Yes, it does require some specialty tools - I have quite a bit invested, but you can start and build your collection. I have a 1929 South Bend lathe, a Grizzly tabletop mill, a 2x72 belt grinder as well as a variety of hand tools ( files, sanding blocks, 1/2" battery powered drill, hack saw ). You will also need something to help you measure - like a digital caliper, steel ruler, etc..
Once you get some experience you can create a bunch of fun stuff - similar to woodworking. I really enjoy looking at the headphone cable beads I did when pop on my headphones. Might be time to do a couple more as I might need to make a few more cables.
