where can i find a place to get Stainless Steel to make a fairly large
ring. (about size 11, high school grad ring style...)

Any idea where i can get ahold of this? Any help would be appreciated.

How about using a SS Hex Nut? Availble from most bolt supply houses or
marine dealers



And how would you propose holding a hex nut (assuming he finds one with the
right dimensions to machine his ring) in a lathe?

Furthermore, where would he go to buy just one hex nut with the right
dimensions, that would cost him less, than say 6" of 303 stainless rod?

BTW, a size 11 requires an inside diameter of approximately 20.6 mm (.81")

Let me know when you find the nut, will ya.
