Another place I've found similar stuff is FindingKing, a curiuosly named jewelry-and-beading outfit who has a surprisingly affordable assortment of 5 precision box-joint micro tools. Many college art departments include jewelry making classes, and you may be able to take one as a non-credit course just for the lab time. In Detroit, the place to go is the College for Creative Studies, and I'm sure there are similar programs in most cities. As a side note, such programs probably have a fairly gender-skewed enrollment, if you know what I mean...
