So I had 2 ideas in my head..... Now those ideas are real life physical products.
I can't emphasize enough, if you have an idea for a physical product...you need to make a Prototype !!
There is a HUGE difference between an idea in your head and a prototype. When I made prototypes of both my ideas, I learned things I didn't think of, and probably wouldn't have thought of when they were in 2 and 3D on my computer. If I would have gone ahead and spent the money and time to have them made into final products...that would have been ugly.
3D printing.
My Fastlane prototype was made with a 3d printer (Progress thread soon). I paid a small startup to do it and it was amazing. Your prototype doesn't have to be perfect. It's a starting point. Action.
Your Market and Funding.
You can take your prototype to your market. Show them. Let them hold it. You will get amazing feedback ! Then when you're ready to go out and sell it, or get funding, it's a hell of a lot better than having drawings and made up sales projections on paper.
