I made one, but it is very hard to solder it together...
Any tips on how to get each hole open equally?
Or how to get it equal on both sides?

You can try soldering the two twists of wire together first. This way you will see if there is an equal number and if they match up before carefully hammering to open up the twist.

Thank you! Hand fabricated from round wire twisted together one right and one left soldered to each other and hammered partially flat before joining to suit ring size.

Absolutely brilliant - it' so perfectly done that I can't even fathom the time and effort that went into it!

Thanks, but I have to say it looks a lot harder than it is.

Lol well that's saying a lot because it already looks terribly difficult to me!

Very nice. At first glance it looks like one of those mass-produced braided rings from (i've said this before) somewhere hot, damp, and depressing. Quickly and without a closer look I realise that it is very different and must have been a bit of a tedious construction. Very nice job. Nice workmanship.

Thanks, I was playing around with some round wire and this is how it turned out. Probably is just like a mass produced one though except its a limited edition of 1. Lol.

Re-reading my comment, I hope I didn't sound like I was making a comparison to one of those dime-a-doen rings. The fact that it's not braided in the traditional sense or thrown together (clearly it's not) is inspiring. Sheesh. Regardless of how I seem to be digging myself in, the thought is purely complimentary by way of inspiration.

Not at all, but it really is easy to do and I always appreciate your comments. Thanks for the chuckle I just had.

I love this. It's so simple looking at first glance, but so intricate at the same time. It's a great piece.
