Here is a tip to prevent cutting yourself while sawing. On the left you can see I’m holding my piece and allowing my fingers to be in the path of the blade. This in my experience led me to many accidents back when I was starting out. On the right you can see I’m sawing with my fingers completely clear of the path of my blade. No matter what the shape of your piece is just check that your fingers are completely to the sides or better yet behind your blade entirely! I haven’t cut myself sawing in years because I do a simple check before I start. Hope this helps everyone, please stay safe! 🙏😘 oh and happy Friday! #metalsmithsociety #beginnerjeweler #jewelrysawingtips #jewelrytipoftheday
