    My bench has a cut out and it works for me.  It allows me to string
    a steel mandrel across the curve, supported by inset nails, pins--
    whatever works. The mandrel is easily set in place or removed. I can
    place a ring on the mandrel and then file away, even turning the ring
    as I go, lathe fashion. All the filings fall in the drawer, etc.  It
    also works great for supporting rings for setting, etc.  It's one of
    my favorite things to show in the studio solutions portion of my
    Bench Tricks and Studio Solutions workshop. 

Just a thought, Andy
