🔊 Sound on for this one! One important tip for sawing metal with a jeweler’s saw frame is to make sure your blade has proper tension! When inserting my blade I press the saw frame against the edge of my bench and flex the frame with my hip every so slightly. This gets the blade in there nice and tight and then I pluck the blade with my fingernail – it should make a high pitched sound ☝️ Hope this is helpful! Saw frame is the haymaker created by @lionpunchforge and available at @pepetools_usa #sawframe #pepetools #jewelerssawframe #jewelrymakingtip
