Bench Jewelry Shop A bench shop is where one primarily does hand fabrication which includes drilling, sawing, soldering, forging, chasing, and stone setting. The number of tools that one needs depends largely on what type of projects are being done. If there is mostly just making bezels, bands and setting cabochons then a jewelry saw, torch, setting and polishing tools are sufficient. However, if you like to do forming, or chasing you may need a number of other tool. I will show a lot of tools and what they are for, but, one does not necessarily need all of them.
