Thursday

I am at East today demonstrating wheel throwing for Mrs. Hansen's classes.  I will be back tomorrow.

Everyone has work to complete, some more than others.  Be sure that you are on task.  Mrs. Tonn would enjoy see what you're working on.  Be sure that she does not have to ask you to show her your work, because you still have it in your locker!

The video will give you a start to finish look at how to make a band ring.  

All surface work must be completed on your band ring before it is made round.  This includes all textures, stamping and surface soldering.

Several people have bent their ring around the mandrel and are ready for the next steps...

1. The two end of your band should be overlapping to produce the correct size for the finished ring.
2.  Using a bend pin, saw the band at the overlap portion of your band.
3.  Use a flat file on the ends as needed so they meet snuggly.  You cannot see light between the two ends if you did this step correctly.
4. Pickle the ring.
