Heh, I just looked at it and thought, "I bet's that what I'd get if I tried to make a simple wedding band". Didn't even know sawing as such was involved!
Sawing straight strips, Heating them and treating them with acid to soften them, Putting them through a rolling mill to make them long and flat, Sawing them to shape, Filing the edges smooth, Sanding the surfaces, Soldering the two pieces together, Acid treating them again, Curving them round to make the two ends meet, Filing the join flat to make it meet exactly Soldering the join together, Filing the join smooth, Hammering the ring until it was round, Cleaning with emery paper, Polishing in a barrel polisher.
