So, a little update - I talked to a machinist/metal worker who has done work for me before. He cut up a bunch of steel pieces so I could make some clamping jigs and anvils and all sorts of other strange things. I'm passing off one of my scrap sheets that came out over-spec on thickness and he'll have a go. He charges fairly for his time, and I think that makes more sense than dumping money into a cutting set up right away. I'll have him rough stuff to the point where I'm at the shaping/grinding stage, and I'll invest in some small bench top tools like were suggested here... assuming he can cut the stuff. If he can't effectively, then I'm back to the drawing board.
Sometimes I envy the eBay pickup makers that just wind up stew-mac kits. argh.
