Forginging a ring

So we cut a billet of steel down the center, Start a good distance  in from the ends

Then we heat our billet up to red/orange hot then we use the drifts and slowly open the slit that was cut earlier.So sorry I didn't take picture of that

Smallest wedding ring

This is a wedding ring I made today, it is a size D and a half. The smallest I have ever made, it is 9mm wide. It will be pave' set with three rows of 5 each, 10 pointer RBC. Ridiculously small, with my chubby fingers I had a fun trying to hold onto it.

Drifting

I forged two Drifts, to help me along with my forged ring. I must say it made it ten times better, it is already looking better. One uses it very similarly to a jewellers triplet, the difference being that steel must be worked when it is hot. So I will try again and try to find the balance between good craftsmanship and rustic appeal. 

Comfort fit, otto shank ring

My first comfort fit Otto shank. Very comfortable on the finger I must say. It took loads of filling because we don't have a draw horse or an oval draw plate. Time consuming but I was happy
