Ringu 3

Filed under: Knitz and Crafts — Shiz @ 12:03 pm

So this week I took the tubing I made last class and made them into settings. I soldered each piece into 4 equidistant wires, then sawed them into the pieces you see here. I sawed my ring as well and overlapped some area where I inserted and soldered the settings. It still looks really funny because it hasn’t gone through the pickling (gets rid of the tarnished look) which is next, and will be followed by some polishing and then finally stone setting! Yay!

Here are some other scenes from a happy Sunday (Mia never stays still thus the blurry shot)!

    Wow, very cool ring Shiz!

    Haha, I love that pic of Mia. Hey, btw, is that a guitar case next to her? I could be wrong, but, did you take up ANOTHER new hobbie?! lol

    He plays? Wow, didn’t know that. What kind of guitar is it?

  4. Tienshiao Says:

    No. I wish. I can just barely do some basic things. How many years have I had it? It’s probably going on 3 years. I need to find more time in the day. And get some lessons.

    It’s a Dean acoustic.

    That’s cool. Just do what my brother and I did. There’s a program out there called “GuitarPro”, you can find different tabs on the net for ANY kind of music. It basically plays the tabliture of the song. It’s a very cool program, and you can learn songs pretty quickly.

    I know some songs on gutiar, but I’m pretty mediocre at it. And I even played bass guitar before I took up guitar. lol. It’s a fun program to use, and it’s makes it a whole lot easier to play songs that you like.
