Very good job, Jerry. Congratulations. No matter the tool, good maker always do the best. That saw, that You call cheap, is very expensive here in South America (we are in the world's ass, sorry)

Great work, I like them all, but I like more the third one.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Hi everyone, greetings from Argentina. I learned to fretwork at 8 y.o. with my grandpa, who was a Basque cabinetmaker and luthier. Several year ago I took the chance of work in metal besides wood. I wish to introduce my latest works: Eagle head pendant, fretwork from an 1 mm thick nickel silver. I can't remember who's the pattern author. Clover pendant, fretwork from an 1 mm thick nickel silver filled with malachite powder. This is a knife handle, made of a local wood called lapacho and nickel silver. Another knife handle, made of carob tree and nickel silver. This is a "bombilla" (metal straw for a local hot drink called "mate") made of nickel silver decorated with a metal rosebud. A little pendant. Native style bird, fretwork in nickel silver, mounted on a staghorn slice. I hope you like my work.

Here are some of my work, this time in wood. This is made in 1/8" thick plywood and the backer is velvet paper. I've done for my daughters room This is for my youngest daughter. It's made in 1/2" thick brasilian pine and name is made in 1/8" thick plywood. I've finished it with boiled linseed oil. This is an old work that was never finished because I did not like how it turned out. It's made in 1/8" thick plywood. This aren't my best work, only some pieces I have done in spare time. Well, have a nice weekend.

Thank you all for your messages, I'm sorry , I made a mistake, 2 mm is about 1/16". It's polished (is this the wright word??) but you can't see cause the picture is made with a scanner, not a camera. I promise to post a better one. I like velvet idea, thanks. P.S.: It's made with a jewelry saw, cutting by hand.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I wish to show You an unfinished project. It's made in 2 mm (about 1/64") thick silver and measures 3" width by 4" high. I'm still thinking how to finish it... I hope you like it. Greetings from Argentina.

Hello, I'm a new member of this Community and I'm grateful to you for receive me. I live in Argentina and I'm a craftsman since I has 8 years old. I've learned with my Grandfather to make fretwork and today, after 40 years, is my favorite hobby. I hope to find and share some ideas and designs to make. Since now, thank you and I'm sorry if my English isn't good. Happy Ester for all of you.
