NB: Make sure to slide progressively your aluminum wire along the wooden stick, or you may get it stuck and have a hard time removing it at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Rings are assembled according to the European “4 in 1” method. Its name comes from the fact that every ring goes through four others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n1) Place four rings through one central ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n2) Place two sets of 5 rings one above the other. Make sure that the central rings go in the same direction (upper part of the buckle is over the 2 upper rings). To link the two sets, drag a ring downwards through group A\u2019s lower-left ring and group B\u2019s upper left ring, then drag it upwards through group B\u2019s upper right ring and group A\u2019s lower right ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n3) Place two rows next to each other. Make sure that the central rings go in the same direction. To link these two rows, drag a ring downwards through row A\u2019s 1st and 2nd right rings, then drag your ring upwards through row B\u2019s 1st and 2nd left rings.
Repeat with 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> right rings from column A \/ 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> left rings from column B, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nPractical applications:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
