Very nice work mister

As a 'first project' on the mini-lathe, I made replacement handles for the cross-slide and compound. This was really an easy upgrade with easy to find materials, and was a great learning experience and fun place to start.

Link to the Chuck? Price? Thanks

Nice chuck mister.

This four jaw chuck bolted right on to the mounting plate of my Vevor 7x12 lathe. 80 mm with 3 mounting bolts, so easy breezy! It looks like larger chucks (for bigger lathes) only come with 4 bolt pattern, so your milage may vary. $80 when I bought it): www.amazon.com/dp/B07S8WQT72?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_asin_title Thanks for watching and please subscribe (it really helps the channel)!

Very nice work. Nice tool post. Good video

This quick change tool post is an 'OXA' which is good for smaller lathes (up to 8" swing). If you have a bigger lathe (up to 12") probably want an 'AXA' I got this on Amazon (know I said EBay early in the video) for about $130 but there are numerous vendors selling the same thing...

Amazing! I see a dark mountain range against a light sky. Was raised with that skyline as a kid and it holds a special place in my heart.

Amazing!!! That turned out beautifully!

Check out 'New Mexico Blue' on Facebook. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088353356624 He's the guide that took us on the rock hunting trip and is an awesome person.

Ordered the exact same lathe. I got it last week. After cleaning all the grease off of it I centered everything and put it to work. I did replace the tool post with a quick change tool post. Everything work very well.

Never saw someone do rock ring, great idea. Can't believe just sandpaper to get it down. As usual, made a nice ring!

New to metal lathes, and will be using this for facing and boring wood to fit on titanium/tungsten inlay ring cores so my needs may be different than other people looking for a metal lathe. Will be making some mods to the lathe (quick change tool post, 4 jaw chuck) that will make it more useful for me, but pretty happy so far...

Looks amazing!!

I've not made mesquite rings (yet), but I've harvested a good bit of mesquite from my pasture and turned it. I really like mesquite. I think it's quite beautiful. Nice ring-making tutorial! Thanks!

Great set, nice grain

For other Custom Rings made from heritage and legacy woods, check out www.HillCountryRings. I love making rings from unique and historical wood, and would love to make one for you!

Another nice ring, spalted looks great! What do you have connected to the rotisserie? The white dowel. I like that universal mandrel, looks like you like using it based on last few rings. Keep the videos coming...

You installed the o ring in the wrong place. It goes in the wide channel at the base of the cap, not right up against the base

Amazing

That turned out loverly man! I very nearly got my hands on a piece of timber from the British flag ship "The Victory" many years ago, but it fell through.

I love how simple your videos are, Paul. You don't try to do things that are flashy and you deliver good, honest content. You should be proud to do that in a creative desert like this place.

Another nice ring, thanks for sharing. Since it was such hard wood, didn't need to stabilize it? Also, what are you using to buff the inside core itself?

Unfortunately, craftsmanship has become forgotten with the developing technology.

Thank you, it's very nice. 🤌🤌

Great video thank you 😊

Good job, very beautiful result. 👍

Nice work and an educational video.

Great video, fantastic work on the ring!!

Hello Paul, I’m just wondering if you can help a fellow ring turner. During the Covid period I got into spinning rings as a new hobby. I have kept improving and just do them for fun so far. My neighbor is involved in a fundraiser to sponsor one of the honor flights to get our aging veterans to Washington to tour the monument. I told him I would donate a couple rings for them to sell at their auction. I’m looking to purchase some deck wood from one of the battleships . Enough for a couple rings. Are you able to sell me some wood or steer me to somewhere to find the wood. Thanks , Jeff

How did you engrave it?

Just get ride of that end on the tail stock and buy another I made this modification and while using it one day it just kept spinning nothing happening turning out the plastic detached from the metal since it's just molded on and no longer worked ended up just cutting all the plastic off and attaching a clamp to the metal will be making a better improvement soon

Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy seen your video.

Yay I want one!

After three years, did the SS cable stand up? Any rust?

Can I ask where you got your mandrel from? The ones I saw on Amazon looked to be cheaply made. Or I might be looking at the wrong tool. Thanks

Hi from France Nice job !

Hi just curious as to what that object is head stock.

Where do you get your ring cores?

I was trying to respond to your message on Etsy about the size 11 ring I ordered. I already measured it with a plastic ring sizer so yes please move forward with the size 11 thank you.

What is the formula for that resin you used to soak the burl in?

Nice job. Do you use CA as a finish? No accelerator?

I really like your approach and video's. Would you tell me what tool you use to hold comfort ring cores like this one?

Hello, I've noticed that you've used several brands of 2 part epoxies for your rings. What is your favorite brand for overall strength and ease of use? BTW, I really like your videos; great job. Also, I live in Waxahachie.

where did you find the dead head hardware? I cannot find it anywhere!

There does exist readymade solutions for holding glasses too like you said, but all these options that are worth a damn are expensive. You need one that can handle the curvature on your spesific model mask, and to top it off you need to go get lenses inserted at the optician. Even though it is a simple 2 min job and basic lenses are cheap I bet a lot of stores would make you pay extra for the non-standard service. Services and fees is how they make all their money after all, not glasses (except luxury frames). It could add up in cost quite a bit. Your hack uses 50 cents in materials and a standard pair that they literally give you free as bonus deals a lot of the time :)

Smart! The only thing I think I would have done different is use nanotape/geckotape for mounting rather than superglue (is that what it is on video?). Plenty grip, but no chemical adhesive or hardening that might damage or makenthe seal less flexible. Also easily reversible without marks. I would also put some thin strips of foam as spacers by the nose bridge to give them support up to your ideal height. A tiny bit of nanotape there too probably. The last thing you want is the glasses to shift slightly and needing take of the whole mask to adjust it. Having 2 points of support would make it far more stable. Just my 2 cents. Inwill totally steal your idea now haha :P

That is a tiny table saw!

Salve, posso chiederle che tipo di resina per legno usa nel video? Grazie
