• Mark the width of tube you need using dividers.
• Saw pierce off using a twisted blade(a little over the width you need) and file flat on other side.
• Using dividers and the hole as a guide, draw a larger circle and use a matt trimmerorand ring stick to achieve your required ring size.
• Once you have this you can mark out the depth you require and remove excess wax with saw and then trimmer.
