monty Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 i have been thinking about making a ring (similar to a wedding ring)like a section of pipe that fits around the fingers, so no gap, how is this done? thank you monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake pogrebinsky Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Monty,i'm sorry,but the question as stated is somewhat odd: TECHNICALLY,there's any number of ways of forging a ring;mainly,punching and drifting a solid,or welding a strap into a loop. CHEMICALLY,an iron ring may react with the human body in an undesirable manner.I believe that most iron/steel objects that are meant to contact with the skin are lined with non-ferrous metals(the lining can be effected mechanically,or by means of galvanics-electrodeposited). Sorry,it's all very general information,but so was the question... Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 id make one out of silver - either cast it, or as i would choose, solder a strip shaped in profile as you like it, like jake said, in a correctly sized loop. you can buy very cheap plastic ring guages which are very useful for getting a good fit!! good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Hale Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you are interested you can use alost wax casting process. Suppliers will sell you wax rlings or the wax to make your own. You can carve add wax or wotever you wish to get the ring the way you want it to be and then have it cast in silver gold or wotever you wish.
