SAWING & PIERCING MYSTERIES

[@woodengold5204]

Awesome Greg, great video, I would love to see one on how to set up a workshop, shelving options, bench position, casting station all that kind of stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@greggreenwood4628]

Hello Woodengold, Thanks for your suggestion. I will be doing one in the future. Keep watching! Greg Greenwood

These lessons on the basics are always worth a watch even if you’ve heard it all before or you’re already a professional. There’s always something you can learn (at least one thing) that you wouldn’t have learned if you skipped it because it seemed too basic.

Hello wigglesworth, Very true. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood

[@merilynl.3907]

Great video--clear and helpful I like the blue shirt

[@greggreenwood4628]

Thank you for the comments. Happy jewelry making! Greg

[@redeyestones3738]

I finally got some silver delivered, but I ordered 12gauge, and received 30 gauge. So while I wait for the replacement silver to come, I have a few days to catch up on all this well presented information that Mr. Greenwood is nice enough to produce for us. Cheers

[@greggreenwood4628]

Enjoy. Greg Greenwood

You are fantastic. I’m a beginner and this series has been so valuable for giving me confidence as i get started. Agree with DT Times - please don’t stop uploading.

[@greggreenwood4628]

Hello Alex. Thank you, you just made my day!!! Jewelry making is a very exciting art and I'm glad I can make it interesting and understandable. When you are beginning, it can be frustrating. If you have any questions as you go further, please feel free to let me know. I am here to help you. The best. Greg Greenwood

[@allibson]

@@greggreenwood4628 wow, thanks so much, Greg. It’s been a life-long dream of mine - love working with metal and with my hands. The cost of getting started has been tough, but a ring of mine got damaged, and in my quest to fix it, I’ve fallen for the art. Thanks for your generous contribution of time to KZbin to help us out!

[@deborahhardeman8802]

This did help me a lot this is one area of jewelry making that I just couldn’t do, I couldn’t load my blades right I didn’t know what blade with the right one to use. And the technique of sewing how are you set and how your saw is used and moving that silver instead of trying to make the blade move around a silver. Well I’m gonna give it a try again. I’m so happy that you had a video on the jeweler saw. I like that your videos show every step and the tools you used. God bless you

Glad to hear it! Greg Greenwood

[@robotwarlock]

Thanks, Greg, this video is fantastic! Your instructions are thorough and clear, the video work is great (really appreciated the side view while sawing, to see the position and motion of the frame.) The floating, spinning "magic saw-frame" is a great touch. :) Making my way through your other videos, and looking forward to future ones!

[@greggreenwood4628]

Hello robotwarlock, Thank you for your kind comments. I am very glad I can help you. The spinning saw frame was fun to do! Glad you appreciate it. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again. Greg Greenwod

[@greggreenwood4628]

Thank you again for your nice comments. Good Luck to you and your new business. Greg Greenwood

[@larrybertram4266]

It would be helpful to add suggestions about what grade (number of teeth/in) of saw blade to use

[@greggreenwood4628]

Hello Larry, Thank you for your comment. I have a video on my channel that explains the different saw blade sizes and the metal sizes to cut. Please check it out, it will really help you. "Up Close and Personal, Jeweler's Saw Blade Sizes Explained" Enjoy, let me know what you think. Greg Greenwood

Bonjour. Mon anglais n’est pas très bon, mais les images parlent d’elles même. Merci pour ces vidéos qui m’apprennent tant.

[@greggreenwood4628]

Bonjour, je suis heureux que mes vidéos vous aident. J'utilise Google translate, j'espère donc que ma réponse aura du sens. Merci pour vos gentils commentaires. Prendre plaisir. Greg Greenwood

[@sadafmaneval9274]

thanks to google translat. your answer is correctly translated. I recently discovered your channel, but I'm really enjoying it. Et voilà...

[@petert9749]

Very much enjoyed. I have become hampered by the paper 'fuzzing' around the saw. I now Laser photocopy my design and tape it design facing down onto the brass. Remember it is now reversed, so reverse it during the printing or drawing process. A graphics package helps so it can be printed on a LASER printer at home. Lightly emery the brass first. With print in place, wet a Q tip with acetone and moisten the drawing. Rub hard. A bit of practise hones the skill. Observe safety precautions on acetone bottle. Take the drawing away to reveal a hardy design transfer. Idea came from Wild Swan Publication's 'Model Railway Journal'; not sure which copy. Enjoy your art; it's cheap health insurance. Your efforts are appreciated.

[@greggreenwood4628]

Hello Peter, You are correct about the fuzz when using paper. Thank you for sharing your ideas using a laser photocopy and acetone. I'll give it a try. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood

[@petert9749]

@@greggreenwood4628 Used it just today. Works brilliantly. The idea is to not oversoak and use finger to rub down pattern. Use a disposable glove. The only drawback I know of is the emery polishing. Surface roughening can probably be omitted if you want a mirror finish. Try it out. For anyone wanting to try this: remember we are talking about Laser copiers, not inkjet; and don't get burned by the iron. Safety, Safety, Safety.
