Follow these steps to make your ring:

1: Cut a length of wire. I cut mine to approximately 12cm long (4.7 inches).

2: Flatten the wire  on the steel block using the hammer.

3: File the ends of the wire so that they are not sharp.

4: Bend the wire around the mandrel at the size you want it.

5: Wrap the rest of the wire around to give your ring a layered effect.

6: You can leave your ring as it is here. Or you can follow the next steps to add a coil decoration to it.

7: Using the round nose pliers, create a coil on one end of the wire.

8: Repeat for the other end of the wire.

9: Twist each coil out to the side so they align with the center of the ring.

10: Once both coils have been twisted outwards your ring is finished!
