    For me I don't watch sports or movies. My famous heros are jewelers. You for one are on my top 3 in no particular order. Maybe the top cause you cover everything. When I watch your videos I'm left with little to no questions. When I first got into jewelry I was impatient to learn and I thought you talked too much. Lol but as I learned patience is key to this I found myself turning to your videos more and more because you're so thurough. You're truly a master of your craft. You do it all. I'm never short of impressed. Thank you for your teachings.

    I am learning jewelry making this year. I just experienced my first sawing excise yesterday. It was so frustrating and my lines were so wiggly. Thank you so much for your video. You help me to understand more. 😊

    Hi @Andrew Berry, I'm finally getting back to "attempting" to make bench jewelry... specifically your cage pendant. You gave ME this same advice regarding saw blades in one of your weekly Q&A sessions when I inquired about blades. I followed your advice and ordered 1 pkg of assorted Super Pike blades AND 1 pkg of 3/0 blades. I have 2 things to say about it...
    1) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SOME REALLY GOOD ADVICE!
    2) I wish I had known to make this purchase sooner! Good quality blades do make a HUGE DIFFERENCE from using the cheap blades I initially bought. I've sawed more than I ever have without a single breakage.
    Thanks again for all the valuable lessons. I'll be subscribing once again to your ATB website as soon as I am able. Take care and say hi to @Louise Berry. Cheers! 🙂

    I am halfway self-taught and have been dabbling for a bit under two years. Did some decent pieces. I learned most of my stuff from watching people make jewelry, reading and experimenting. But I never could cut proper straight and spent ages evening out simple straight cuts.
    Almost all of what you just showeed here was pretty much news to me, for instance I had no clue you had to lube your blade, and I just tried it out. I now cut almost perfectly straight lines already. Thank you so much!

    Best tutorials around. Every time I watch one, I'm in love with the precise detail the instructor goes into. Some may think it's too much information, but I guarantee, if you watch one of these and follow thru with a physical practice session to internalize the technique, you will appreciate the detail and you will have a leg up on learning good technique from the start.
    Just as an example, I started in metalsmithing by taking some classes at a local studio. When teaching piercing, not a single instructor mentioned angling the saw when sawing a straight line. It was always "Hold the sawblade at a 90 degree angle to the metal!" no matter what you were doing. I eventually figured out the angle thing myself, but only after a lot of frustration and wasted time with straight lines never actually being straight.

    Piercing was a struggle for me in the beginning and although my overall skill has improved with time I still had trouble with sawing straight lines. I was trying to saw straight up and down even on straight lines and now this one tip of angling the frame has really helped me do a better job (less filing and sanding to try and even things up). Thanks Andrew!

    Hello Andrew hope all is well . I’m going on my forth week of attending a jewelry trade school and I’m in heaven the best way to learn is starting from the basics from measuring cutting filing sanding and polishing without those simple techniques you will never master this art . But great videos and precise instructions in your teachings you make me feel like I’m in a class session stay safe God bless you and your family

    Thank you Andrew - today I was teaching myself how to saw watching your video while doing it, stop and start :) and I totally understand now why you use 3 blade, its a great beginning, I need to practice a whole lot more how to be precise, my sheet was huge, so I only cut 2 inches by 1 inch and I understand now why the saw size matters :)

  • @stephend2662
    @stephend2662 3 года назад

    Makes it look so easy. You're a master. I'm just beginning but made every mistake so far. Cheap E-bay saw, unbranded blades, not knowing how to put them in. No idea of sizes of blades. Tried to use tool-box hacksaw, can't cut straight line but maybe now work on my technique...!

  • @kurtstory9466
    @kurtstory9466 6 лет назад +2

    Excellent instruction--it's those little but important details shared from years of experience that are so helpful. Thanks--angling the blade when making straight cuts makes perfect sense--it helps keep the blade pointed along the cut line.

    These videoes are great! One thing is the techniques shown in detail, but most of all I love the explaining of why. Startet to get inspired by @scaffoal (recommend it) and his channel, but didn´t think it was in reach for me to try even the simpler rings.
    Now that I´ve discovered this channel, realizing I can start without too much initial toolcosts, I´m going to try a simple silver one . Even found a shop in the neighbour town here in Norway to provide the essentials for soldering and such. Thank you!

      Cause all those tiny teeth hold precious metals. Sake them up with your emery paper etc and when you have enough you send them to a precious metal reclamation specialist to recover the metals and they give you the money it’s worth

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi. No. They contain small amounts of precious metals if you have been sawing silver or gold. When you get a big bag full of them you can reclaim the precious metals back

  • @dorisrosa4042
    @dorisrosa4042 7 лет назад +7

    I read in an article that this guy was recommending that you can use the broken blades as glue sticks applicators, use them to apply black max to gold or chuck them up in a pin vice and use them as a mini file, they work great on wax if you carved.

    • @wendyannh

      You can also buy mini handles into which broken pieces fit, and you can just keep sawing away like normal with them.

    @d.rennolds4159 7 лет назад +1

    Regarding "Why Save Broken Saw Blades?" Some saw frames can be adjusted vertically which would allow you to use shorter and shorter pieces of saw blades in the frame. The was probably more common 'back in the day' when everything was reused to its full extent.

    • @wendyannh
      @wendyannh 7 лет назад +2

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  4 года назад +3

      Because if you are piercing gold and silver then there are tiny bits of precious metals in the teeth. Keep them in a bag and add them to your sweep bag in a few years time and you will get paid for the precious metal content when you send the bag off to the metal reclamation specialists

    • @TheAndreArtus
      @TheAndreArtus 5 лет назад

      That pattern is called the "set". For most general purpose blades the set has teeth alternating in the fashion indicated in the video, but you also get patterns like 0-set, flush-cut set, and other asymmetric sets. A 0-set blade, where the kerf (width of the cut) is the same width as the blade body leaves very small burrs, but invariably catches or overheats on deep cuts (thus requiring extra attention to lubrication).

    Andrew, I had some blades where I swear the blades cut off to the side! I know it was the blades, cuz if I tested them by flipping them, they then cut the other direction, totally off to the side, like instead of aiming towards 12:00 it cut towards either 10:00 or 2:00!! I can’t imagine a newbie getting these! Nightmare. I ruined a ring, when trying to file through. Thought I’d lost my mind!, btw, I used to be huskyfluffy. Something happened and my name got changed, not my choice.

    • @andijvie3119
      @andijvie3119 4 года назад

      Gripco1 Its possible, maybe some error occured while manufacturing the sawblades. The solution is to cut towards 10 or 2 oclock or just throw it away 🤗

  • @sam111880
    @sam111880 6 лет назад

    curious what is the difference from a piercing saw vs a construction coping saw if one used say scroll saw or band saw blades in it. I believe scroll saw blade size go as far down as jewlery blades so are they the same thing? Do you prefer using the piercing saw vs a scroll saw it seems scroll saw is just easier to uses to me if you got the equipment.

    • @TheAndreArtus
      @TheAndreArtus 5 лет назад +1

      Coping, fret, and piercing/jewellers saws are all examples of one-handed bow saws. They can, for the most part, and with some effort and limitations, be used interchangeably. An important factor of a bow saw is the stiffness of the frame relative to the hardness of the material you wish to cut. Piercing saws are designed for cutting relatively hard material (soft metals) with fine blades (allowing intricate work and minimal waste). Coping and fretsaws can be used (with suitable blades) for relatively course metal work, but they are primarily designed for wood.
