Cory's Ringby ~ou8nrtist2

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

Here's a commissioned ring in stainless steel I just made for a friend.It's an ancient Celtic technique of twisting square stock back and forth during forging.

When you tried it on, did it feel overly thick against the other fingers? I bought a tungstin ring not to long ago and when I put it on, it pressed painfully into my other fingers.

Other than that, I love its look.

It was comfortable for me as well as the client I made it for,but we're all different.Some folks can't wear rings at all...

~skipshot Nov 3, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

I can believe that. It took me some time to get used to the thickness of my ring, so for those who can't at all; I feel bad for them.

Nice.
I like that the twist isn't in line.

Thanks Mari...

fantastic! where is it welded?! and i love the fact that you smoothed out the inside, which way did you go about that? just grinding it out? came out great. youre such an influence and im always a fan. thanks for sharing sir!

~ou8nrtist2 Sep 7, 2012

The weld is at 2 o'clock.You can just barely make out a tiny little dot.
The inside is first ground out with a carborundum die grinder bit ,sanded, then polished with scotchbrite.
Part of the beauty is if you back off a bit on polishing,to let the carburizing effect(darkened areas) from forging speak.The contrast of the dark and light is what gives the piece it's character.

That came out very well. Is there a name for that technique that I could used to look up more about it?

~ou8nrtist2 Sep 4, 2012

If you Google "forge twisting"you might find more on the subject.
