    That is very cool. And I've done similar sorts of things. If I could
    get a bench test they could see my skills, which I list on my
    resume. 

    Since it has been a couple years since I worked on platinum, I
    bought a head and shank assembly and a stone from stuller. I plan on
    taking the ring with me to interviews to show/reassure employers
    that not only can I take sheet and wire and make a
    box-catch/ring/whatever, but that I'm familiar with components die
    struck/cast in the latest metal trend, and that head/shank assembly
    and setting princess cuts isn't a foreign country to me. 

    Hopefully this will help when I can do battle again.
