Total amateur - pendant from metal scrap - assistance begged haha
Planning to make a pendant in the shape of a pentacle (hollow 5 point star) from a piece of scrap cast iron, have no access to proper machinery and would deeply appreciate advice on how to go about this using handtools. I can make the basic shape with a file but I'm stumped as to how to remove the inside parts. Thank you for your time and advice

Hi,
Welcome,
Drill a hole, thread a coping saw* blade though it, put the blade into frame and saw away, repeat for each part you want to remove.

*google will show you what they are.

If you going to buy a saw and intend to make more jewellry, can I suggest a jewelers saw.
Relatively cheap
Jewelers Saw Frames & Blades | Jewellery Tools
and will do a far better job.
