Snip, snip snip...

After making several coils using the drill/bolt.  It is time to cut them apart.  The new bolt cutters are so much stronger than the previous wire cutters, it makes a huge difference.

A snipping I will go... cut, cut, cut, snip, snip, snip.  Over and over again.  Yes it is tedious, yes it takes a while, yes your hand hurts after a while, but I am determined to make my own rings. 

After several coils and much cutting, here is what I have:


These are all your basic cut ring, so the ends are off set slightly.  You can see in this picture how one end of the ring is set slightly higher than the other.


It might seem crazy but after all the work which has been done to get to this point, the rings are still not quite to the point where you can use them, but we are close!
