Wow, this damascus gives off a really stunning pattern, and the rounded profile definitely brings that out. Simply a stunning ring.

[@Uncle_Buzz]

You are a true master, young man. I love that you do all this with simple, everyday tools. Cheers! Chris.

[@AJB2K3]

If the low pieces were stained red, you would have a sweet spiderman ring.

[@finneh6145]

sounds like a good idea, just stain it red before you do the the final sanding of the raised parts, then only the low parts stay stained ;)

[@randyspence4780]

I like to have one 14 inches

[@sangrealrings]

If you could fill the etched parts with glow powder that would look amazing. Great work as always.

[@ubesaaa]

If you etch it long enough you'd be able to fill the deeper grooves with glow powder resin. Could look cool

[@AJB2K3]

That hex pattern bar is amazing looking. You need to make something from it.

[@speedinspired3347]

what an awesome vid i loved watching the whole process from start to finish from raw materials so cool thanks for the awesome content

[@liamaaronduran]

Love this ring so much

[@shreyaaas]

Hi, Before putting the ring in the acid, can you coat the internal surface of the ring with wax or some other substance which prevent itching on the internal surface of the ring... It will look absolutely stunning as you will get two different beautiful surfaces...

[@barryfields2964]

Shreyas Pai I was thanking the same thing

[@yeetyeetpotatoskeet5263]

Barry Fields you mean thinking right?

[@giggidygiggidy4884]

Yeah you can. You can coat it with nail polish which protects it and the acid won’t eat through. Most people use ferric chloride though for Damascus rather than this etchant used here.

[@justarandomstranger6467]

This footage might as well be shot by national geographic. Dustin marry me.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

JustARandomStranger I'm currently engaged, but you can fight my fiancee. Winner gets me

[@silenttraveler2710]

*AWESOMENESS*

[@jonathantorsvik5437]

loved that ring

[@Ramkard]

Definitely, one of the nicest rings you made.

[@marinakyriacou6525]

Thats so cool! It looks like a ring H.R. Giger would want.

[@remanjecarter2787]

Woo, i think this sort of thing where you go to the material manufacturer is great, so we can see everything that goes into making your rings

[@carpocraftguitarscarpentry8469]

Looks very cool. I'd definitely wear it.

[@mkbyun3334]

beautiful!!

[@nega_tori]

Great pattern, with a great treatment. Love the rounded profile. You should do that on some other rings.

[@drewdouglas4883]

Really nice

[@woodwoman9130]

Cool ring love it!🤓

[@jonlevett88]

Damn! i love this ring so much! good job dude

[@Jester-qu2cb]

This ring looks incredible like that pattern how it turned out after the etch

[@CONTROLSOLOMON]

That's fly bro

[@immortis_]

Amazing ring. I love your vids. That is a cool ring.

[@primedpig]

That was cool

[@gavnott4563]

Awesome vid so cool how they do it

[@lalremzuala6284]

[@dancingnancy9591]

[@alixwhite4054]

[@bongxmgiba8636]

Cool stuff

[@jinxc2281]

LOVE IT

[@edwinleach4013]

Very nice.

[@caiosanches8327]

Very very cool! In some way, it reminds me a crocodile leather!

[@jinksonyou]

Very nice! I would love to own this ring! Cheers from Canada

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

Awesome

[@MrZylix-6]

kinda looks like a snakes belly scales, its really neat. I find it amazing how just before you etched it in the acid it looked so mirror like, if you showed that to someone who didn't know what material it was then they'd probably say silver, the shear thought that that was actually 2 different types of steel is mind blowing. great job

[@barryforrest5320]

Epic !!!!!!

[@vegasforge753]

Awesome! Great having you guys over!

[@joeschmo7002]

I like this one

[@jeffbtvs]

My fiancee purchased my wedding band from you at my request. And dude. It is much more incredible in person. As always, well done with this ring and video. One of my favorite channels to watch.

[@bryanbishop1620]

Love the ring. I believe this one will be a big seller

[@suhaspn9526]

Looks like black Spider Man ring😍😍👌

[@mjbartholomew5317]

nothing wrong with understated elegance

[@uhru6utop544]

awesome

[@marcoaguilar4652]

Good job

[@ginyang]

I live those rings. Still thinking about buying the serpent one, I would really like to own it reflecting a special meaning for me due to his price. Keep up the great work!

[@heartbreaker7839]

Great job bro u are my idol...

[@gungunonlinefiesta2792]

ck ck ck............GOD Level......so detaillllll....amazing

[@tonymalmquist2921]

Amazing pattern! You should try doing a coffee etch to make more contrast, that would look killer!

[@MyPinkPanda]

I wish I had a lathe to make a ring! I wont enter for this reason but amazing ring as always and it was awesome to see how they make the damascus!

[@bobdavis5652]

Looks awesome would be cool to add a stone or two.

[@dougschof7733]

Just an idea for the look here, flame anodizing? Itd be pretty sweet. Also if you could find a way to get the lower grooves reflective and have the raised ridges with the matte finish

[@minuslong2822]

magnificent

[@CONTROLSOLOMON]

I would love to buy that

[@0thanh010]

Damascus Magic.

[@StormChaserEliRoberts]

I absolutely love Damascus steel and the patterns and designs it makes, especially when you then etch it with acid. I just watched this video and the first thing I thought of was the Iron Spider suit or even Iron Man's armour with the lines and curves! I doubt there is any way to pull it off but if there is, I think you could make a killer ring. Red glow powder inside this steel and do the same steps, I wonder if the glow powder would show up inside the darker, flat edges allowing this to pop? I love the look, even has a Venom type look. Either way, this was yet another awesome ring. Keep up the great work!

[@eaglecurtis]

I'm sure the way Damascus steel is made is the same as your favourite metal timascus is made

[@myhime23]

this is a really cool ring nice job pat also vegas forge looks like a very hot and rough and cool job if you can handle the work but i wont be envying those guys anytime soon lol

[@donquickoats]

3:11 At this point, a miracle occurs...

[@francescoalidi7701]

I love sooo much this ring(i love damascus in general ;P), good job both of you. By the way, i have an idea, i'm sooooooo courios to see one damascus ring with the feather pattern with the same work you do to this ring. I love your work and skill too, keep like that ;)

[@kayaldren]

This ring looks AMAZING! I would love to get my hands on one! :D size 7 please

[@oogiesmuncher]

would be cool to see you heat anodize it.. Not sure if the etched/sanded steel would look any different after the anodizing

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Hey man I just wanted to let you know that you and your amazing work inspired me, so I actually spent about 8 hours yesterday making a steel ring, with dinosaur bone inlay, probably my favourite thing I've ever made.

[@alysonshorthouse2641]

Pure Slow Motion post a photo / video! I need to see that!

[@pureslowmotion2918]

I just made the video I'll post it now

[@pureslowmotion2918]

You like it? 😊

[@alysonshorthouse2641]

Post a link please

[@pureslowmotion2918]

The third reply is the link

[@joshrosa8164]

great video on making a ring. The ring doesn't even look like a damascus ring weird.

[@jamesharvey3013]

Surely put it on your website

[@charleschrisp5661]

I’ve had mine for about a year and I absolutely love it. I’m gonna suck mine in coffee for about an hour to see if it dark as it up a little bit but other than that I’ve left alone.

[@MHMecklin]

Have you thought about doing the obsidian shape with the symphograph steel? It might give you interesting patterns in acid. You could also take the round you did here with that same steel. More less you’d be doing everything the same but in the center you could add stuff like your glow rings. That way you have another way to combine the designs with the glow. It will take longer and the process won’t be exactly the same as you did in this video but it will give you a more complex ring if that’s what you want.

[@masterofnone8381]

sweet ring. i love damascus. what would the difference be with a less round top?

[@wildwest4634]

That process making the martial is cool, didnt think that's how it's made, learn something everyday even after graduation :P

[@MHMecklin]

I was thinking, would it be possible to dip it in a solid color resins or something to fill in the trenches? That way you have a layer of color too. If you could pull it off that would be awesome ring. It would look similar to stained glass in church’s with the colors and the boarders.

[@ovas2970]

Put it on the shop. I will buy this it’s so nice

[@toxicscittles4434]

I was curious if it was possible to do a lapis lazuli and peridot mix for a ring idea

[@latiap323]

Whoop whoop

[@NicWalker627]

hmm.. you have a flathead lathe bit, think you could kind of hallow it out in the center symmetrically to make a dome cutter? :)

[@francescosilvestri8209]

What kind of steel is used? 302 and?.. great job!

[@dakotam.3829]

I like the reptilian one on your website that’s sorta similar to this but you should really think about making a couple more of these lol. I love how the layers come out on this. That being said all these rings are true pieces of art.

[@Spoteddy]

Holy crap that looks amaizing! It has some Stargate: Atlantis vibe to it. What if you did a san mai of damascus? Like 2 sides being mainly lighter metals and middle mainly darker metals? Or more than 3 layers, it could make a cool effect if its made into a ring.
