thank you

[@justinjones3463]

You made that look extremely easy! I have purchased a mini lathe especially for this purpose. I now know that I definitely need to upgrade my cutters. Also, where did you find the mandrel you are using? I fashioned one out of nylon spacers that I cut into bushings.

[@TheBeardx16]

Hi Justin Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. The mandrel i use is a pen turner mandrel from Amazon, and I 3D printed the grey cone-shaped parts so that I could put different size rings on it. On either side are just penny washers to protect the plastic and for a nice solid surface to compress either side for a secure hold to stop the ring spinning. Good luck with your new lathe .did you go with a mini wood turning lathe or a mini machine lathe? You could make your own rings from scratch like i do now. I dont buy the blanks anymore.

[@ramonaalexander7651]

Hello the rings are beautiful can you make them without all shop equipment?

[@TheBeardx16]

Yes you can, But it will take you longer to sand and polish.

[@specialk8927]

Cute but how do you know if you have more pigment than ash when they fall off when you are applying and sanding 😮it would be a ring with more pigment and a dash of ash

[@TheBeardx16]

You mixh the pigment and ash thoroughly before applying.

[@Pastabake748]

Rich, love your work! hoping you can help. I use a drill/ dremel for filing, with sandpapers and polishes- but I’m struggling to find a bit that will hold the ring! I’m thinking maybe a stepped rubber cone? not entirely sure what to search for as so far I haven’t had any luck! Really hoping you can point me in the right direction of what I’m after is called. Thanks!

[@TheBeardx16]

Hi thanks check out freedomringz19 on TikTok. He uses a Dremel with a flex shaft and he makes tones of them mainly live. He's a decent chap and will answer any questions in the live chat. He's also on KZbin under the same name. freedomringz19 hope this helps you.

[@liambrett]

Love your work, could I just ask where you get your blank rings from and what depth they are on the inlay please

[@TheBeardx16]

Hi, Its just thick black paper

[@cbuxton64]

Lovely work. I too am a memorial jeweller. Ive not made a chanel ring yet as I don't own a lathe. My question is regarding the 03 glue. Have you tested it for discolouration/yellowing over time like some resins do. Just curious. Only just found you so I will watch the rest of your videos. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

[@TheBeardx16]

Hi welcome to my little channel I just hope I can keep you entertained. I've been ising 03 for a while now and can honestly say that I haven't seen any discolouration or yellowing. Most of the time I'm laying it on top of mica migment or opel so you probably wouldn't see a change anyway. The pens that I made last year where coated with a clear 03 finish and are just as if they where made yesterday. Hope this helps. If you order some 03 please take advantage of my discount in the description.

I'm not sure if I heard where the inlay ring blanks came from... And I don't believe I saw it in the description either... Does anyone know of a cheap source for bulk inlay rings in the US?

these where from Amazon but i make my own now from stainless bar. If you have access to a machine lathe or know of someone that will turn them for you they will be much better.
