My Project

Saw blades are an essential part of our jewelry classroom. With this project, we will be able to help roughly 525 students throughout the rest of the school year create amazing rock cabochons for their jewelry projects! Saw blades get used so frequently and is one of our biggest expenses in our classroom. This will also allow for the students to be able to make more rock spheres. Yes, you heard correctly, students can make rocks into spheres! That particular project puts a lot of wear and tear on our saw blades. Please help my students!
