There are two major machines required for the lost wax casting process.

** Estimate ~$900 or less for used machine
* [http://www.ebay.com/itm/Round-Wax-Injector-Jeweler-Tool-Jewelry-Tool-110V-5-5lb-3-2liter-/321194285742?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac8abdaae Wax Injector]
** New machine ~$400
The above linked items are examples of available (at the time of this writing) equipment to fill these roles, and are intended as a rough indicator of pricing and equipment configuration. Similar equipment may need to be located once this vote passes.
Also needed to bootstrap our casting abilities would be mold-making supplies:

** ~$120

** ~$35
Total for materials and equipment: ~$1551.64
Shipping costs: ~$250 (wild estimate - there are freight costs involved)
Total with 10% buffer: $1959.69
