In one important way SPAGHETTI is unlike any other ring that has come before it.

How so, you might ask?

Well, every other ring on this website shows very obvious signs of where any two bands cross over each other, since half the thickness of each band has been removed at that point.

Not so with SPAGHETTI, where each band maintains the same thickness whether it is crossing over another band or not. Of course, because hammering of the castings (to ensure that they sit down snugly next to each other on the mandrel) is necessary during assembly, small indentations where the bands cross each other were inevitable, but I have taken care to remove any such marks.

Thus there are no visual clues to aid in the assembly of this ring, which hopefully adds to the challenge (unless you go straight to the video, of course). Actually, a copy of the ring has been sent to an American guy well-known in puzzle circles for his solving skills, just so I can get his feedback. Once I have it I will update this page.

This ring was originally going to called GLENELG, after the sea-side suburb of the same name where for 4 years we used to sell at an outdoor market during the summer months. Once we recognized the appropriateness of the reference to spaghetti we had no option but to abandon GLENELG.
