Bench Skills Test

Bench Skills Test

This is the fourth project in Stage 1 of the Silver training level at Jewellery Training Solutions. It is especially challenging since the pieces need to fit in all the possible rotations, and they need to be snug enough to stay in on their own.

What were the challenges?

The challenge for this project was to make sure that the pieces fit in every direction, as they are rotated. They needed to sit flush but be snug enough to stay in when picked up. Filing is one of those things that seems to take forever and you seem to be making no progress until all of a sudden you’ve gone too far!

Where could I improve?

The fit of the pieces could still be improved more. And there are too many scratches - I need to work on my finishing skills.

What did I learn?

Patience in filing!
