Please review all the information provided in this section. I have included some files and links that will help you work safely in your studio. Safety should always be the first thing on your mind when entering your studio. 

One should always be aware that there are certain risks involved in metalsmithing and jewelry making. The tools and equipment used in many of the processes involve some sort of risk while using them.

I am by no means an expert on safety and in fact, have been injured many times while making jewelry myself. Ultimately, you are responsible for your own safety and educating yourself on safe studio practices. 

I have included a link of an eBook on the subject that I highly recommend reading which is written by Charles Lewton-Brain.
