Julie Sanford is here with three great tips for using a jeweler's saw. Sawing requires precision and practice to achieve accurate cuts in various materials.

Before starting, make sure the blade is properly tensioned by adjusting the saw frame’s tension screws. A loose blade can lead to wobbling and inaccurate cuts, while an overly tight blade can lead to blade breakage. Be sure to wear safety glasses when cutting metal.

This quick video is just a taste of what you’ll learn in her new Artful Metalsmithing video workshop collection: https://www.interweave.com/product/artful-metalsmithing-open-box-pendant-stone-chip-inlay-three-custom-chains/

You'll learn more about sawing as you make an open box pendant in this video: https://www.interweave.com/product/artful-open-box-pendant-online-workshop/. You'll use metal wire and sheet to fabricate an eye-catching open box pendant that's perfect for filling with stone chips or whatever material you choose.

You can also take her Stone Chip Inlay workshop to learn how to make your own stone chips for epoxy inlay and her Three Custom Chains workshop to learn how to make three types of bar chains. Each workshop is available individually, or get all three videos in the collection.
