In metal smithing class, I am working on a ring as my main project. We had to do a pierced design, both to practice drilling/sawing metal and a couple of different types of soldering.
I’ve finished the design, cut it out and soldered it onto my solid silver. In the next few weeks I will cut it to size, form it into a circle, solder the band and then do a LOT of polishing.
Because I am new to sawing, my control is poor. As a result, I chose a very forgiving design that is meant to look a bit primitive.
No, really.
It’s supposed to look like this.
