Making stuff and things - sometimes jewelry

Trust The Force, Luke!

Or, rather, Trust The Math, Pamela!

After making Julia's first ring too small, I carefully consulted my books, measured the ring I made, measured some other rings I've made, did the math I discussed in this post, checked the books again, measured some rings again, and did the math again — I very carefully made the second ring too big.

I pretty much knew I was going to do it. I think I even warned my sister it might happen. But that first ring was so small, I just couldn't believe that the number I came up with could possibly be right. Turns out, after using that very same number for ring number three, that it was.

Turns out, come to think of it, that I probably didn't do any math — at all — until after that first ring turned out to be too small. Turns out that English Majors aren't always right. Who knew?

On to finishing and polishing. All three. One of them is bound to fit Julia!
