Interesting way to make them Billy. Very uniform. Nicely done.

Nice what gauge is that wire you use? Do you use them like that or do you cut them?

Iam sure these ring shanks can be used as is or cut to accommodate different sizes .do you shape them on a ring mandrel? o

Haven't quite figured out how to get an exact size. But doesn't really matter if your making for stock, but for an order I have had to re size.
