Texturing and Sizing at the Same TimeAs soon as the ring stretched by about 1/8 of a size I would switch sides - i.e. flip the ring around and continue hammering so as not to make it a conic section instead of a round ring. After each 1/4 size I would anneal and quench the ring to make it soft again. You can really feel the difference when hammering a soft ring versus a work-hardened one! After hammering the rings to the correct sizes, this is what they looked like:  Once the stretching was done, here is what the rings looked like together:  Finally, with the rings at the correct sizes and patterns, it was time for the final shaping.
