    Alloying your own will lower your initial financial investment, and
    increase your time investment. If you have the necessary skills and
    equipment, this may be a good trade-off. It also may not. 

    My personal attitude (since I do not have all the necessary skills
    and equipment) is to do what I'm good at, and let machines (and
    companies) do what they're good at. I buy my gold ready to use just
    as I do my silver. It is still profitable, if I don't shoot myself
    in the foot by underpricing.
