Training and Resources to Help You Get Started with Larger Equipment

If you’re ready to expand your jewellery-making capabilities, introducing larger equipment into your workshop can be a game-changer. Tools like rolling mills, laser engravers, welders and more enables you to scale up production, achieve new levels of precision and work more efficiently on complex designs.

We understand that it can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly why we offer tailored training and demonstrations to help you get the most from your equipment right from the start.

Why Use Larger Equipment?

Hand tools are great for detail and control but some tasks require more power and precision. Larger equipment helps you work faster, take on bigger projects and achieve consistent results.

Our team are here to help you identify which equipment will benefit your process most—whether you’re refining a skill set or looking at some completely new machines, we will make sure you have the equipment you need.

Start with a Single Tool

When working with larger equipment, we always recommend starting with a single tool or technique and building from there. Focusing on one area allows you to build confidence, get familiar with how the equipment behaves and start seeing results without feeling overwhelmed.

Build Confidence Through Practice

With the right support in place, practice becomes much more productive. Our demo sessions often include real-world project examples to try out for yourself. Keep a notebook of settings and tips, and don’t be afraid to experiment on off-cuts or test pieces.

Stay Safe

Safety is a crucial consideration when working with larger equipment. Always wear appropriate protective gear, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and ensure your workspace is set up correctly.

Checklist for Safety:

• Ensure proper ventilation for processes like soldering or casting.
• Regularly inspect equipment for wear and tear.
• Use clamps or holders to secure materials during operation.
• Familiarise yourself with emergency shut-off features.
• Never operate machinery without supervision if you’re new to it.
