Is there any online machining tutorial?
Books are rather expensive.

I'll snip most of this, just adding some translations where they
might be useful (English to American. :-)

Here's what my first project was:

1) Obtain the following items:

[ ... ]

- Power drill with 10mm or more HSS drillbit; ideally a nice column
drill

"Column drill" = "Drill Press"

- About 100mm of mild steel, perhaps 25mm wide by 3mm deep

Convert metric units to inches by dividing by 25.4 (mm/inch)

- A g-clamp or two

"g-clamp" - "c-clamp"

[ ... ]

8) For bonus points, put it in your barbeque at top whack until it glows

"Top whack" == "full heat" (I think)

[ ... ]

Then start giving bottle openers to your friends as you try to figure
out ways to use more and more tools in making them ;-)

An interesting approach.

Enjoy,
DoN.
