Here is a tip for creating a splitshank ring from @mossrockmetals - “There are so many ways to make a triple split shank ring, but so far my favorite is using a honey comb soldering board that comes with pins to hold my work down (I purchased mine from @riogrande and last time I purchased one they came with metal pins rather than the ceramic ones in this video).

I start by cutting three pieces of square wire. I line them up and mark the center of all three with a sharpie, including where I want the wire to split and then I use my pliers to bend them to shape. After they are the shape I want, I line up all three on my honeycomb board and use the pins to hold them in place while I solder.” Thank you so much for letting me share!! This type of ring shank can be a struggle when you are trying to figure it out on your own.
