Hello Wotan and Dave

- You have a good point concerning the middle section; I agree, you have to drill there first, before you can do the saw through the hole and saw the middle section open.
I didn’t see that. You are right here Wotan.



-There are also other drill holes that explain my vision: making a drill hole on the end, so you will not saw too far. All is on a very small scale!
The maker first made scratch or pencil lines, a design of the initials on the gold plate. Look at the inside corners of the M ; in the corners you can see that the corners are a round ; in the drawing, on the end of the inside vertical lines of the M, the maker has marked a point for the drilling hole, first . The drilling hole was more or less, in the middle of the line,
see here -----------------0 ( sawing line and hole) . The saw goes up and meets the drill hole in the middle .The result we see : the inside left line of the M ends a bit more to the left , the right line ends a bit to the right.

For me, both techniques are you used in this ring.
