Seth Gould Prerecorded Workshop, Forging and Filing a Jeweler’s Saw Frame
In this prerecorded workshop students will learn to forge, file, and fit the parts of a jeweler’s saw frame. Starting at the anvil, the frame, thumbscrews, and pads will be accurately forged to shape and size. Moving to the bench, I will then fit and assemble the parts using files to both refine and decorate the saw. Techniques in this workshop include forging, punching and drifting, upsetting, filing, cutting threads, and basic heat treating. The accompanying material includes several illustrated handouts. Some forging experience will be needed to complete this project, but the information in this workshop will be useful to students of all skill levels.
