I'm not sure they've done much in the lab lately, I think this is an old project.

When I made my eightrings I didn't use any blu tack, I just taped them together with electrical tape and it worked really well, they've taken a beating and not moved at all.

The main issue I have is the size of the rings, they are 35mm wide and it makes them tricky to manipulate. The ones I'm making will be much thinner, and made from glorious acrylic :D

Mine are the same, I don't really have any problems that practise wont fix I don't think. But I guess some thinner ones would be nice, like Moon's wooden ones.

This was a couple of days after I started, haven't really touched them since. Oh well, another future project.

My prototypes are arriving at the end of this week!

If they turn out okay then a whole stack of them will be available for sale in about 3 weeks.
