    I haven't responded in a long time. I would like to add a teachers
    reply. I taught basic jewelry making skills and stone cutting. I
    have advised students to make the hobby (or profession) pay for
    itself. In the beginning when you are developing skills and
    techniques and sales are just beginning, you buy what you can. Buying
    tools should come out of sales. Not putting more and more money into
    something that you are just learning. Stay as cheap as you can as
    long as you can. Cheap tools can be made better with a little sanding
    and polishing. 

    As far as I'm concerned, she did the right thing. My rolling mills
    come from the last Chicago Worlds Fair and they still serve me well.
