The first stamped 451° ring in copper was so popular that I had to make one cast in sterling silver for Montag.

Ring-A-Day: Teen Complaint Ring
There’s that awkward period where kids discover privacy and feel like their parents are always looking at them. They say thinks like “OMG, you’re so hovering.” Never mind that parents usually just like their kids. If your kids say something like this, you can tell them to go do the Hoovering.

Ring-A-Day: Emerald Crystal Nut Ring
Brass plumbing parts are becoming a favorite base material. I found this 12mm Swarovsky crystal and went to the hardware store. The salesman asked why I was comparing the gem to the fittings. I said that I didn’t want my wife’s ring to fit down the drain. Making people laugh is always easier than explaining why you’d want to do that thing with the other thing.

Ring-A-Day: Vacuum Ring
I had a Scottish roommate that would always do the “Hoovering” on Sunday. Folks in the UK tend to take a tool’s name and use it as a verb. It’s the lucky brand in America that becomes a Band-Aid, Kleenex, or Jell-O instead of the generic bandage, tissue, or gelatin. Americans like Googling, but Hoovering still hasn’t caught on.

Ring-A-Day: Fuzed Chain Ring
Wifie gave me an old sterling necklace and suggested that I melt it down for the Ring-A-Day project. Voila! Size 5.5. The chain shrinks and wiggles like a worm while it’s melting.
