Here is a sawing tip from @littlemetalfoxes - “Having trouble sawing a coil of wire to make jump rings? Try putting your saw blade into the saw frame so that the teeth point UPWARDS rather than downwards. Brace the coil of wire against a pointy tip on your bench pin, and the blade will cut as you push in TOWARDS the bench pin. This pushes the coil tight against the wood while you are cutting and makes the whole process MUCH easier!” This is such a clear video of this technique thank you so much for letting us share! @littlemetalfoxes is on our list of online jewelry making classes! You can find them when you head to METALSMITHSOCIETY.com and head to the “Where To Take Classes” page. Would love to hear from anyone who has used the class page to find a new school! #sawingtip #sawing
