I would put the ring on a firm smooth surface, I use a 1/2" thick UHMW sheet, smack the protrusions with a plastic punch to flatten them then drill out the hole if needed using a 7/64" drill bit.

so i looks like it has to be a "left outer side ring" (key 28A),  but that's another project...

I found a lug blank drawing in my files and it is at the cutter now.  It also looks like he test cut pairs the  last time but I do not remember having them on the cutting order.  They look good so I will cut more.

that's good news!  you might want to take a 'roll call'   

Al, if yours is a red apple, then I guess mine could be a blackberry.

Ted,
You told me it came out ok.... that is stunning! And one of a kind. No one has a reel like that!

Tom, you made them, I just assembled your masterpiece, but thanks for the good words

  Al, I gave it a shot and 2 thumbs up on rings with no lug cutouts. Here they are. 2nd shot is top view

   Regards, Ted

P.S. There is a ground down lug under the ring to have a solid base for the top frame post

Very clean look, I like that.
