daws is easily distracted: Bent Nail Ring
http://daws-is-easily-distracted.blogspot.com/2010/02/bent-nail-ring.html
Daws is easily distracted. Oh look, a shiny thing! Tuesday, February 23, 2010. I haven't done much of late mainly due to it being summer. For me, winter is the time to do crafty things. I recently mended a bracelet for a friend's wife and that got me thinking about making some more items. I had an idea to make a ring from a bent nail, a quick search on the interweb found that various people make them so it's hardly original. Picasso apparently once said "all art is theft" so here's my stolen goods.

daws is easily distracted: How to...

Daws is easily distracted. Oh look, a shiny thing! Monday, May 4, 2009. I thought I'd post some pics of how I made the bracelet in the previous entry. This started off as Ø0.9mm Sterling Silver round wire which I wound around a 6mm mandrel (Knitting needles make great mandrels and you can get them very cheaply from charity shops). The coil of wire is wrapped in tape and using a jeweller's saw then I start to cut through the coil to make rings. Very cool. what's your next project? May 5, 2009 at 2:24 PM.

Daws is easily distracted. Oh look, a shiny thing! Thursday, July 9, 2009. Ever since I started working with silver I've been meaning to buy a Thor rawhide/copper faced hammer but been put off by the price. today I saw one in the shop and thought what the hell. I'm a self confessed tool junkie and Thor make the best soft faced mallets in the world. Quality tools will last a lifetime and even though it was an expensive hammer, I don't think I'll have to buy another one. July 9, 2009 at 2:53 AM.

Daws is easily distracted. Oh look, a shiny thing! Wednesday, May 6, 2009. One Ring to. that's all I know, I haven't seen the movie! My soldering could be better, I've not had a lot of practice at it so I'm making some rings to improve my skills with the torch. I wanted to say thank you to a friend for helping me move house and for braving a particular Swedish furniture store with me last holiday weekend (1 hour of queuing, thank god they have hot-dogs! So I made this. May 8, 2009 at 4:57 AM.

Daws is easily distracted. Oh look, a shiny thing! Sunday, July 26, 2009. This is where I make stuff. sometimes it's not scrap! Cheapy drop leaf table, my semi-portable home-built jeweller's workbench and tons of sunlight. Thursday, July 9, 2009. Ever since I started working with silver I've been meaning to buy a Thor rawhide/copper faced hammer but been put off by the price. today I saw one in the shop and thought what the hell.

I'm working on a how-to post but I haven't taken all of the photos yet so in the meantime, here's another ring. 5mm Half round polished then filed. Nikki @ My Black Cardigan. Love the cut outs on the ring. Very fancy-schmancy! June 16, 2009 at 11:54 PM. Looks great Daws - very professional. I love the photo with the reflection of metal below.

Daws is easily distracted. Oh look, a shiny thing! Monday, May 11, 2009. I found some concept drawings in an old sketchbook and thought they should live here. Not sure about some of the ideas but hey, that's what sketches are for. Great idea posting your sketches here, Daws. Easy to refer to for ideas I guess. June 30, 2009 at 4:51 AM.
