Yes the Jeweler’s saw blade is much smaller. About the diameter of lead from a mechanical pencil.

I have blades that are not much larger than a hair. Need magnification to see which way the teeth point.

That sounds like a Jeweler’s saw blade.

I remember when I first wanted to try coin cutting (into puzzle pieces). I ordered an inexpensive saw and some blades on Amazon. When I first opened the package, I thought the 144 blades (wrapped together with wire) were one blade until I realized how thin they were…

A good friend and bandmate was in an automobile accident yesterday afternoon. He was rear ended on a two lane mountain highway, pushed off the road, rolled down a 50 ft embankment and ended up in the river. He’s bruised but OK. The cigar box fiddle of which I posted a pic several days ago spent 3 hours in the river. Triage is underway on that fiddle and 2 banjos. Oh the humanity!

OH NO!!! Glad to hear he is ok, and hopefully the next few days are going to see him continuing to improve instead of finding more things that hurt.

Priorities! ROFL! (Glad no one was seriously hurt!)

He’s sore but fine. And it’s another great story that will, of course, grow with every telling at the weekly jam. Haven’t seen the fiddle yet. Guessing it will need some new parts but if they can restore the one from the Titanic sinking this ought to be doable. We’ve been talking at length about using the Glowforge to help with building his cigar box and similar folk instruments. No designs in the works yet, but lots of sketches on bar napkins.
Edit: played music with him last night. He wasn’t moving real quick but was able to play and got the fiddle dried out. Joked that his fiddle sounded a little muddy to me.

Omigosh…that is seriously frightening! It is truly amazing that he got out of that with so little injury. I’ll bet he has a renewed appreciation for life, now.

So true. I thought the same when I got my 1st order of jeweler saw blades. I use the saw to make guitar picks & spartan Face Masks out of coins & tokens

So happy he survived. Wow.
On the other hand we can open the war on Glowforge made violin parts here and have two fronts. Just saying.

I don’t know, do you think that @rpegg and his friends are qualified to judge the resulting sound quality?
Edited to add: obviously, I am being a total smart aleck … but since I know that humor does not always play via the internet/written word, I’ll clarify that my comment was very tongue in cheek!

We play Appalachian Oldtime music. Nobody has ever said to us the sound was the best part.
