Hi Jerry and also Marilyn:

    Opening the fold on a mandrel sounds like a good idea. I'm going to
    try to solder a "boat" to the ring and hopefully pop it open in this
    way. If it works, it may be a quick way to open many pieces one after
    the other. 

    Thanks Marilyn: 

    I annealed the piece, but now I am wondering if I annealed to the
    correct temp. I couldn't tell how soft the piece was because it was
    tiny (about 3/4" long), but I am timid with the torch. 

    My problem is probably a combination of factors. Thanks very much
    and I can't wait to go the next class. 

Best
Kim Starbard,
