Hollow Construction Ring
I made this back whilst I was studying as our first hollow constructed piece. Whilst it is riddled with soldering gaps and is far from clean with all those marks of pliers - don't even mention the riveting!! - I am still proud of my efforts.

In my first attempt at hollow construction, I was ambitious enough to venture a suspended setting inside the rings body, a funny shape that I can't remember how I got, and hollow tapered tubing I made without filling with wax... as I had no idea that you could fill tubing with wax before shaping it.

It is one of two pieces I have treasured from the days where everything at the workbench was very new and frightening - but somehow I think I was more bold back then!
