    For squaring ring stock I use an upright belt sander first and then
    bend the ends around to fit together. I then pass a number 2-0 saw
    blade between the ends, cutting the opening and giving a true fit. I
    then solder the ends together.  Thne true the ring on a mandrel with a leather hammer.
