[@ryanstiemert2651]

What's that for?

[@chrisjp7937]

I have trawled most videos I can find on bentwood rings. I have to say, that being a perfectionist, your work is second to none and gives, in my opinion, the best examples of these items. Thanks so much

[@Selandry1]

I have made hundreds of wood rings and a few videos on the subject and this is the best wood ring video I have seen! Thanks for the tips with the thick CA finish coat, stabilizing the ring with CA before shaping to prevent chipping and steel wool between coats. Great video again! Thanks for posting.

[@chillaquest]

This is such a beautiful ring! I love the color! Just ordered one and I'm so excited to see it in person! 😍

[@freakwicks6956]

Beautiful as always! I love watching your vids. Thanks for going into more detail about how you make them!

[@davidwilcox5916]

Very nice work! I've been a machinist for 25 years working with metal and have done a few rings, but have been wanting to do some wood and jewelry. Your videos got me hooked! Keep them coming! Great stuff!

[@marcosonnessa4871]

Congratulations ! I'm glad there are people like you showing how these beautiful things are made

[@redssign]

Keep doing these videos! they're really nice and relaxing to watch

[@TempestRings]

sdfaf adfasfsa I️ will, just for you!

[@christruelove9850]

I know the feeling. Not a ring person nor do I have tools to try making them. I just like watching because it's relaxing. Almost zen like.

[@PigMine6]

Opal is a mesmerizing mineral, so beautiful, These rings are incredible, so beautiful. Would love to have one

[@annnonoomous9932]

I first became intrigued by your Walnut Burl and Crushed Blue ( and Red Fire) Opal Wood Rings, in its creative, if not spiritual, process. Stunningly gifted. Your artistic distinction then framed my appreciation of the craftmanship, technical skills and materiel knowledge involved. Thank you for this shared experience.

[@WilAdams]

WOW. Your craftsmanship puts me in mind of what it might have been like back in the stone age when man first began making object from natural material. Watching you bring that ring to life was thrilling, and in the end you had produced a truly amazing work of art. Thank you for sharing your talent and skill with us..

[@nonnymous3369]

Wow! Watching you do that was breathtaking, truly a gifted craftsman, Stunning. Subscribed.

[@TheFlamingshirt]

This stuff really inspires me to go make my own rings, but i have no experience or tools. or money. i'll figure it out

[@hanauger1776]

Flaming Shirt Me though 😆😅

[@austingoralski9851]

Just so you know, pretty much everything you need to do to make a ring like this can be done with a dremel and a ring mandrel, which is like 50$ together

[@TempestRings]

yep, brings back memories

[@matttallman3972]

+Tempest Rings what is the reason for the thin coats of the CA?

[@josephcelliott]

When I started, someone cut me strips of mahogany to use for veneer, the glue I got from the dollar store, and then sanded it all by hand. It takes times, but you feel a huge sense of accomplishment when you see that shine of completion

[@thekiltedsilversmith4947]

Gorgeous! I love the way the blue pops against the wood background!

[@chrisknauss6727]

That is one of the prettiest rings I have ever seen! I love the beauty of opal.

[@tparker]

I make wooden rings too. I love your technique. This one is stunning. I'm guessing the wire is for reinforcement purposes. I never thought of that. I really like the extra touch of the blue inner layer. Subscribed!

[@poonstomper69]

Where did the wire go tho... I thought the ca melted it ?

New subscriber; best video I've watched in a long time.

[@ladymacmillan]

I never realise how much work went into making wood rings. Wow. Thank you

[@michaelmiller6574]

I've just found your videos today. They have a very calming effect. Thank you for sharing such fine craftsmanship!

[@Pony_Stang]

Do you ever get angry when somebody with so much talent doesn’t have that many subscribers and you’re angry about it cause they deserve more? Cause that’s what I’m feeling right now.

[@cjk7269]

Pony Stang Absolutely! Great post!! 💕

[@terrydearing7480]

I never tried to make a wooden ring wish I had, only used silver and gold, boring.

[@Vineleafstudio]

I have the same problem but hope that I get there in time

[@drumintercourse]

You mentioned that "this wood is really great at absorbing CA". Have you come across and woods/material that doesn't take the glue well?

[@John-yt5zr]

True craftsmanship, beautiful ring.

[@bluxero]

The colors are really stunning together. Great work!

[@KaylaaMariee48]

Do these types of rings actually sell? I love them and could totally get into making them

[@jacobgillespie4758]

When you use these epoxy cores, do you make those yourself or do you buy them?

[@megalenz3262]

OH MY GOD!! It is so fine to see a genius artisan at work!! You teach me!!

[@debstuart544]

Absolutely beautiful, the inside liner & time saving tips . Wish I had your machinery setup, I was doing all by hand power. Still learning, Thank you

[@10kilobytes]

I found your YT thru Imgur. That is one really nice ring!

[@DJSabo]

I've been watching dozens of veneer ring videos and one thing no one ever mentions is how they avoid getting their fingers stuck together with all that CA. Or do you keep a bucket of acetone handy? I'd really like to know! BTW, this is one of the most eye catching designs I've seen. Beautiful work! Got my subscription.

[@TempestRings]

DJ Sabo when I first started my fingers would get glue on them all the time, but now it almost never happens, it is just practice and knowing what you’re doing.

[@grendelum]

DJ Sabo - like Tempest said its practice... I put magnets in my speedcubes (modern Rubik's Cubes) as it enhances the mechanical action, but this involves CA glue and 4mm magnets in a confined space, my first attempt was successful but not pretty. The more I did it, the more I learned how the magnets and glue behave, early mistakes learned from (some comically tragic chain reactions can occur with tiny magnets), it *_does_* get easier... not because the task is simpler but rather you level up and get that *_+1 Crafting Skill_* bonus...

[@DJSabo]

orion khan lol thanks for the leveling up analogy. I am finding it a little easier with each one I do. I bought a bottle of acetone just in case, but haven't even needed to open it yet. Now, if I could just level up my creativity skill to attempt some of these more intricate rings...

[@timbirch4999]

DJ Sabo it may help you to get a little Vaseline and wipe it all over your hands (like you were washing them under a tap - that action). It absorbs into the top layer of skin, so stuff sticks less, but there isn't a load of residue actually ON the surface, getting all over the piece you're making. I was told that tip years ago by a painter and decorator, to help with clean-up after painting, but I've found it's good for gluing work as well.

[@constpegasus]

Is it healthy to wear this ring when you are outside and sweating? Seems that the glue would get in the skin.

[@peacockjewellersstudioands5937]

Great video! Been wanting to learn this technique for a long time. Great instructions. Thanks for sharing.

[@johncermak1961]

Killer ring... love the opal with the wood. It so nice to see fine Jewelry that is made from different exotic materials!

[@origamikira]

i would love to see you making the lord of the rings one ring, but instead of the one in the movie, use gold and green luminescent powder (LIT, worlds brightest paint) .... use the powder in the shape of the writing on the ring" one ring to rule them all....the powder will charge from light and heat of the hand and will glow brightly...

[@AshBlat]

What exactly did you use on the inside of this ring? I know you said epoxy but what is it specifically I’ve tried to find some but epoxy just brings up so much haha thanks man :)

[@briancv83]

Ash Blat looks like an epoxy resin pen blank that has been sliced into a thin strip

[@DecaziCustomRings]

its celluloid ( guitar plectrum )

[@kriskelm4349]

@@DecaziCustomRings Any idea where to get this stuff? I've looked around, but haven't found a reliable source.

[@orangapahikaranl6347]

www.rothkoandfrost.com/materials-c25/sheets-c26/celluloid-t46 Here you go orderd a couple times from them

[@tmsrobabbott]

I have the same question

[@loue6563]

I have never seen one done this way. Love it!

[@meridithellen]

This is so beautiful, it looks like a river through the woods. I've never seen anything like it before, I would love to have a ring like this.

[@clackersclarke4450]

What exactly is the the product used on the inside of the ring? I have been trying to find something similar, but can not. Nice work subbed.

[@ShannonRozzell-xc9ep]

cyanoacrylate adhesive

[@adamdagosto570]

Hi. Couple questions. (1) If you are shooting for a size 7 ring or size 12 ring, how do you start the process to be close to the correct size? Do you just use a socket that is reasonably close but slightly undersized? (2) can you provide a link to the blue enamel, the SS wire or tell me what gauge you use and finally, the light blue epoxy strip that becomes the inner face of the ring? GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@metalgirl]

I have been making jewelry for a longgggg time and still have trouble getting the exact ring size unless I can fit the person many times... I wish he would answer this question too.

[@metalgirl]

It would be nice if he would expand on the blue enamel...maybe it's just blue enamel paint...? The ss wire is 24 gauge.

[@metalgirl]

Ring mandrels are stupid in my opinion because they are tapered...I have 3 ( a stepped one too)and I still prefer to fit the person's finger... I think I am going to just make some ring formers out of copper sheet...that way I can just grab the former and know it's the correct size. Maybe there are sockets that are just the correct diameter as rings...I don't know. I did see another video that's entitled "A ring for my mom"...and 30 seconds into the video is shows some pre-sized formers...perhaps they are sockets...I can't tell from the video.

[@timsmith2747]

Great to see people making things with their hands, very creative and beautiful, well done sir!

[@TheFloatingflower]

Oh how beautiful: Walnut and blue opal! Wow!

[@EricFalch]

What's the "CA" you coat the ring with?

[@spikester1968]

It's Cyanoacrylate. Available at most hobby shops or online.

[@handcraftprojects3508]

Cyanoacrylate (CA) "Super Glue"

[@greggriggs3913]

CA is a form of Crazy Glue.

[@kingswayhongkong]

Thanks for asking, I had no idea what CA was.

[@SuperGlueFingers]

With the amount of Cyanoacrylate used in your rings, won't they become very easily damage if accidentally exposed to things like acetone?

[@kliersheed]

well whoever takes a shower and makes their fingernails afterwards while wearing their ring , doesent deserve it . there is always some reaction with whatever , just dont expose it to anything and you are fine lol .

[@martinj9268]

Kliersheed you literally described like every women. Basically what you're saying is pay a bunch of money for a handmade ring and just toss it into a nice little box... Or just buy a ring that won't fall apart when you get rubbi g alcohol on it

[@emrefifty5281]

Martin J if you are so upset about it spray it with some high gloss finish goddamnit

[@Joeweezy]

the salt is real lol

[@GreanePin]

whoa, dicknose... you really showed me. What does 2018 have anything to do with being clever or not? I feel like you are projecting your insecurities about being unoriginal (since you use the same dicknose insult over and over). Stay salty friend, It isn't hard to see through your shallow insults.

[@wentrej]

Lovely colours that go well together. Gorgeous

[@metalgirl]

Soooo pretty!!! Love the colors. Very clean, great workmanship!!!

[@onebraincell5282]

Where do u get your opal?

[@TempestRings]

Regal Gaming search for Sanwa opal

[@onebraincell5282]

Tempest Rings I see they are unmarked, how much does it usually cost you for crushed opal?

[@petrsladek9156]

just ruind my illusions man :D all the time i thought you were using a natural blue opal.. damn it :D

[@1999colebug]

I tried using the oven to heat it. Accidentally set it to 425 instead of 200. imgur.com/4VbdjZn

[@iamfcon]

You could've used the charred wood chips as an inlay maybe, lol

[@jeffnthai]

Just ran across your ring making videos and fell in love. I think I am going to start doing this as a hobby. I will definitely be watching your videos as I see the care and detail you put into your work.

[@magic-mtg7090]

you should give away the rings to subscribers like a givaway

you should start making rings too

Amazing to watch these rings come to life.

[@crbrowes449]

Wow you are so creative. I love your rings they're so very beautiful. The crushed blue opal ring resembles a gold and Australian black opal ring. It has mostly blue and green hues and reminds me of the Caribbean Sea! Thanks for sharing!

[@SomeoneCommenting]

9:13 That's a physical safety *NO NO NO NO* ! Just imagine what will happen if your finger for any reason gets stuck....

[@petrsladek9156]

His finger would get so crushed that he wouldnt be able to do any more ring, ever... and btw I do the same thing. putting my finger into the chuck to sand the inside :D

[@Deityoftime]

Seriously. Don't know who taught this guy, and why no one hasnt slapped him for being so stupid yet. This guy is gonna lose a digit, or a limb eventually.

[@DecaziCustomRings]

pfff do you have a lathe ???? i guess not. i use it every day and i touch the jaw so many times nothing will happen it turns so fast that it just tickes you hand thats all. dont be so dramatic

[@MegaZylla]

Touching the jaws of the chuck is 1 thing, putting your finger into an opening with barely any clearance with something that can get traction (sandpaper) is completely different. If that finger ever gains traction the lathe will twist it clean off the hand and at that speed there is no way to react fast enough to pull. If lucky, it will just be the finger.

[@easterdm]

Yeah, I felt pretty ill watching that part.

[@alicezhang7834]

The opal is so pretty!! Really like this combination
