A tip from @rsalley: label each saw frame's blade number on a movable strip of magnetic tape.

If you keep multiple saw frames around with different saw blades in them @rsalley has a great way to keep track of them! He cuts small strips of magnetic tape and writes down the number of the saw blade. The magnets are easily moved around when you switch saw blades. Love it! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #jewelrytools #sawframe #jewelerssaw
