**This workshop will be conducted via live streaming with Zoom.**

Please join us for this free event! The Jewelry Online Connections (JOC) is an informal way for us to gather and share. After we have a chance to say “Hi” and catch up with each other, we’ll get right into our monthly topic.

Later in the session, you’ll have an opportunity to share a project that you’re working on, get feedback on a design, or get advice from the other participants on how to solve a technical challenge.

We welcome your suggestions for future topics. If you have a topic that you’d like to host, let us know! Send your ideas to jewelry.lead@bainbridgebarn.org

DATE: Monday, October 19th
TOPIC: Saw Frame Challenge
HOST: Host: Nanz Aalund, Email: nanza@bainbridgebarn.org

This is the most hotly debated topic on Jeweler’s Facebook forums. Every few months the topic of which saw frame is best pops up with hundreds of posts professing that each is best without any evidence to support those claims.

Join the Jewelry Studio at BARN - for this free compare and contrast session as we put the new breeds of jeweler’s saw frames to the test against the classic standard German jewelers saw frame. Included will be a discussion of “throat depth” and Saw blade to metal gauges.
