Omega, you need to keep changing it back and forth on the mandrel while working it to keep them from getting the conical shape to them. The conical one you show can be made straight by just running it back up the mandrel with the small side going up the mandrel and hitting it with a rawhide mallet. Conical rings can easily jam on one's finger and can be a real pain to remove. Looks like you're well on your way making cool rings!!
