaping" but lots of people on this site also have lathes.
Machine tools can be dangerous if you don't know how to use them properly.
Welcome to the big world of "metal working"
