He said that his girl friend lost the one he'd given her ...... down a public
toilet no less. The ring was made from the flattened bowl of a cheap
stainless steel restaurant spoon.

With a story like that, I was hooked.  I told him to send me the picture.

Here's what he sent:




Next photo shows the ring I made for him, some of the tools I used, and the cardboard
"flattened spoon" pattern I made by measuring one of our kitchen spoons.

The ring was made by bending an 18 gage sheet silver cutout around a piece of 3/8 inch
iron pipe wrapped with duct tape to the lady's finger size.

I used my dad's old rawhide jeweler's hammer.. It felt real good to have it in my hand.

The project took less than an hour.


 
Closeups of the finished ring are below....

It's adjustable too...
