Dude, you can still learn!  I did and so far I still have all my fingers and other important pieces parts.  Go for it.  No excuse.  You have plenty of time to perfect your skill set.

Well Mr. Mike looks like you've got yourself a heck of a friend magnet. You probably thought you had a lot of friends before, but I would guess you have a brand-new hundred or more new ones. Keep us updated on all the neat parts you'll be making.

Give it its own good, sturdy bench, bolted down securely as suggested.  You won't regret doing so.   :-*  (From someone with literally no mechanical know-how, but knows those with it - Dad's automotive store used to have a Machine Shop when he was in business.  ;) ) 

It ain't like it used to be but, eh, it's do.
