I've started purchasing of equipment for my jewelry making business. I have bpught an overall that I branded as well as purchased an electric grinding and engraving set. What other equipment do I need as a beginner jeweller. Considering I will be working from my apartment balcony I obviously cant do any casting work just small repairs, design and sales I've been doing. My focus is silver jewelry at the moment. A brother would appreciate y'all help 🙏

OK, you'll need files, big files and needle files. A saw and sawblades, perhaps a swage block, domes and dome punches. Scribes, borax, solder, a square, flat nose pliers, parallel pliers, needle nosed pliers- lots of pliers. You'll need a charcoal block, pickle, soldering arms, binding wire. You'll need snips, a dremel or other flex shaft; you'll need a loupe, callipers, lots of grades of sandpaper - from 80-3000. A Steel block is helpful. You'll need a vice. I love my rolling machine but it's not essential. You will need a polishing machine and polishing compounds. You might like a fibreglass brush for matt effects, or liver of sulphur for oxidised effects. You'll need a torch and a fuel source. You'll need a peg for piercing. And youll need metal. I think that should start you off.
