I'm really pleased with it considering I've had no classes and have no studio set up, just a cookery blow torch on my kitchen hob! Charlie.

I have to make one for the boyfriend first, then I'm going to work on something else! I've got instructions for a ring with eight little balls set round it that looks fun, and for a Russian wedding band with the three interlocking bands, they're next! When I'm confident I'm going to attempt an elvish ring with a leaf and twigs twirled round it. Again, it's out the book I've got, but it's so cool! I'm also working on a huge chain maille bracelet for the boyfriend, but that's taking a fair bit of time.

That is an amazing ring for a first! Wow! OK, and I have to ask... the English/American barrier is at work here...

You made it on a WHAT? I just repeated "Cookery blow torch on my kitchen hob" to my husband, and he said "Who?". Apparently, that series of words has a meaning with which we are utterly unfamiliar. Can you describe the thing/arrangement of which you speak? I'm really curious now.

Well, the blow torch is a tiny one intended to make things like crème brulees and baked Alaska. The hob is the four hot plates that heat up to put saucepans and things on. It's heatproof when cold so I put my firebrick on that to save damaging the work surface! I've a photo I took somewhere. Let me find it...

Hey look, you can even see the frying pan and tongs I used to make a fry up for breakfast!

OH! Now it makes perfect sense! And a hob seems to be what we would call a range. I don't know why we call it a range and it doesn't make any sense now that I think about it.

I thought a "range" was an oven and a stove was that cooktop with the burners? Maybe it's regional...

For me, it's all stove, but the burners are "eyes".

I think it may be... here, a "stove" encompasses an oven and a range. Something can be "on the stove" or "in the stove" but not "in the range" or "on the oven".
