Ring Making
These are pictures of my first attempts at making rings out of
soft glass. Lots of people have made rings out of boro, but
soda-lime glass is a little tricker. The first few pictures show
the ring mandrels (I added these so you don't have to go find
other galleries to see the tooling, no matter what some of the
image comments say). These are followed by pics of the first
few rings I (tried to) make.
