    When I was in college our metals instructor was an absolute genius
    when it came to competitions for us. One that I remember in
    particular was a sort of relay race. The cla ss was divided into
    teams consisting of 3 people. Each team had a piece of silver,
    jeweler's saw, ring mandrel, solder, torch etc. The object was to
    see which team could complete a ring the fastest. 

    The first person on the team had to saw out the ring, pass it to the
    second team mate who had to form it. When it was formed it was
    passed to the next team member who had to solder it. We all had a lot
    of fun. 

    Another competition was to create a piece of jewelry that had as many
    cold connections as one could work into it. We were given a weekend
    to complete this  project. I still have the one I made, and when my
    mind goes blank as to how I made, for example a universal joint, I
    can refer to my piece.
