Finally, I got to bend some rings. After a few tweaks, the ring roller works like it was designed to. I am beginning to lay out the sculpture. Bending the rings to just the right diameter was difficult at first. But after the first two, it worked its self out. Remember when you took Geometry in high school and said, “When am I ever going to use this?”. Well I have used it all through my life and especially in this sculpture. No geometry, no sculpture. I had a great geometry teacher that I would like to thank if I could only remember her name.
