What are those pads you're using to polish?

They are micro mesh pads, however since filming this video I have just moved to 3m 1,000-1,500-2,000 and so on. Much cheaper and works just as well!

New at turning .. Thanks for explaining the collet chuck holder in the beginning. For that I subscribed !! It was extremely helpful. Question .. why might my wood ring not be the same thickness all the way around. It measures 6 mm at its thinnest and creeps up to 9 mm as I go around the ring ? Ty

You need to do a full dip in UV resin for a complete coating and then set it all in one go. Can then file/sand it down a little bit if its a bit thick. Gives an amazing finish as its a complete coat all the way around in one go 👍

Since there are a lot of comments about the wood "breaking"... Softening "any" wood is best when using a multiple of tricks. But it is always - Water or alcohol, with an added conditioner. There are many things you can add to the liquid if you are having problems. Like, "salt, bleach and baking soda". Heat, time and sometimes "pressure" are your primary variables. (Try using a "pressure cooker" to heat the veneer for a short time). "Especially" with the harder, tighter grained hardwoods. (Like "Bloodwood", Rosewood etc.)! The standard is warm-hot water with a quality "wood conditioner" added to the heated water. "Most conditioners are glycerin based". Ask/call the veneer companies and always shop around"! (There isn't a wood you cannot bend to your will). Well... "Except for maybe old, fully dry-cured, "African Ebony", also called "Ironwood"! Some "Burlwoods", like "Mappa Burl" can be problematic because of their inherent structure, which can cause, "Crumbling" but there are ways around that too! Experiment! Good Luck!

This was so helpful! I was so worried that it'd be really easy to scratch through the plating given how soft gold is and how thin the plating is. I know that y'all don't sell them yourselves, but a video testing the durability of the finish on timascus rings (like the ones sold by The Opal Dealer) would also be very helpful.
