If only there were one of these in our fair city! San Francisco's Techshop is "a fully-equipped open-access workshop and creative environment that lets you drop in any time and work on your own projects at your own pace." Essentially a better version of the ID shop you had in school, Techshop stocks milling machines, metal lathes, plastic printers and RP machines, CNC laser cutters, MIG- and TIG-welding equipment, and more.
If you're a manufacturing processes newbie, they even offer classes for $30 to $60 on how to use various pieces of equipment. Anyone can walk in and work metal, plastic, fabric, leather, etc. For the equipment list, click here. For the complete course list, click here.

I think that it's actually in Menlo Park, about a 45-minute drive south of S.F. It woud be great to find something like that in the city though.
I've worked here at Techshop in Menlo Park. It's great, and the people are really helpful. Everyone into DIY in the Bay Area should check it out. You can drop by anytime during open hours for a free tour.
We already had this is Boston area and it failed. Enjoy it while it lasts.
there are thousands of metal lathes here that i found a great resource http://www.findamachine.com/showcase/Metal+Lathes
