    Hello & thanks to all that read this. I am having problems making a
    anticlastic bracelet. Picture an 'S' turn in front portion of a
    hollow bangle cuff. Basically a soft turn that goes under wristbone,
    then curve up the wrist. Seems very simple, Huh? I have cut the flat
    blank with the 'S' in it, but as I hammer the seam 'rolls' over,
    instead of continuing around on top.Am I cutting the blank wrong? Do I
    just cut a straight blank? Then how do I get the 'S' bend? The 'S'
    does graduate bigger than the tapered back 'legs' of bracelet. Any
    help will be greatly appreciated, and it is so frustrating to have
    taken 2 courses with Michael Good, and still have conceptual and
    physical problems with such simple plan! Contact me offline if you
    want. Thomas Blair islandgoldworks AT telsouth.net 843 686 6001
