You can sort of kill two or three birds with one stone if you find a small fab shop locally that will let you take scraps but also just look around and ask questions, like 'how did you do that', or 'why did you do it using X instead of Y'. Also you will inevitably need someone to make something for you because you lack time/equipment/knowledge so that same fab shop could be your go to. For example, they might do lathe work but you can do the welding/milling. Stuff like that. As long as you're respectful of people's time and have a good attitude in 'their house' it's amazing where you can just walk into by asking if you can take a quick peek in the shop.

That is a cool upgrade! Beyond a couple of upgrades from the little machine shop, i might do a motor and controller upgrade using a treadmill motor. Its a far cry from what you’ve been able to do |

Another thing you might want to look at is an external DRO (digital read out) if your machine doesn't have one. Make it a lot easier to to see how far you've gone and most of them have multiple screens now so you can set up several indexes.
