Hi, I’m Stuart Faulkner

I’m a qualified toolmaker by trade. My skills were developed in a tightly packed tool room of a factory running hundreds of mold and press tools. This was the perfect pressure-cooker environment to develop my diamond-sharp skills.

My Skills

Utilising CAD and CAM software to design and fabricate.

 

Avid Learner

There is nothing more exciting and stimulating than learning something new, for this reason I will always be a student to life. I am not content with slowing down or leveling out, there is always room for growth.

Delicate Precision

My tool-making background has taught me the patience and attentiveness necessary to achieve the tight tolerances required for making perfectly functioning production tools.

Problem Solving

In a factory that runs all day and night there seems to be a never ending stream of problems to surmount, learning to dynamically solve and not just patch them is key to maintaining an upward trajectory.
Press Tools

Under-mount Sink Clamp

Press tooling is a method of shaping thin metal parts whereby a strip of material is fed through the upper and lower halves of the tool being actuated by a press machine. The various stages of the tool progressively cut and bend the part into shape.

Mold Tools

Cable Clamp

Mold tools are a form of mass production tools wherby a negative imprint of the desired object/shape is created in an enclosure and the enclosure is filled with material (usually plastic).

I enjoyed working side by side with Stuart at Jasco. He was a great team member for bouncing issues or ideas off. Stuart’s mind is wired differently to most & his fresh perspectives were always welcomed in the toolroom.
