Hi Snapwing, I'm so keen to see a video on sawing techniques from you, it sounds like it would be amazing!
-
Thanks for this video. I had my very first lesson today and needed to review what I had just practised in class. I've subscribed to your channel so I can practice at home.

Thanks for sharing!

I was taught to use a saw frame held at right angles to the eyeline and pierce across the vee of the bench pin, this enables the piercer to see wher the blade is going rather than where it has been.

Thank you. I will drop on by :)

how do you indicate that the metal is sterling? Can you hand engrave it?

@Microglia1 We have a great article on this in our July 2011 issue. Check out our Business Savvy column, "What You Need to Know About Trademarks and Quality Marks," p. 24. For even more information, Business Savvy columnist Marlene Richey recommends in the article that you look at "The Essential Guide to the U.S. Trade in Gold and Silver Jewelry" on the Jewelers Vigilance Committee website.

I'm new and I have a 22g nickel silver and 16g sterling to cut. What size blades should I use?

Thank you so much for this beautiful,quality instruction. I am a beginner (I have had a few lessons with the local lapidary club I joined a month ago) and have found your teaching and tips very, very clear, concise and in easy to understand steps.

Glad to hear that you're getting useful information out of our videos. And you're very lucky to have a lapidary club nearby - communities like that can be a great wealth of knowledge.
If you'd like to expand your jewelry-making community even more you should visit the forums on our Magazine's Web site. They're a friendly, helpful group!
