I did some product prototyping a few years back. I found the laser to be a lot more useful for hobby work than a CNC router. (I created a number of rocket parts in my spare time on the laser engraver.) I would love to have both, but I'd get a laser first.
And as I see more and more 3-D printed rocket parts, I want one of those as well. 
I have a lathe and thoroughly enjoy turning nose cones and transitions. I've also turned nozzles, intake and exhaust nacelles, etc. Lots of fun. Wood turning can be addictive.
