Does anyone here do custom machining work making fly fishing equipment at a reasonable price?

I’d like to get some reel seats made, but REC wants so much for a minimum order. Does anyone reading this have a CNC or something to do precision work. I’d be interested in swapping drawings or whatever. Discuss and/or email this if you want.

Whay kind of fly tying equipment should I buy?

I am a long time fisherman, but I have recently gotten serious about fly fishing. I am going to start tying my own flies, and I need some info about what kind of equipment to buy.
I have looked at the starter kits, and generally read that the equipment included is of lower quality, and is not great if you want to be a serious fly tyer. What brand/type of equipment would you recommend to someone who wants it to last through years of use and increasing experience?

Price is important as I am a college student with limited resources. Thanks for the help.
