Ring Man Says There Is A Way To Fix Flat Rings.....

[Rosco Bookbinder]

I found this really neat ring yesterday that had the band part all smashed down. My Bro tells me to get a jewelers mandrel. I have an iron rod that was ground to a point to hammer into the ground for a tent stake or boat rope stake or what ever. That with a rubber mallet, a soft piece of wood and some "easy goes it work" I got this ring to look like it should.

It makes a nice piece for my colletion.........

...do not support it on a solid surface. I.e., hold the mandrel in your hand while you're hitting the ring with the mallet. Otherwise you increase the risk of breaking the ring!

Yeah a mandrel or similar tool works wonders.
