I looked into the price of sterling *** and almost '***' my pants
once I saw what the dealers wanted for those tiny sheets of silver.
With the prices they were asking for sterling, I figured I could put a
LOT of time and labour in to making my own. Especially seeing as how
inexpensively I bought my bars of fine silver !

The reason they charge all that money is because they have great big
expensive powered rolling mills and they pay people to use them. They also
cut to size for a very small fee.

I don't know what sort of machinery you need to produce silver discs 6" in
diameter with mirror polished sides, but I can't see it being cheap.

If all you have is a hand powered mill then you're going to have to do some
serious hard work to produce sliver ***.

If you want to produce something more than 5" across you're going to need
some serious machinery as well.

What do you charge yourself for your own labour and how do you amortise your
outlay in production machinery?
