I learned so much! This was incredibly useful, many thanks! I have wood working tools but this is mechanical engineering and chemistry. Funny how all the sciences intrude on the arts - structural for wood, metal, and fabrics, mechanical for jewelry and metal, chemistry for jewelry and cooking, etc. Not enough time in one life to learn them all but I'm getting there slowly.
My daughter lives in Kent , Washington . Small World indeed. Thank you Sir , for these college level tutorials !! I learned more in the first 5 minutes of your video than I learned all week on TH-cam! !
HI Randy, this was great! I really appreciate your showing not only saw set up and techniques, but also setting up one's bench pin and different styles of pins. That is very helpful. Also appreciate your demo's on the different jig vise miters and tube cutters. Thanks! : )
Hello Julie, I'm happy to hear that you found the video to be helpful. I wanted to show just about everything I could think of that related to using a jeweler's saw and how there're a lot of different options to choice from.
Thanks for sharing the different Jeweller's tools. Found 2 I never heard of and have put on my OttoFrei wishlist. Keep at it, look forward to your next video.
Thank you so much for this video! ❤️🙏🏻❤️ I’m currently struggling to even get the saw to go up and down!!! 😩😑 It’s as if it gets stuck in the metal! 😧 I guess I should push it a little more perhaps? 🤔 I’m following the table that shows the size of the saw depending on the thickness of the metal, and I am loading it in the correct orientation (I’m also using the Green Lion saw frame), so yeah … sawing is a struggle for me at the moment 😓
Yes the discount code is only good tell 10/31/18 as for the Knew Concepts saws, they look like that would be an awesome saw. I wasn't able to get my hands on one for this video and I might be able to in the future. I do know that Ottofrei does sell them so if you wanted to get one you can get it for a little cheaper. If you'd like another discount code, just head over to my website, at the bottom of the home page you will see a spot to put your email in. This will sign you up for my newsletter and it will send you a better discount code. 😄
This video is sponsored by Ottofrei.com but I'm the one that picked all of the tools and I was able to make the video how ever I saw fit. If you are looking for more tools and materials that I use, well you're in luck! I made a page on my website just for that that I'm updating all the time so bookmark it to stay up to date GomeowCreations.com/tools-and-materials and GomeowCreations.com/partners-discount-codes *If you buy any of the tools or materials from my list I will make a small commission at no extra charge to you and it helps support the channel*
Yes, but I think it was only because I offer some value to them in return. I have a roller mill but is one of the cheapest ones I could get. amzn.to/2v0iW7e it does work but I would like a better one. 😀
GomeowCreations That's cool. You have more space than I do and much nicer view!! I have a studio apartment in an old folks community, but it has a huge bathroom for those who have motorized chairs. And that there is where put my bench! ;-) No, really! And I don't even have to climb over it to use the porcelain. 😁
Well my view is gone now seeing that I moved but I now have a full room for my work. I remember when I first started, I was working on a small table in my small kitchen. 😅
Nice new tools and awesome video! I’d suggest a video about the properties of the different metals you use, when not to use them, things like that. Maybe an introductory video to the machinery you use too. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thx so much! so …. what did you think of the Lion Forge saw? …. Also, I watched several videos before yours, trying to find one that could give me an idea of how to cut my new bench pin. Thx for showing this in your video!
i used the sythetic waxs and others but always found chalk and bee wax was easyer for me to get, real helpful vid, thank you, nice to see someone els cutting coins to lol, i cut out a rabbit one time, 35cm x 40cm, i have a frame with a 50cm odd throat, this took me over a week to cut out, did nothing els in the week but saw, the bigger the frame, that harder it is to keep that blade straght, love that black frame you have, looks real solid.
I do like the black saw frame that I have but I do like to use an 8in frame for just about everything I do. I have used it so much that it's not hard for me to cut a straight line =)
Hey thanks for this video! I live close to the beach so it's kind of hard to work with Cooper because at the next day the polished is missed. I think it will be good to know something about textures and other topics related to rusty jewelry (which is very fancy) thank You for everything.
We'll it really depends on how thick the wood is. Like then I cut the bench pin I used a size 3 blade and it cut through it very fast and easy. If you want to do thinner wood like 3-4mm you can cut it with a 2/0 with no problem if the wood is soft. You will have to test out the blades to see what you like and what works the best for you.
Okay Randy, so here’s my question. I bought a green lion curved jewelers saw a few years ago and I’ve yet to find any tutorial videos on how to adjust the saw tension. There’s no lever or screw to tighten the saw blades tension. I’ve had this saw for almost 2 years and practically haven’t touched it because every time I try to set it up the saw blade has way to much slack. If you could please explain how to adjust the saw blade tension on a curved jewelers saw that would be awesome! Thanks man.
I print my designs onto printer paper and use double sided carpet tape which i have three sizes of it up to 2 inch. The tape peels off or soaks off and the adhesive residue cleans up perfectly with white spirit. Regarding the printer paper I use ordinary A4 paper and I print the same image lots of times in various sizes and keep what I don't use for future use in a folder.
This was super helpful, thank you! I have this other issue with my saw blades popping out of my saw frame after a few strokes in the metal. I thought it was my original saw frame as I got it in a kit, but I recently bought a second saw frame (still a bit of a cheapie) and it is still doing it! I am tightening the ends as much as I physically can, but it is still coming out. Today it kept happening so much, I gave up at my bench. Is there any reason why this might be happening?
Oh I like that arched frame. Looks antique. I just got a Knew Concepts frame. The thing is a f*****g miracle. Got the aluminum model. Can't afford the titanium and don't saw that much.
GomeowCreations I got mine from Rio Grande. It was the cheapest one I found. It was about $65 for the 3" frame. I thought I ordered the 5" frame, but it is a 3". Oh well. I also have the same 8" German frame you have in your video. Works for me though. I moved the tightening screws to the right side last night (OMG! Easy.) because I am tired of hammering my fingers on my left hand. So annoying! Be sure you get one with the tensioner. So much better than tensioning the frame by bending. There is also a free used to get exact tension. Brilliantly. I skipped the swivel model. There is actually a measure in the top of the frame to measure your blades! I don't cut huge pieces. At least not right now. Although I did just by a 6"X12" 18 ga hunk of copper .... ;-) Cheers. If you get one, let me know what you think. I first heard about it from. Andrew Berry here on TH-cam. It's very pretty, too. Frosty red.
I want that saw blade caddy! Where'd you get it? Suppose I could make one, but yours is much nicer than anything I could make, and I haven't got a lathe.
I bought a set of very fine blades and when I try to put them on my saw, they snap just by closing the clamps. I’m new at this so please excuse this question. Is that supposed to happen? I cannot tighten the blade at all without it snapping. Are they defective? Please tell me what size blade do I need to get to cut jump rings from 16g copper wire. Thank you for all the info you share.
It sounds like you might be setting it too thigh, this will snap the blades. As for the 16g jump rings you can use size a 3 or 4 saw blade, make sure to use a lube to make it easier.
I use a lot of different tools to clean up the saw marks, here are all of them haha. amzn.to/2rrvi6Z amzn.to/2rqcAww amzn.to/2E6HAcB amzn.to/2E87Ses amzn.to/2Ejuwlc
Hello, I try to explain myself better, I need to tighten silver rings with semiprecious and hard stones but I would not like to remove the stone. how can I do? what tool do i need? 
They will contact me or I contact them. If I contact them I send them a links to my videos along with my TH-cam numbers showing views, watch time and subscribers per month along with total subscribers. If they like what they see or if I like what they are offering we will work together.
Yeah, I can see if all you did was saw stuff how this could help speed stuff up and save your wrist but I don't see a point of getting it for a hobbies. 😁

Hi, I really like this vid! I got a lot out of it and loved the little figures! THANK YOU!
Just bought one Thanks for sharing!!!
You're good with that saw. I was impressed with your cutting of Lincoln from the penny.
Thanks but it's been a lot of practice for sure
Thanks for sharing the different Jeweller's tools. Found 2 I never heard of and have put on my OttoFrei wishlist. Keep at it, look forward to your next video.
What 2 tools, if you don't mind me asking?
**Great Video** ---very skilled! learned quite a bit, Thanks
Nice - a great way of showing how I can use a bench saw - will definitely look for more :)
Well thanks and I hope more of my videos are helpful

No problem 😊 👍
Very nice and informative! Learned a lot, thank you.. 😊
Great video. Very clear and full of good information.
Thank you very much, I'm happy the info came across clearly. 😄👍
I see several items I want ! Does your discount code have expiration date ? What do you think of Knew Concept saws ? They have easy tension control
Yes the discount code is only good tell 10/31/18 as for the Knew Concepts saws, they look like that would be an awesome saw.

Thank you for the suggestion and I do think that is a good idea. I will have to think of an interesting way to do that.
So useful! Thanks!
GREAT vid....thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!
Thanks for watching 😊👍
great video. wish i would have seen this before. just cut a heart shape that took way to long and too many blades.
It takes time and blades to learn how to use this kind of saw 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations i just subscribed. i look forward to seeing more of your videos. thanks
That was enlightening, Randy! I learned some stuff!
Happy to help.
Nothing in your links shows the bench vise/ anvil for holding the wood cutting horse/backing block

If you want copper to keep it's polish you can add a clear coat to them to seal it. 😄👍

jewelers pickle and a buffing wheel with a good fine buffing compound.
Hi sir, I learnt a lot from this video. I have a doubt?
If I wanna cut wood with this jewelry saw, which blade should I use

It sounds like you are not tightening them down enough. To hold the blades.
@@GomeowCreations Thank you. That's frustrating, because I am tightening as hard as I physically can...
Make sure there is nothing stuck in there so it can close all the way
It may be the saw frame. Try a better saw. I read that the cheaper saws have tensioning issues.
Oh I like that arched frame. Looks antique. I just got a Knew Concepts frame. The thing is a f*****g miracle. Got the aluminum model. Can't afford the titanium and don't saw that much.

If you have your finger in front of the blade you risk impaling your finger with a broken blade
You're right about that. I've had that happen before with my finger on the side of the blade. 😅
It happened to one of my tutors and it can be a painful procedure to remove them
they should make a jeweler's scroll saw :D
I think they do but I can't seem to fine one right now. I'm sure you can also convert a normal scroll saw into one that can use these saw blades.
Yeah but that is a large investment 😅👍
Yeah, I can see if all you did was saw stuff how this could help speed stuff up and save your wrist but I don't see a point of getting it for a hobbies. 😁
