有一名男人的婚戒掉到了廚房的廢物處理裝置 (通常用法都是把廚餘倒進去,全碾碎後的殘渣就會被送進下水道) 中,沒想到一拿出來就變成了這個完全扭曲的樣子!
![A man brought the restorer his wedding ring: It had been dropped into a running garbage disposal.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a9525dbc6.jpg)
Reddit
拿給專家修理,他也搖搖頭說,這是他看過損壞最嚴重的其中一個!
![The damage was pretty bad. In fact, it was some of the worst the restoration artist had seen.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a9550dfd2.jpg)
Reddit
不過,說到最後,最想知道的是修復工程到底可不可行?答案是OK,過程雖然不簡單,成果卻非常驚人!
![But the question remained: Could it be fixed?](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a9561b3a8.jpg)
Reddit
首先,他必須找回戒指原本的圓環形狀。他就用了鉗子硬把戒指掰開,把中間的圓周大小調整到至少可以套到戒指心軸上!
![First he needed to reshape it. He used pliers to force the ring open until it was wide enough to fit on a ring mandrel.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a95755d4e.jpg)
Reddit
接著,套到心軸上後,就準備繼續與扭曲的戒指奮鬥下去啦!
![Then, he slid it on the mandrel to get to work.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a9598c98f.jpg)
Reddit
下一步,他拿起金匠鎚把戒指敲敲打打,弄回原形!
![Once the ring is on the mandrel, he used a goldsmith's hammer to beat the ring back into shape.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a95a60a5d.jpg)
Reddit
我們終於看得出它原本的圓環形狀了啊!(灑花~)
![Finally, the ring is round again.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a95b51424.jpg)
Reddit
當然做到這還不夠啊,戒指的刮痕與凹凸不平的表面,一定得磨平的啊!
![Then came time to refurbish the surface, which was covered in scratches and dings.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a95c8ab8e.jpg)
Reddit
這個步驟有可能會移除戒指大量寶貴的金成分,所以他就小心翼翼地專注於填補這個動作,並試圖只磨掉最輕微的刮傷!
![This step can remove a lot of gold from the ring, so he was careful to focus on filing and refurbishing only the mild scratches.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a95fd29bc.jpg)
Reddit
然後,他就用14K金與一把焊槍去填滿更深的鑿痕!
![Then, he used 14K gold and a hand torch to fill the deeper gouges.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a96341248.jpg)
Reddit
最後,總不能放任其中兩顆已經碎裂的鑽石就這樣留在上面吧!
![Finally, it was time to replace two of the crushed diamonds.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a9653c749.jpg)
Reddit
於是,他就把它們取下,準備嵌入新的鑽石!
![He popped them out of their setting to make way for new ones.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a966934ed.jpg)
Reddit
找到同一形狀大小與透徹度的鑽石,就可以放上去啦!
![Then, he set two new diamonds of the same size and clarity.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a96832280.jpg)
Reddit
最後最後一步,要把戒指磨亮啦!
![The last step is to polish the ring.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a969d41db.jpg)
Reddit
磨亮後,再來使用拋光砂輪,就大功告成了!
![Then, the buffing wheel returns the ring to its former glory.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a96bd125a.jpg)
Reddit
天啊,簡直就跟新的戒指一模一樣啊!
![It looks like a brand new ring.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a96d237d2.jpg)
Reddit
是不是超美的啊?不說,根本看不出來這只戒指經歷過這麼慘烈的事!
![Isn't it absolutely gorgeous? You could never tell it had once been so mangled.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a96f674f8.jpg)
Reddit
當然,主人拿回戒指時欣喜之情可說是溢於言表,甚至還覺得現在的戒指比掉進廢物處理裝置前的還要新呢!
![The owner of the ring was certainly pleased to have it back, and in even finer condition than before.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/55f3a970a7ea1.jpg)
