I am setting up a machine shop to make stainless steel carpet cleaning tools. I need to learn how to use a press brake, shearer, punch press, and hydraulic tube bender. I have never used these machines does anyone now how I can get this kind of help.

I would check out the courses at your local Technical College. I know the one in our area has a fabrication class that teaches the use of all of these tools.
