Here is a technique to saw out duplicate shapes from @hanamadenz - “I have a really simple tip to share that has changed my life since I was told it by another jeweller a couple (how I didn't figure it out by myself I don't know)

If piercing two of the same thing (for example for earrings) use double sided sticky tape to stick 2 pieces of sheet together before piercing. It holds together really well, no slipping. And cuts your time in half! Sticky residue washes off/easily burnt off with the torch.” Love this! Thank you for taking the time to send and being patient! This tip was sent last November but I finally have an office day dedicated to going through my emails 🤦‍♀️ so thank you all for your patience with me! #sawingjewelry #sawingduplicates #doublesidedtape #benchpin
