Quote from Ron Swanson in Leslie and Ben
Ron Swanson: [aside to camera] It's not rocket science. I removed the sconce... Fired up my grandfather's torch, heated up the pieces in a cast-iron bucket. Liquefied the metal. Pour it into a mold. Obviously keep it over a low flame to achieve a nice temper. Cooled it in antifreeze. And just forged and shaped the rings. Any moron with a crucible, an acetylene torch, and a cast-iron waffle maker could have done the same. Whole thing only took me about 20 minutes. People who buy things are suckers.
