    Thank you so much for posting this video!! It has helped me so much! I got a stool that was lower, flipped my bench pin so it would be flat instead of sloped, kept my saw blade at a 90 degree angle, and BAM! I actually sawed something beautiful!!! Please keep the tutorials coming!!

    This is the best learning channel :-) Love your way of making it completely understandable why/why not to do things a certain way. It does inspire to make something myself with enough confidence to believe even a first attempt on a simple piece might come out acceptable to amatures.

    I struggled today with curves. Glad I found this video. Tomorrow I will flip my bench pin. Also I need to use my whole blade while cutting. Great job teaching! Thank you

    What a wonderful instruction on scroll type cutting for a beginner like my self. I've got every single piece of equipment I need for smithing but I'm going through every video and some a few times before I even start. I've been cutting opal for years and tired of sending my stones out to be set. This is a natural progression

  • @ahmedpatel5005

    Best Teacher ever. Learning in an underdeveloped country, a lot of the techniques I know are outdated. But listening to you gives me a different perspective on the knowledge given to me by my mentor.

  • @joykennedy6489
    @joykennedy6489 5 лет назад

    This is a long video but every tip he gives is golden! Seeing him encounter a problem--even a broken blade and the need to fit the new blade into the middle of the project--and solve it was great.

  • @lunasky5635
    @lunasky5635 7 лет назад

    Thank you, Andrew! I can't wait for tomorrow to try out all your tips. I've shied away from curves because it seemed so hard. I really liked that your blade broke once. It's great seeing a teacher run into a problem and then show how to correct and explain why it happened. When the instructor does everything perfectly, I am discouraged because I know it will not go that smoothly for me. Now i know blades break even when a expert is sawing. I will curse less the next time i break a blade. Your calm demeanor has taught me to stress less

  • @janetfarr9720
    @janetfarr9720 7 лет назад +44

    Instead of "waxing" the top of the piece you are cutting, since the shavings will stick to it, wax the underside of the metal. You'll still lubricate and be able to see your lines.

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  7 лет назад +13

      Good tip but I feel that the shavings/lemel would get stuck to the underside and scratch the metal

    @flyingcheff 6 лет назад

    Andrew, when you say the "teeth will cut in a downward stroke ..'in theory'," does that mean it doesn't always? I find it drags a neutral (doing nothing) on the way up and cuts on the way down- always. When you say, "in theory", does that mean it is not consistent? Or is that an expression? Thans so much for all your amazingly generous and spot on videos!

  • @Aikidobear129
    @Aikidobear129 Год назад

    I understand the need to cut on the waste side but do you have a video explaining exactly how you file down the metal to the sketch line? What I'm interested in is what brand and type of file you use for fine work? My files get clogged continually when filing soft metal- brass, silver etc. so perhaps I'm using the wrong type of file. Any help you may offer will be appreciated.

  • @Ken_Dalton
    @Ken_Dalton 5 лет назад

    Great lots of tips for my memory bank. Cheers. Can I ask why do u turn your bench hook back around at an angle, after u finished cutting flat pieces Andrew? Sorry it's prob a basic answer but I'm just starting out trying To learn myself to work with some metals like copper and silver and also coins. I started making wood rings but I want to broaden my horizons so to speak. Love your channel, it's so helpful to me and many others.. Merry Christmas from Ireland, do I hint a Welsh accent there? Or somewhere close?

  • @liveoakart483
    @liveoakart483 7 лет назад

    Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I have learned so many great tips. In you last video regarding sawing straight lines you mentioned if you saw blade breaks keep them never through them away. What can I do with the broken blade so I'm not being wasteful. Thanks again.

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  7 лет назад

      Christie Minalga I should have added that you keep them if you are using precious metals and add them to your sweeps bag. Check out one of my previous videos on Reclamation

    Andrew, I read on one of those jewelry blogs that annealing your metal would make it easier to saw. Does annealing the metal make it any easier for a beginning to learn how to saw or is there no reason to do this? Thanks for all your great videos.

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  7 лет назад +1

      Hi, I would have thought it would make no difference as annealing only affects how the metal bends and moves and has nothing to do with sawing. First thing I have heard about it.

    • @joesmith1628
      @joesmith1628 7 лет назад

      My Tutor also said the metal is easier to pierce when annealed

  • @rocklover7395
    @rocklover7395 5 лет назад

    So if you add another sheet of metal to make two shapes of the same size, would you use the same size saw or would you change it for the doubled metal thickness?

  • @ljackson3375
    @ljackson3375 5 лет назад

    I use 3/0 blades but If I use the glueing metal together method for say making earrings do I need a different blade as I would be making my metal temporarily twice as thick

  • @yvoncormier9762

    Wouldn't an electric jig saw with a fine blade be good for curved or odd lines?

  • @lindabrookes1756
    @lindabrookes1756 7 лет назад +1

    when you 'drew' the shape on the sheet metal I suspect you used a scribe not a pen is that right?

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  7 лет назад +1

      Yes, I used a scribe as the line is a lot finer but don't mark the meal too deep.
