A friend and I came up with an awesome idea for an invention, and as far as we can tell it hasn't already been made. I don't want to disclose what the idea is until after I patent it 
Could someone shed some light on this process for me?

For starters, $5000 and a patent attorney. And then a lot more money.

Yea man. It takes lots of time and lots of money. But you MUST use an attorney and not one of those ads you see on TV. They will steal your idea. If it is a good, inexpensive product that millions will buy though, it's certainly worth it. I suggest you first contact a patent attorney and pay him for a consultation. Go from there. Good luck!

Tell us because I doubt it's worthy of a patent! Patents have to be well thought out and immaculate in terms of copying any other design.

There isn't just a relatively cheap way to make something my intellectual property?

if it's an idea worth taking then you need your patent done perfectly otherwise your idea will be well, taken.
by someone who paid their lawyer more than you paid yours
