There are definitely Makerspaces and Hackerspaces around to facilitate this stuff. I'm a member of one called Site3[1] in Toronto. We have a variety of milling machines as well as a laser cutter, 3D printer and a new DIY 3-axis CNC that we are putting together right now. Membership works on a monthly fee like you might expect, and each member is given responsibilities for maintaining the shop. I think there are equivalent spaces emerging in many major cities in North America.
