Bees Wax: This is very handy for rubbing on the blade of the saw. You can get this at most bead stores or even a sewing store.
Saw Blades: Of course, these are needed to go into the saw. Size #2 is a good size that seems to work with most projects I do. There are many sizes of saw blades from 8/0 to 8. The smaller the blade number, the more teeth per inch on the blade. We had been told to use a brand called Herkules which I still use and have been very happy with. I've used less expensive brands, but they don't seem to last long for me.
