I use hammered jump rings a lot, because I love everything about them. And of course, now I'm using a 2/0 instead of the 2 saw blade (lol, Jo!) I'm getting a faster and neater cut to them.

I've not tried sawing from inside my coil; so I shall give that a go next. I see that you have a Knew Concepts saw, rather than a traditional one; and it seems much faster to fasten the blade....I may have to upgrade. And of course, now i have seen you use a jumpring maker, I'm going to fold over a tab of wire at the beginning of my coils (I use various bail making pliers, dowels, pens and yes, some charity shop knitting needles) to use as a brace for the saw blade. That's a top tip, right there! thanks Jo.

***I have tried that sawing technique and I think I love you ! ***

Here's a bracelet I made with a variety of hammered hoops.
