putting the knit in shizknitz

I never updated my cabochon ring project. I hand sawed the excess silver off of the bottom and then hand smoothed it down with a file and sandpaper. I then drilled a small hole in the middle of the bottom piece, then hand sawed a hole leaving 2 mm edge. The most difficult part was to saw it so cleanly and evenly since it determines the amount of light that shines on the stone from the bottom. I decided to do a thick band of sorts, and so I sawed and milled flat another piece of silver to approx 1.5 mm and hand sawed a curve into the band. I can’t wait for the Winter quarter to start so I can finish!
