Unusually Shaped and Etched Ring
The unusually shaped ring was first cut to size using metal shears. It was then sawed to get the unusual shape. After it was sawed, it was bent using the ring sizer and a rawhide hammer. The ring was then soldered together by heating up the metal, placing flux in the desired area, and using extra easy solder to hold the pieces together. After it was heated up the ring was placed in the nitric acid to be cleaned from firescale and it was finished using bobbing, tripoli, and rouge to hide the solder line.
The etched ring was first cut to size using metal shears. It was then brite-dipped in the nitric acid. After it was in the acid, it was covered in tar and the design was etched out of the metal. The band then went back into the nitric acid until the design was deep enough and the tar was removed using paint thinner. The ring was then bent using the ring sizer and rawhide hammer. The ring was then soldered together by heating up the metal, placing flux in the desired area, and using extra easy solder. After it was heated up the ring was placed in the nitric acid to be cleaned from firescale and was covered in perma-blue to oxidize the design. The ring was then finished using bobbing, tripoli, and rouge to hide the solder line.
