And then there's the price of Machining the parts out of the materials ;)

I'd suggest looking for classes in a machine shop at your school. 
It would give you credits, training and SHOP ACCESS! Then all that
free scrap will be useful! For practice at least:

Something to remember about scrap; if you don't know what it is
(alloy) and why it's scrap (flaws?) then you probably shouldn't use it on
a sub build. Remember, the only thing between you and catastrophic 
implosion (you-burger) is your sub and much like a chain, your pressure 
hull is only as strong as its weakest link.
