you don't nessesarily need a lathe or mill to cut metal but it just makes it easier. If you don't have access to either machine, you can always find a metal part close to what you want and use a hacksaw and maybe a drill to rough out the meat of it and finish it up with some metal files, sandpaper and polish. When I started my associates in machining in college our first part was made with a hacksaw and file and had to be accurate to within .001 of an inch.
The first lathes and mills were made by hand.
