    Priority - rolling mill - the best you can afford. You can live a
    very long time with a drawplate and a big vise. It all depends on
    whether you want to make a living with what you do or hand make every
    bit of wire you ever need. 

    If you get a mill that has a set of flat and a set of wire rolls, it
    is a very good choice. If you want to start out with $100 of silver
    in 6 guage, and draw it all down, you need the draw bench. I'd buy
    wire in the right size to start with.
