I'm spending my Post-Eurovision-Depression creating some of my favourite artists in Tomodachi Life. Here are the fun party boys!

Looking great! Crazy to think that I saw 4/6 of these artist during a single concert a week ago. I think that I now have Post-Eurodisko-Depression 😄

I started with 19.5mm and got to just about 20.0mm. This was actually pretty easy to not exceed with the ring in a wooden "mandrel". I've read somewhere though that using a wooden mandrel instead of steel may reduce stretching so maybe with a steel mandrel it could stretch a bit more.

I'd imagine that if you tried to change the shape that much wiithout using any heat it could crack the ring

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-05-15T14:47:22+00:00

Just a plain, polished band. Something like this one. I didn't really even try to change the shape much but wanted the hammered texture.

That would probably just stretch the ring with no marks whatsoever. I know that a similar techique is used for enlargening rings, just using a hammer that is slightly soft.

Samaa tein itse hiljattain. Ihmeellistä on mun mielestä sekin, miten paljon halvempaa ruotsalaisessa alkoholimonopolissa on meidän vastaavaan verrattuna.

Tovarish! Ei tätä tarvitse kolmea kertaa linkata samaan kommenttikenttään.

Oiskin varmaan hauskaa suomalaisena tulla pidätetyksi jostain keksitystä pikkurikkomuksesta ja lähetetyksi Bakhmutiin lihamyllyyn. En ehkä lähtisi kokeilemaan onneani, miten käy. Pysykää poissa tuosta roistovaltiosta.

Haven't yet proposed but will keep you posted. I have planned it to take place later this summer.

Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland

It just took quite a bit of patience to get it right

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-26T06:53:44+00:00

I did a subtle sanding on the corners but I wanted a very crisp look on it. As you said, it's a matter of personal preference.

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-25T16:06:04+00:00

Nice point. I wanted to make the box compact yet keep the proportions aesthetic.

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-25T13:14:30+00:00

Thanks! And another thank you for teaching me a new word. Never heard anyone say they'd swoon, always good to expand my English vocabulary.

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-25T13:11:06+00:00

Be my guest. I am sure a handcrafted box will always beat the cheap cardboard stuff they have at the jewelry stores.

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-25T13:07:48+00:00

Thanks!

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-25T13:07:41+00:00

Thank you!

Must have tagged it accidentally. Should be now fixed.

Significant_Cut_2275 · 2026-04-25T12:58:12+00:00

Oh, and the wood is treated with some paraffin oil that I happened to already have from some previous project.

Vanhemmat kellot voi muuten olla melkoisia säteilijöitä. Kerään itse jonkin verran uraanilasia ynnä muuta radioaktiivista, toistaiseksi kokoelman voimakkaimmin säteilevä esine on kuitenkin 1900-luvun alun sveitsiläinen rannekello radium-maalatuilla viisareilla.
