Goldsmithing Benchwork 金工工作台

Before the software, the saw and the flame.

先有锯与火,才有真正的工艺

Hands-on goldsmithing at the bench, in two levels. Learn to file true, solder clean, pierce accurately, forge metal and master the flex-shaft — the same skills behind thirty years of finished work. 在工作台上学习真正的金工,分两个级别:锉得平直、焊得干净、锯得精准、锻打成形、掌握吊机——这正是三十年成品背后的功夫。

Five core skills 五项核心技法

What you learn at the bench在工作台上,你将掌握

Filing锉修

Flat, true edges and clean surfaces.平整、垂直、洁净的表面处理。

Soldering焊接

Clean joints and confident heat control.干净接口与稳定的控火。

Piercing锯切镂空

Accurate sawn lines and openwork.精准锯线与镂空花样。

Forging锻打

Move and taper metal by hand.以手工锻打使金属延展成形。

Flex-shaft吊机技巧

Drilling, burs, polishing, setting prep.钻孔、磨针、抛光与镶嵌准备。

Two levels 两个级别

Choose where you begin选择你的起点

Level I · 第一级

Elementary基础

Find your hands at the bench.

For complete beginners. Learn the five core operations safely and cleanly, and leave having made a finished piece in metal — no prior experience needed. 为零基础者而设。安全、洁净地掌握五项核心技法,并完成一件真正的金属作品——无需任何经验。

  • Filing — flat, true, finishing锉修 · 平整与修饰
  • Soldering — clean joints, heat control, pickling焊接 · 接口、控火与酸洗
  • Piercing — accurate sawing & simple openwork锯切 · 精准锯线与简易镂空
  • Forging — tapering and texturing metal锻打 · 延展与肌理
  • Flex-shaft — drilling, polishing, finishing吊机 · 钻孔、抛光与修饰
Level II · 第二级

Intensive精修

Push the metal further.

For makers with foundations, or those working in the trade. Advance every technique to a professional standard — the same judgement that makes a design genuinely manufacturable. 为已有基础者或业内人士而设。把每项技法推进到专业水准——这正是让设计「真正可制造」的判断力。

  • Advanced soldering — multi-part assemblies进阶焊接 · 多件组装
  • Complex piercing — fine openwork & inlay lines复杂镂空 · 精细花样与镶线
  • Forged forms — shaping volume and structure锻造造型 · 体量与结构
  • Stone-setting prep — seats, bearings, tolerances镶嵌准备 · 石位、爪座与公差
  • Pro finishing — flex-shaft to a saleable surface专业修饰 · 吊机做到可售表面
