Frequently Asked Questions
-
The workbench attaches to a sturdy tree using the two straps provided. Once secured, the bench becomes fully supported and stable, creating a practical workspace for jewellery making in outdoor environments. The bench becomes ready to use within minutes, offering a fast and simple setup so you can focus on making rather than preparation.
-
The bench is designed to pack down compactly, leaving plenty of room for your tools and materials. Most jewellers will comfortably be able to carry essential hand tools, a torch setup, a battery rotary tool, consumables, materials and lunch alongside the bench in a standard backpack, making it easy to take a complete workspace into the wild. I use a 30L hikers backpack.
-
The upgrades let you tailor the bench to your workflow, improving organisation, and functionality depending on how and where you work. For most outdoor makers, I’d recommend prioritising adding on the apron catch tray, to help prevent small components falling on the ground.
-
The bench is as stable as the tree it is secured to. When set up correctly, the design locks firmly against the trunk, creating a reliable and controlled working surface suitable for piercing, filing, and stone setting. It is designed to provide plenty of stability for detailed bench work, while the included reversible peg can be flipped to support precision piercing.
-
The bench can be used anywhere there is a sturdy tree, post, or pole to secure it to, however you can clamp the bench to any table to create a workstation which sets up and packs away easily, and takes up little space. This makes it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of environments, including forests, beaches, mountain sides, city streets, and craft fairs. It is designed to bring jewellery making into almost any location that inspires your work.
-
The bench is designed to last a long time and be a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. However, if any components become worn or damaged through use over time, replacement parts will be available. This ensures the bench can be maintained and kept in use for many years rather than needing to be replaced.
