    I have a list of beginning tools for metalsmiths and beginning tools
    for PMC, you can find them under Resources at 

    http://www.CreativeTextureTools.com (TM) 

    To tell you to buy I'd need to know more specifically exactly what
    you want to start with, what you want to do. 

    Try to take a beginning class at a local community college or art
    center. 

    You are in a great location! Once you've taken some beginning classes
    you'll be up to classes at the many regional art and craft centers
    near you. Here are some names, you can find them easily: 

    John C. Campbell Folk School
    Penland
    Arrowmont
    What's the one in Ashville? I'm blanking on that one
    And the Wildacres place

    For tools, check the advertisers and the lists on Orchid. To get you
    started: 

    Rio Grande
    Contenti
    All Craft in New York

    Those come to mind, there are tons more. If you post something
    specific you don't know where to find, Orchid folks can help you. But
    just order _everybody's_ catalog and read, read, read, read, read. 

    I also like the books by Jinks McGrath.
