Is your substance you’re adding to the finish just CA glue?

The circuit board is sandwiched together. Just split it and peel apart virtually eliminating sanding.

Great video. What lathe are you using?

Which machine do you use please ??

Where would I find the carbide roughing tool?

I like both. CA would be harder, more brittle, UV would be softer. So dents and scratches would fallow suit. Just got some UV stuff. Im wandering how well it cures between two sheets of opaque material such as metal or very dark glass, plastic etc. Where its hard toget light into.?

Could you please answer my question?my glue turns black and makes the ring kind of dirty as it gets heated by polishing. İs it the quality of my glue or what

Oh didn't realize this video is 3 years old

Great video. Are you getting the black color in antler ring from the black glue? Im going to make one of these but want the black in it

Third mandrel, i too have a jet midi lathe, don't like the expanding mandrel(second one) do I need the extra tool to get it to fit in my headstock or is it good on its own?

video looks great! sad to report the 4 brands of CA glue i've tried all dry grey and cloudy.

Love this! I want to give it a try for sure! Thanks for the thorough instructions.

Great learning for me- I use semiprecious stones in artwork. Thank you for sharing. Will often come back to your website to learn more.

Hi. Can you link the polish that you are using? I looked up a ZAM polish and from what I found, it says it is not a wax polish so I wonder if I am hearing you wrong

Try to shorten the boring bar as much as possible to avoid flex in it when you cut. It will machine your hole you need bigger in diameter. As short as possible but also long enough to work safely.

Waar bestel je zulke ringen

Is there a solution if you do end up with air bubbles?

What glue did you use?

How long do you wait for the CA to dry until you turn it? And if you do multiple coats of CA, how long do you wait until you apply the next coat? Thanks for the video!

Holy CRAP I make pens and I am TOTALLY going to try this! I hope I never look back!! Also question - what rpm are you doing when you are applying the activator/CA?

Are tungsten rings normally machined like this? I've always wondered how they were made since I always hear that you can't machine it, but obviously what's not true.

Where did you get your bentwood? Ive been looking and cant find it anywhere

What are those pads you're using to polish?

Do you cut the waves from veneer using a laser?

Lindo qual a cola usada

What paint were you using please?

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

Are you applying drops of CA?

This would be a great alternative for CA glue when making pens too I think.

Do you have a video showing how you set up the ring with the lathe before removing excess stone? I Checked your links but idk what's holding the two sides or how you connect the step mandrel to the lathe

Wow great work! I wish you could fix my wedding ring.

What do you do with the remaining ash/opal mix?

How do you pull out the livestock end piece after your ring is complete... Seems like it might wedge itself in

Was waiting for the bass drop. Lol

Never made a ring before, but I am planning to. Thank you for making this video and giving me tips and tricks to do things that I didn't even think to ask about.

So cool!

That looks awesome!!! Always top quality from DreamwoodRings!

Thank you for showing how to create without expensive tools! Made my first ring and it’s not perfect but neither am I 😂 Time to practice now!

Beautiful ring! I loved your video

What kind of glue is this?

4:10 How are you able to rotate your ring while it’s engraving? I have a design idea but I’d need to be able to fully rotate my ring

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!

Aghhh! Bologna!😂

1 of 1s know what that looked like at first

Looks nice man, keep creating

Beautiful, What is the glass finish?

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.

Great guide! I now know to be careful with sandpaper and just scrape with a high quality carbide cutter. The one ring I made so far with one of your gold blanks held up great and I lost none of the gold! Very high quality blanks! Thanks!!!
