>         basic equipment that I would need to start 

    Marjorie, I find that buying books before starting to get tools is a
    great way to go. Also I have to mention that I have yet to stop
    buying tools and many others have mentioned the never ending quest
    for tools. My first book was Tim MCreight's "The Complete Metalsmith"
    (Davis Publications Inc.) Having paid 14.95USD for this book, it has a
    great range of techniques and the tools needed to accomplish them. The
    book is split into chapters:
    Materials,Surfaces,Shaping,Joining,Casting,Stones,Mechanisms,Tools. I
    constantly go back to this book as a refference and I wouldn't trade
    it for any other. 

Have fun!
