My research has led me to a number of courses, which are around a year in length, and quite expensive as well. It seems to be fairly common-place to either already have plans for where you might do your work after the course i.e a workshop, or to stay on renting a bench-space from the course provider, or close-by. Some students end up joining forces to make the step into business financially easier.
I recently met with a cabinet-maker locally who has been working self-employed for a number of years after doing exactly this. He has helped me consider the business side of things and also how the whole career-change thing might happen.
The point is, although this is by no means easy, and will likely require very careful budgeting and possibly many sacrifices along the way, it is possible. People are doing it; making that change into something new whatever it may be.
