I want to know what material it is to make the little circles,it seems hard to carve on the small metal things.And the size,exactly?I want to make myself one too.it seems you use a ring and change it as the saxon ring ,is that it?
you can use green epoxy Resin to make it look more like the one in that episode.
I actually made the whole ring from scratch, it's a basic hollow signed ring structure, the diameter of the ring face is 20mm. Each of the inner circles was made from a round silver bar of according diameter, it's much easier to draw wire round than to try to saw and file round shapes from sheet. The biggest circle is 7mm, the smallest seems to be 1,3mm. I think the original Saxon design had 2x7 spheres, but I dropped two from both sides due to space issues.
Engraving on something that small is indeed a bit tricky, and I'm not very good at it in the first place - that's why the engraving work is so shoddy. I am ashamed. A little.
I didn't want to muck about with epoxy resin, it makes such a mess and quickly discolours when in prolonged contact with silver. Figured simple patina will do the trick well enough.
fantastic stuff. Just wondering, what would your price be to make one? I know somebody who I can make extremely hapy with this.
take care

It really is a rather brilliant design, the Laz Labs logo works so well in ring form. And, well, who doesn't love the mad Master!
