I don’t have any, but I have some of an old craft that I made as training from pretty long ago. I plan on making a video showing the process of crafting, but it’s not done yet…
(Don’t pay attention to the pattern, I just took it online to train myself on a design with a lot of holes)
First I print the pattern, glue it on the metal and drill a hole in each hole of the design
I put the blade of the saw through each hole to cut it along the pattern (this shows the back to make it more visible bur I just saw along the lines of the print, I don’t do it blindly)
Finally I remove the paper and polish the craft with mainly small brushes on a rotary tool
I have small files, but most of the shape is just cut with a blade, that is indeed a bit of a magical super tiny one :') The blade is extremely thin, which helps for details but make it very prone to breaking, that’s why you need to be rather gentle while working with it. But they also come in packs of over 100 of them, which helps :p

That’s really interesting - thank you :)
The handmade nature really emphasises your skill and control, especially following all those small curves with some sort of fretsaw/coping saw.
Thanks for sharing these :)
