Let’s Talk Tools & Materials!

Let's talk tools!

I’ve carefully curated this course to use the least amount of tools possible while still giving you a solid foundation for setting up your own silversmithing bench.

You’ll work with a handful of essential sets: measuring tools, metal-forming tools, soldering tools, and clean-up & polishing tools—everything you need to get started without unnecessary extras. Full transparency: setting up a soldering bench does take a bit of investment, but the best part is that you’ll have this course forever. You can go at your own pace, and the way the lessons are structured means the first few projects require very few tools.

Then, as you progress, we introduce new tools strategically, including some more specialized or higher-end items, so you gradually build your bench without feeling overwhelmed. Click HERE to view the full tool & material list to complete the course.
