Step 2Rough shape rings
1. Get out yer trusty compass and draw two circles. The outer circle should have a radius of 4 5/8" and the inner circle should have a radius of 3 7/16".
2. Use a jigsaw to cut out the rings. For the inner circle I first drilled a few holes so I had a place to start the jigsaw.
3. Since I do not own a router I used a Metabo sander by hand to do all of the shaping. First, clamp your rings to a bench and work with a rough stone on a 45-degree angle to create a beveled edge on the outside and inside of each ring. That will be the basis for later light sanding.
4. Continue sanding with the stone until the bevels are as close to a circle as you can get. I found the best way to work them was to clamp them horizontally, hanging off the edge of the bench.
