We will be starting on final ring designs.
If you have not turned in your sketches including your final sketch, you are falling behind.

Class ends at 11:32.

Go to either lunch or your 5th hour class next.

Thursday

Today your sample medallions need to be completed and turned in.  If it is not completed by the end of class, turn in what you completed so far.  Next week you can work on finishing the missing techniques.  Each technique is worth 10 points totaling 100 points. Place the medallion in an envelope with you name on it, and place it in the orange basket.

Also due today...final sketches for your ring must be turned in for grading, and so I can prepare the metal needed for the ring.  If you are still working on the 10 sketch group, finish it quickly and show me so you can complete your final sketch today.  All together the sketches are work 40 points, and are required to move on to the band ring.  The band ring is a summative assignment, and will have a large impact on your grade.  

Next week is the 6 week progress report.  Make sure you are caught up. Assignments due before the 6 week mark cannot be made up after the progress report time.  Plan accordingly.

Sample Fabrication:

1. Saw your metal in half with a zig zag line.

2. Draw a shape on one of the halves.  Tap a dimple towards the inside of the line.  Drill a whole in the dimple.  Saw out the shape.

3. File the zig zag edges.  Make one pointed and make the other curved.  File the negative shape using flat files for the straight edges and round files for the curved edges.

4.  Anneal your metal to prepare it for further work hardening.4.  Anneal your metal to prepare it for further work hardening.
