I had a scary moment with my wedding ring on the back deck a few weeks
ago. I was working with MDF and I knew I was wearing the expensive,
titanium wedding ring when I started. Then 6 hours later, I wasn't
married anymore! I don't have shop yet and so I work on the back
deck. I swept every dustpile carefully, I crawled underneath the deck
in the mud, and an hour later it was lost. I am still a newlywed and
my wife was none too pleased. The MDF dust acted like talc and off
slipped the ring.

The great thing is I found it 2 days later when I went out at night
with a good flashlight and searched the herb garden next to the end of
the deck. There it shone, ready to wear.

I don't do that anymore, needless to say.

Why did you not just snip or cut one section of the ring and widen it to get
it off? I can't remember why it happened, but I remember crushing my ring
one day. Used a pair of tin snips to cut the thin part, spread it and had it
off easily. It was fairly cheap (e.g. $15) to have it repaired at the
jewellers.
