    Hiya Lady Stardust. another wonderful video, thank you!!! It looks like a good saw, how does it compare with the knew? That blade was doing very well also. I love the way you saw up a line to show the shape & size with only one line, like on the sunflower around the leaves. I tried that on my last name I did & it worked well. A young thing like yourself suffering cramp in her left hand holding down the silver... mine knots up & it's game over for the day or two... The joys of age lol. Keep up the great work Basia, it's good to just watch & learn & admire.
    Take care & stay safe... Steve x...

      that's so lovely! Thank you Steve xx Ah, yes, the cramp was bad hahaha 😄 But it's becasue I was sawing in one go for the video, usually I take short breaks. No point in exhausting the hands like this! It's better to rest and then continue, it gives better precision :)

      @@TheArtOfMetalsmithing That is very true, but it is fun when you get a run going & you can see your shape appearing from the sheet. Yes it's there in ink but when it's forever?!? I do get carried away & cut too close rather than file to the line, doing some Norse style patterens, nice & easy & no small cutouts, well too small anyway. Good practice to get back in practice, I loose muscul memory after a while. Take care & stay safe... Steve x...

    Hello, I am playing a little bit with metal jewellery. I have one questions regarding preserving metals from oxidation. I work mainly with brass, copper and galvanized steel which is a great low cost substitution for silver. After I shape and sand the metal, sooner or later it oxidize. The brass and copper turns dark and the steel turns white. What would you advise to preserve the metals from oxidation and keeping them shiny? Thank you!

    How did it go with the engraving tip? Did it get easier and get a comfy flow? Fishy looks gorgeous! You're right B, watching you saw really helps me see how I can do it better (smaller tighter blades). Are the Pepe blades better you think? I have the Haymaker too. Thinking about the blades if they are much better....thank you for great video as usual!

And I mean it, I usually bought the Super Pike Swiss Blades, but I can feel Pepe ones are better. I will have to get their 6/0 and 8/0, but so far the 5/0 did a great job

These cutter are used for cutting straight lines, wires or some larger bezel. The piercing saw is used by jewellers for precise sawing, which cutters or shears wouldn't be able to handle

    Great video, the music and your voice are so soothing, I think I could have meditated during the video, or taken a short nap. I am American so I love your accent. Your other videos are great as well.
    I am finally deciding to invest in a more expensive saw. I hope you do a video soon comparing all the different models you own, and telling us which you prefer. It would be very expensive to buy them all to try out, so I'm hoping to buy the right one the first time.
    Anyway thank you for your amazing videos, I am a subscriber and put a like on every one I watch. I hope that helps your channel grow even if it's a tiny bit of help. You have definitely helped out many people including myself, so you deserve it! Thank you! 😊👍💙

In the meantime, I can tell you that, truthfully, there aren't huge differences between them, and I really like Knew Concepts, Haymaker and GreenLion equally! Each one offers something different, just personally to me, which I will explain in the video. But you can't go wrong with them, they are all great. So if the money is the main factor, you can go for the cheaper one of these first 😍

      @@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thanks for your advice, that helps with the decision making for sure. I am leaning toward the Knew Concepts saw right now because I like the way the blade gets mounted/tensioned. I use the German style saw now and my fingers get so sore from changing blades, trying to turn the little wing nuts. I'm sure any saw will be an improvement over that thing. I might wait for your video to make a purchase if I can hold out, haha. Are there any blade brands you recommend?

      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So, one maker shared a great tip with me in the past, which I use all the time now. It's to use a finer saw blade! This way your edges will be cleaner and not much cleaning will be required afterwards. I usually cut with at least 5/0, most of the time it's 6/0, and 8/0 for very fine designs. If you still would like to clean the edges though, you can thread a thin stripe of finer grade sanding paper and move it a few times, that should do the trick! 😃

      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      When I need to make a turn, I don't just twist my metal or the saw frame, becasue that will snap the blade. The saw doesn't cut like the scissors, so you need to make sure you are turning properly. I move my saw up and down several times in one place, making sure I have enough room to then safely turn the blade and start cutting in another direction. Hope that helps! :)

      Of course! You can send it to a company that recycles the scrap silver and get the money back or new silver. Or you can recycle it yourself if you have the tools, the space and skills! It's not very difficult, but requires time to learn (safety is the most important!) and tools required are an investment. You will need a rolling mill to roll your ingot after melting, to create wires or sheets.

    how do you adhere your design to the metal while you're sawing it out?

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use simple, double sided tape! So I will print or draw my design on the paper, then stick it onto the tape, and that stick that onto the metal :) Quick, effortless and inexpensive solution!

    Have you tried the GreenLion Studio Sawframe??

      I've had the GreenLion saw frame for almost two years now, I really like it! Actually, I'm a very lucky owner of all three great ones now, including Knew Concepts as well. I love them all, and after using each one for a fair amount of time, I can tell that they all do a great job, while offering something different. I use them for different jobs 😃 I will make a little video about them all in the near future, so I will include more details then 😃 Thank you for watching! :))

      I usually draw most of my designs, but I encourage everyone who may not feel comfortable with drawing themselves to purchase designs online, there are stock websites (and even on Etsy) and many designs can be purchased for a good price :)

    Silly question ... Do your arms ever get tired sawing this much all at once? I’m new with practicing my sawing skills and my arms really do get tired. Then again, I’m much older than you are so maybe you’re just in much better shape!! 🤣

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing

      oh I wish Kristin! 🤣 Unfortunately my arm gets tired too, can't escape it haha 😃 I usually take short breaks, but I was commited here to finish it all in one go for the video. So yes, I definitely recommend taking breaks, no point in exhausting our arms like this! :)) Thank you so much for watching!

      @@kristinperdue6392 Hiya, as an old foggy I can say from the heart that getting tired/cramp is a pain... lol... Frequent breaks are best for reliving the cramp. Little & often is I believe the saying? I like books on cd's to pass the time but as my library is closed Planet Rock radio works for me... Practice makes perfect, well, close in my case... Stay safe... Steve...

      Stephen Coster Hiya Steve! You’re so right! I also get terrible hand cramps and I have to stop sawing and shake and move my hand until it feels limber again. Your advice is great! Frequent breaks are the right thing to do! Thanks for your encouraging words and helpful advice! 😃
