Get Organized at the Bench. Keep Every Project on Track.
The Metalsmith Project Workbook was created to help jewelry makers keep the important details of each project organized in one place, from the first sketch through the finished piece. It’s an easy-to-follow, practical system designed to be useful whether you’re just starting out, have years of experience at the bench, or enjoy metalsmithing as a hobby.
For beginners, it helps build good habits around documenting materials, process, time, and pricing. For seasoned professionals, it creates a consistent record you can use to refine workflows, recreate successful pieces, compare costs, track custom work, and make more informed business decisions. For hobbyists, it gives you an organized way to remember what you made, how you made it, and what you’d want to repeat or change next time.
I designed the work pages as a two-page project spread so everything for one piece stays together and is easy to reference without flipping through multiple pages. Your sketch, materials, dimensions, techniques, process notes, time, costs, pricing, custom-order details, and project review are all kept in one place.
Printable + Fillable PDF
Your purchase includes both a printable PDF and a fillable PDF.
Print the project sheets as many times as you need and fill it out by hand at your bench, or type directly into the fillable version on your computer or device. Use whichever version works best for you or use both.
For best results on mobile devices, open the fillable PDF in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app.
