Lubricating Metal Instead of the Saw Blade

A tip from @andrewberryuk for rubbing lubricant onto the metal rather than the blade when piercing so lines stay visible.

When piercing metal, rub some #BurrLife or #CutLube onto your metal either on top or underneath. This helps lubricate the blade as you cut. By adding lubrication directly to your blade is wasteful and the excess obscures your lines.” Such a great simple tip! I have BurLife from @riogrande and I also love PepeLube from @pepetools_usa, some folks use beeswax as well πŸ™Œ Thanks for letting me share πŸ˜ƒ If you want to watch YouTube videos of jewelry making check out Andrew’s channel!#makingjewelry #metalsmith #jewelrymakingtips #metalsmithsociety
