I recommend that you look into course work at a local poly-tech, vocational school or similar location. Its better if you are guided in a way that will maximize your learning and minimize chances for injury to yourself or the equipment. I'm not familiar with the technical education available down under so it may be wise to seek out a machine shop and ask for information on such training.
