Lots of great articles on that site. Also, you might look at posts by Arie Kalabastra on the CamBam forum. He makes titanium watch cases and is getting to be a known watch maker in the world. His CNC machine is a home built specialized machine, but I suspect your process may not be as difficult as those he does.
I'm not sure laser is the right tool for Titanium. I'd have to read up more, but its my understanding that when milling titanium combustion from high cutting heat is a risk, although inert gas bath from laser cutting might eliminate that risk.
You might also want to read up on the different common alloys/grades of titanium. Some are easier to cut than others. T2, T5, and T9 seem to be the ones I see most often.
Anyway, my thought is that with more knowledge and thought your goal may not be as far out of reach as some might indicate.
