Learn to use a jeweler’s saw by cutting both the exterior shape and interior negative space of a metal object.
Things to do:
1. Take only 1 or 2 pieces of metal. 2. Trace your metal on paper and design in that space. HINT: the metal is actually a little smaller. 3. Show your design to the teacher to get it glued onto the metal for cutting. 4. Cut out your shape with a jewelry saw and bench. 5. File the edge of the metal to perfect the cut shape. 6. Round over the edges of your piece with a file. 7. Sand your piece working from low grit to high grit to polish your piece.
Maintenance:
1. Saw only metal.
2. Always use a jeweler’s bench.
3. Use tools gently.
4. Wash table top with wet rag.
5. Wash hands with soap and water.
