... earlier today. She said that she’s given Tom a ring that belonged to her grandmother. Tom was so worried that he couldn’t afford a nice ring for Lee he was going to sell his pickup truck.” Caroline said softly her head resting on Duke’s shoulder.

“If he couldn’t afford a ring for Lee, then he likely doesn’t have one for himself either does he?” Duke asked, his voice sounding thoughtful.

“I don’t suppose he does.” Caroline admitted a little sadly perhaps.

They continued to swing lazily on the old glider as Duke’s mind worked on that information. The thought that his daughter... and his son... were to wed the next afternoon had him feeling more emotion than he could ever remember. He wanted them to be happy in every way. If his son had no wedding band, he would fix that. Duke contemplated giving his own ring to Tom, but he quickly discounted that idea as his ring meant too much to part with. He squeezed Caroline a little tighter at the thought.

“I have an idea.” Duke finally spoke, he stopped the glider’s motion.

“What?” Caroline asked, raising her head up from Duke’s shoulder and turning to look him in the face.

“What if I make a ring for him?” Duke asked, the idea he had growing into a plan.

Duke turned the light on in his workshop and went to his bench to begin gathering tools he would need to make a ring from a coin. He was just going through some files and rasps when Caroline opened the door and came in holding the old gold coin. She handed him the coin and pulled up the stool to sit and watch her husband work.

Duke set the coin on the body of a steel vice that would act as an anvil. He then lit a torch and heated the coin up till it changed color from a dull yellow to almost purple. This was to soften the metal so that it would be more malleable and less likely to split or tear as he worked to bend and shape it into a ring. Before he could do any of that, however he needed to cool the metal back off so that he could handle it. With a pair of needle nosed pliers, he picked up the heated coin and dipped it into a tin cup full of water. The metal hissed for a moment then stopped.

Duke took a punch and struck it with a hammer to make an indentation for a drill bit to start. The drill, in the center of the coin only took a few moments to go all the way through. Next, he used a small round metal file to make the drilled hole larger. Duke did this with two other files, each bigger ...
