You can build your own form from something as simple as wood and start with laying up wet (of course you'd need a release mechanism in place, etc.). From there, to experiment with vacuum bagging, you can buy yourself a used Foodsaver vacuum sealer at a garage sale for about ten bucks and use it to vacuum bag your own parts. The results are almost as good as the real thing, for a lot less money.
