Jewelry Area Etiquette
- Schedule your time in advance via Skedda; a two-hour maximum may be booked, with a 30 minute buffer in between time slots
- Take care of tools, use them properly and do not damage tools
- Be careful with water! While water is mandatory for many jewelry processes, it can ruin steel tools. Keep things dry.
- Do not work on steel or aluminum in the area -- ever!
- Pay attention to the maximum material thicknesses and types when using tools, especially cutting and bending tools.
- Ask others if you are uncertain about tool operation. DO NOT USE if you are not certain how to use a tool safely/properly.
- Do not put broken tools back. Leave them out with a note for Shop Lead.
