Equipment Goals

As I’m getting into the groove of owning my own business(today marks three months!), I’m realizing the tools that are most essential. Two main pieces of equipment that I’ve know that I need are a magnetic tumbler and a rolling mill. There is a ton of variation in the types of these tools and a huge swing in price dependent on the variation I choose. It is a tough decision, because the more affordable options, won’t meet my needs long term, but they’ll provide part of what I’m needing. Tough decisions! I will definitely be acquiring the tumbler first, as I need it for the pieces I currently fabricate. The time savings with the tumbler will be massive. As for the rolling mill, most likely, it will be second hand to get the size/ sturdiness I require. Unfortunately they weigh a lot, so I’m trying to avoid shipping and looking locally, which is like a needle in a haystack. As silver prices have risen, I’ve decided to liquidate a good chunk of my stash, so I’m looking at tumblers as we speak. Stay tuned!
