**In class I will be using the titanium clips from knew concepts, for supporting the cross while soldering. They will be on your supply list. You do not need to make fancy bends. Just anneal them and wrap them around your ring mandrel. Use pliers as they are hard to bend. I have a video in the FREE vids section of my website for more information on this, and also on sawing tips.
LKV templates and etching patterns are below in the download section. If you choose one of them you can etch the entire thing with the bordered outline right onto your piece and you wont need to trace it out or use a template! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PRINTER IS SET TO PRINT 100% to scan for all the template downloads! You can also roller print instead of etching.
