When you are making multiples of a piece, creating a template in a base metal saves so much time! Thank you for sharing yours @jimbo_ve this particular template not only gives you a good trace to saw out the piece but it also has a hole you can insert your scribe into to mark each piece for drilling. 🙌🏻 I’d love to see other templates, send me a DM! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrymaking #jewelrytipoftheday #benchjeweler #instajeweler #metalsmith
