| Walking in the door to the factory, looking front to back.
|
| To our right we have one of the stone set benches and the laser station. "Stone Set" is obvious, this is where we set our American Gemstones. The laser is one of most useful tools we own. Nearly 100% of our assembled parts are welded (no soldered) using the laser. Occasionally we weld pieces for local jewelers or far off customers.

|
| The goldsmith's bench gets a lot of work, every day. Pieces come here for final assembly. Several types of clasps and hinges are fabricated at these stations.
|
| Standing at the rear looking forward. Above the shipping area and laser/stone set is the design studio. Very warm in winter, too warm in summer.

| Looking right up into the design studio above shipping and laser/stone set. The studio is nearing completion.
|
| The casting area. In the forground is the Naycraft centrifical caster. Several custom and small casts are done there. The smaller button allows us to save on gold. In the background are the Memco vaccuum caster (with heavly modified pump), ovens, steamer and our investment station. Yes, that's the same Kitchen Aid mixer your Mother used. Much better than a wooden spoon for mixing invesment for casts.
|
| Final polish, the smallest, dirtiest place in the factory. Every piece that goes out of the factory come through this station. The large Handler dust collector is the work horse of polish. The 3 or 4 stage polish wheels charged with compounds give us the high polish that is the standard for our jewelry.
