Well, the die-hard but a little clueless DIYer will take the 24 carat gold
wedding ring, bang on it out in the garage until he had a nice thin gold
foil and then rig this foil onto a round metal ring, cut off the vacuum cleaner
aluminium tube and then rig this up. Now, naturally, when the better half of
this marrige, his wife, discovers this she naturally freaks, turn into a
spanish inquisiter and eventually take out that lump between your shoulders.
Thus, that's where we have the die-hard part.

Married men, don't try this at home!!!

Cheers,
Magnus - not yeat married but still alive to tell ;D
