Ford, how were the openings in a Tsuba traditionally cut before jewelers saws were used?

[@FordHallam]

Hi Jack, we don't have any hard evidence of actual practice in Japan but based on what we do know of similar early metalworking cultures and technical developments it seems likely drilling played a big part, a series of holes a bit like the perforations around stamps, chiselling and filing. I plan to do an iron pierced tsuba in this way at some point, as a film series.

@@FordHallam I remember you talking about that now in an earlier episode. Thanks again...
