I'm ultimately plan to get an electro etch rig because I want to do elaborate blade etches like a lot of the old Sheffield stuff had -- but I'm going as cheap as possible to start, with the idea of plowing all proceeds from razor sales (once I'm to the point of making things I'm comfortable with people using) back into a nicer setup. Stuff like my own kiln for heat treat, a good bandsaw, etc. But at the beginning I'm going to make as much use as possible of other people's tools, partly because I don't have room for much in my tiny house.
