Having been teaching myself a little bit at a time, might I suggest www.tinmantech.com as a starting point. Lots of instructional stuff, as well as tools and even some classes. Also, look for some videos by Ron Fournier, also very good. For inspiration and knowledge, check out http://members.aol.com/coupechuck/
For tooling, you can find pretty good deals on Ebay, just search for "English Wheel' and you always get quite a few hits. I bought my big floor model from OklaHdwr on Ebay. I have been very happy with it, 8" x 3" wheel and large enough to put in a 4' panel if you want. I paid about $2200, and that is WELL below retail.
As for smarta$$es, I guess it goes with the territory 
Anyhow, start small and good luck! Don't forget to post a few pics.
