VERY NICE MENDE! I like the way you split and joined the ring. I have been wondering where you have been.

Mende, you did a good job on your keyring, and I like that you found a different way of doing the 'ring' part of it. That's one of the most fascinating things about blacksmithing to me........each smith finds his own way of forging a piece..........Cool!

Well, I looked at this piece with critical eye and I LIKE IT!! Good is being able to take a piece that you 'thought' you have messed/destroyed and still finish it and it look good. Attaboy. Ain't this FUN?!?!!!
