Wanted to try this style of wood bending at ring scale. It worked! I used 32nd inch plywood on a 65mm rectangle and hashed it with 1/3 width cuts. I might try molding the design and casting it in metal.

Ring-A-Day: Be U rings
You’ve got to Be U! Who says science isn’t fun? Beryllium is as rare as you are in the universe. Uranium 238 might be what’s powering the device you’re looking at right now. Hmmm.

Ring-A-Day: Mondy Ring
I made a few more Periodic rings today. Soon I’ll have the whole periodic set. This is actually a phonetic spelling of how my family pronounces the word.
Everything was going great today. Then the phone company showed up unannounced. No phone, no lights, no motor car. Not a single luxury. Anyway, if you’re having the same Mondy, here’s a little song from Sir Bob to help get you through the rest of the day.

Ring-A-Day: Hafnium Ring
And so ends the first half-nium of this journey. 182 rings. Had no idea what the project would be like after six months of making a ring every day, but you can look back and see all the daily accomplishments. Thanks for joining me on this journey so far. It’s only half done. Come back tomorrow. We’ll start the second set of 182 rings in the morning. Don’t hesitate to make suggestions.
Note: Hafnium is named after Copenhagen, not half of something.

Ring-A-Day: Olympic Silver Rings
It’s said that you earn a bronze and a gold. The silver medal, however, indicates that you “almost” won, or missed the gold. The bronze medal is the reward above nothing at all. For these reasons, bronze medalists, on average, appear more grateful than silver medalists.
