Default Silver ring I made

For my huntin' buddy Echostar61 (Terri). She had some extra silver soins, & wanted a ring made from one. I started with a quarter for the ring, then soldered on the merc dime. If you look at the next to last pic, you can still see some of the lettering inside the ring.

Sorry for the poor pics, blurry close-ups have become my trademark


Smitty

This was my 1st attempt at it, and did it at one "setting", which is more than I should have put my back through. Next one I'll do over 2 days.
