STEEL & NYLON BENCH BLOCK W/ RUBBER HELPER This three piece set includes a thick vulcanized firm rubber base which absorbs shock, plus a round block of solid steel that is 15/16" (24mm) thick and 3" (75mm) in diameter. The third piece is a sturdy round nylon block the same size that fits into the rubber base for lighter, more delicate work.

My favorite silversmith's setup. The key to good saw work is a set of Dazor or similar adjustable fluorescent bar lamps. Placing one of these hot spot free fluorescents behind one shoulder and another opposite will provide a shadow free view of where you are going.   Tip: Always keep your scribe line in-between your eye and the saw blade, then smooth your edges to your scribe line with hand files.     - John
