Hi cookiemonster.
Starting off sculpting is a great way to learn.
You can get quick results, if something fails it wont kill anybody (think car repairs).
You can experiment, balls things up and redo them indefinitely.
When I started out I thought I might try and do a bit of sculpture. I had never been interested in art, I still cant draw or paint.
I had no metalworking skills or tools. Well a file, a hammer, a vice and a hacksaw.
There are lots of simple metal bending jigs that you can make for yourself.

You sound to be in exactly the same position I was when I started out. I was surprised when I started making nice things and even more surprised when people started buying them. Now I am constantly surprised that I do it for a living.

Go for it, it cant hurt (too much) and you will get lots of support on here and dont be shy of showing your work on here.

You have PM.

You sure do know how to inspire, Chunky!

Oi!! Chunky?

Oh, you are new here, I don't have to get my Henchman onto you.
Chunko is fine, there is no chunky or chumkums.
I will let you off for now, thanks for the comment.
