Ring from Scrap... Part II

This morning I welded some parts together.  

The silver band is assembled and sized.  Since I don't have ring mandrel (yet), I turned my own in brass on my metal lathe.  It's good enough for now. ;-) 

I welded two silver sides to the side of the band and two brass sides to form the ends of the "stone" bezel.

There is some "filling" to do to refine the bezel, it also needs to be blended into the band.

I also need to further refine the shape of the band.  For comfort, the back of the band should be a bit narrower from the front.
