Ring In A Box.
This month I took timeout from my acrylic adventures, to join in our class project.
The task was to make a ring in a box, but I immediately thought of a set of loose stacking rings, which would need a container.
As usual I tried to make do with only the materials I had in hand, so I drew down some Argentium stubs into 1.3mm round wire and found a remnant of Argentium tubing which I had previously made.
You will see the five small wire rings, each with a different coloured tube set stone. They have a silver carrier for ease of handling.
The box is made from offcuts of wood and laminated with wood glue; a lesson learned from my acrylic work.
The Two cotter pins, made by drawing down D-shaped wire and doubling it up, serve, one as a pivot for the lid with the ends glued in place, and the other as a catch, held captive by a chain.
Tiny chatons, one red, one green, serve to emphasize which one to pull out.
Size of rings, N
Exterior dimensions of box, L 4.8mm W 2.8mm H 2.3mm
Hole diameter 2.5mm, height 15mm. Dennis.
