Sawing The interior Spaces for Making Jewelry
I'm D.J. Poye, professional Jeweler and Gemologist and I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, next step. What we're going to do is going to be removing metal away from the main piece. What I'm going to be doing is, I will open up the saw itself, the blade itself and remove it from one end, the base end and that will be fed into a hole and then I will place it back into the holder again, the saw blade and then tighten it up. That's the only way we can remove these small pieces out of here, that's why we had to make the hole in there first, is to put the saw blade in, remove it from the saw, put the saw blade in and then cut and that's what I'm going to do right now. I undid the base of the saw blade. We're going to focus on the larger that we'll cut out. I fed it through the hole, now I'm cranking down on, placing saw blade back into the saw, and you can see there's a little flex in between, but once I release it from my shoulder, it has the taughtness to it again. So I will pick a little bit of the burlife up again, and you'll make sure that you kind of move a little slowly, so just get some of the burlife onto the saw, because we want to make sure that it's a nice smooth, smoothness again, okay? Basically, once again, you hold the piece with your hand and then you just move along the edge of where the template is, inside where you basically placed your, the drawing on the tracing paper. When you get close to the edge, you're going to have to be very careful, go very slow. I actually started it in the...okay. As we move around here, kind of an awkward angle but you still have to make sure the blade is totally straight and as we slow it down ready to meet with the other end, just slow down a little bit and the piece should just drop right out. Okay, the first hole has been removed and I'll do the next series of four right now and then we'll move on from there.
