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.

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.

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!

Wow, that’s great to hear! Err…it’s great that our video was helpful to you, not that your instructor wasn’t very clear.
And boy, that rewind button is great when you’re learning a new technique, isn’t it?

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.

thanks so much for this video. i am taking a basic jewelry design course and i must say this was more helpful to me on learning how to saw than what my instructor taught. it also helps that you can watch it a few times. great videos!

You know what’s funny? Being taped doing something, and then watching that video are two very different things for me. It’s hard because when I go back to watch the videos, even I have plenty of little criticisms of how I did things. Ah well, chalk it up to experience for next time I guess.
Glad you found some of it helpful!

I haven’t tried sewing wax – I may have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
The synthetic lube does adhere to the blade well, the extra bits just flakes off pretty quickly.

That’s true, 1axvn, it does help spread the heat. Good point to note.

Please watch the video at :5::34 it is obvious that the saw blade is to big for the thickness of the silver, you must size the blade to the thickness of the metal plate. AND It also looks like the saw lube is not attaching itself to the blade I use sewing wax and it attaches much better, but I have never used saw lube and after viewing this video I don’t think I ever will. There are a lot more things Id like to say, But I dont have time tonight.

This is the best teacher for silversmithing on youtube. I hope she makes many more videos.

She dose not fully understand what the saw lub/bees wax really dose, it dose reduces chatter, but really it’s there to spread the heat to all parts of the blade and extend the life of the blade by about 100%.

The techniques shown are helpful, but the instructor is somewhat lacking in the teaching department. She was quite monotone in her delivery, making it difficult to listen. However, the worst of all is that she’s just not that good at sawing. I’ve seen beginning bench students saw better and more smoothly. Sorry, it’s just my personal opinion after watching….
