January 8, 200818 yr I needed a new wedding band so why buy it when you can make your own. Don't know what the wife will think but heck it was only a half hour job and a chunk of ss pipe and a nice 400 grit finish thats easy to touch up...Bob
January 9, 200818 yr I have made right many wedding bands from stainless before , some decorative and some rather plain. Most were for family and friends and were really appreciated ( perhaps more than store bought rings ) as they had more of a personal touch and couldnt be destingushed from store except they were from 316 L stainless.

January 9, 200818 yr Me and Sarah's rings were made by Mike....pretty memorable time. We sat in the machine shop while he turned a few out. Did some test fittings until they were just right. It was really cool to have watched them get made, and by my future father-in-law. Being stainless I have less worries of it wearing thin of getting bent up like gold or silver.... ...it also quieted a few of my fears of him wanting to kill me too! The guy made the wedding rings so how could he want to murder me? LOL!!!!! I will try and upload a photo of it tonite if anyone is interested. Peyton
January 10, 200818 yr Peyton, definitely post em. Are they just "simple" clean bands? I fully know about the "wearing thin" thing. Mine was much thicker than my wifes when new, and it had a little ridged band around the top and bottom edges - ridged like a dime. Now it's thinner than hers and the ridge is like that little edge on a grinder-sharpend axe.
