How to make a ring from cast off copper pipe

Step 2 Cut the ring

This is actually the easiest part. Grab the pipe, and cut it to size. The best way to do this is to decide how wide you want the ring, then cut it to that width. An alternate method would be to cut a pipe to length for plumbing purposes, then find out you cut it too long. Simply cutting the excess off leaves a ready-to-go ring section! If you are lucky, your wife is not there when you curse at the realize your mistake, and you can tell her you thought this whole thing up as a way to say you love her.

I cut two rings to 1/4" width and one to 3/4" from one section to try different looks.
