GomeowCreations thank you for this inspiring video! I am curious - is this manmade opal? All opal I have seen so far is translucent with various sparkles.

[@simonaelena5438]

** nevermind - I just saw that it is synthetic:) Can the UV resin be sealed with a top coat (like UV nail gel) in order to make the resin more shiny?

[@GomeowCreations]

I'm sure it can be used but a most people don't 😁

[@sheri4673]

@@GomeowCreations Can other stones be crushed and used in this fashion? I have lots of agate, picture jasper, (less expensive!); if I can crush a stone can I use it in this process you demonstrate here? I don't know if the glue would damage the stones or their coloring...

[@GomeowCreations]

I can do that but gold is not cheap right now. Emails me and we can work out the details [e-mail]

[@ristorinne5817]

This is how a video needs to look like. Very well made. I have made 2 rings like this. One with crushed turquoise stones and one with some other stones, don´t remember there names. I used superglue because i didn´t know about the resin at that time. Now i own a Photon printer so i know what resin is. I wish i own a small lathe like yours. I had to file my rings with hand. Good job.

[@jimconacher104]

Sweetheart, that's truly beautiful. I don't even like opal for the mohs factor and they fade. But you fixed BOTH those things. This is a beautiful ring but more, it's a great project!

[@ryandavis4448]

Ok I subbed. As a beginner ring maker I don't have fancy tools like lathes and presses, but do have the tools you use. So these vids come in handy.

[@hanamoreton6543]

Great vid, thank you! I’ve been using resin in my jewellery for a long time, but haven’t yet done inlay on a ring. You make it look so easy! Although I’m sure the lathe saved you a lot of time... I would love one! Must get me some crushed opal, it’s stunning!

[@GomeowCreations]

Well thank you very much 😊 and yeah the lathe make it got a lot faster haha

[@hanamoreton6543]

GomeowCreations I tend to made pendants with crushed pyrite, selenite, flowers and other natural items I can find foraging. That’s how I started making jewellery, but now I’m using my metal smithing skills combined and making the bezels etc., so combining the two is great fun. However, I always use super clear slow curing resin, I haven’t tried the UV stuff yet. I have a UV curing lamp that I used to use for my nails(!) do you think that would be strong enough to cure it in order to file it?

[@tealdreams]

I soo wish I could go to a studio like yours and just.. learn. I’m super impressed by your work. 🙌🏻

[@GomeowCreations]

Well thank you and I started with just a small table 😁

[@tealdreams]

@@GomeowCreations I guess most people start with a small basic table and a few tools and then it just naturally evolves. But really.. hats off to you. Please keep these projects and videos coming, it's very informative and inspiring!

[@sheri4673]

@@tealdreams If you aren't doing metal work and would like to, may I say - just jump in! I began with the bare minimum in a corner of the basement with a working window, and used a small torch similar to one used in cooking- you can make great things with minimal tools at a small table in a room with ventillation - that's the only restriction - the fumes from soldering require ventillation. Now, 6 years into it I've got a great set up that allows for more creativity and ability to work with a greater variety of materials - but I almost never started because I thought I needed a designated work area and a ton of tools (the Beaducation channel on youtube shows how to get started making great pieces with minimal tools and space). I encourage anyone who is fascinated by metal work to give this a try. Wire cutters, hammer, pliers, a small torch, and sand paper - I think thats all I had in the beginning and it was enough to keep me busy the first year. Best wishes to anyone who's thinking about taking up this craft! Thank you GomecowCreations for an excellent video!

[@tealdreams]

Sheri Lynn Thank you so very much for this comment! Perfect timing as well! My New Year’s resolution is to just “jump in”. Have a wonderful, successful, prosperous 2020 everyone!

First let me thank you for all your amazing and informative videos. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed and learned from them. If I may ask a couple of questions: 1) I'm considering purchasing a lathe and I'm curious if you have a recommendations for a mini budget lathe. 2) May I ask are there any advantages over UV Resin vs. CA?

[@annetums]

Ooh great ?s. I’m curious about this as well.

[@jerbear197]

Just buying materials to have a go at this for the first time. Questions: 1. Regarding your maths. Why multiply by 3.14? 2. What's the solution your using to clean the ring.? 3. Where can you buy the silver sheets and wire?

[@mandrakechannel6471]

On lathe with sanding metals no really need any water 😊, only if polish rasing or stones

[@GomeowCreations]

Water helps a lot when it comes to the sand paper and keeping it from clogging up along with getting a lot of dust in the air

[@micropyro7470]

Thank you! Your videos are informative and useful. I have a lot of small Welo opal chips I have been saving. What a great use for them. I hope the resin doesn't affect the opal because it is the hydrophene type of opal. I think the stuff you were using was man made?

[@MovChap]

Hey! Thank you for your videos! Could you explain me in more detail, what you did in 34:03-34:06. At first the ring is dim, and in the next frame it shines. Did you polish it before adding resin? I‘m trying to make the same ring (with amethyst) for my gf and i‘m stuck here. My ring looks really lacklustre...I’ll be very grateful for the answer!

[@GomeowCreations]

Check out this video it might help with the polishing problem kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4usYnlvfd5mjtE But you really shouldn't use amethyst, it a very hard stones so cutting it down will take you a very long time and it might not look as good you you might think in small chips so you would have to use big chunks and that would make it even harder to cut down.

[@MovChap]

Thank you very much! It's much clearer now

[@MovChap]

Tbh, when I started making the ring, I didn't even think about the fact that amethyst is a hard stone. Well, we have what we have x) I love your videos very much! Good luck with your next projects and thank you!

[@AndThenIMade]

How do you get the sandpaper to stick to the paint stick?

[@GomeowCreations]

Magic? lol but really I just used a staple lower down on the paper and made sure not to have that part contact the ring when working with it.

[@philmarchisotta]

Hello, your videos have really been helpful to me on my journey. I'm wondering if you can tell me what gauge your sheet of silver is in this video, as well as the square wire. Thanks

[@GomeowCreations]

I think I used 22g sheet and 16g square wire but I do know that the sheet metal is 0.6mm and the wire is 1.3mm 😅👍

[@philmarchisotta]

GomeowCreations Thanks so much!

[@OldDogNewTricksJoey]

Opals are best worked with low grade or fine sand paper your tool cause chunks to pull off, its a delicate stone

i wonder how durable and long lasting is this material? great video

When I make rings like this I try to pack in as much of the stone and metal as I can so it is all just held together by the resin or glue. They seem the last a long time and I have not no complaints so far. 😁

Hay cool. So I’m trying to make an Inly epoxy Resin ring how would you do that?

[@dane5547]

Nice and informing video; thanks. What lathe do you use in this video?

[@DeplorableMAGAT]

Maybe using a little crushed opal with the bigger pieces would fill in those clearer spots better.

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah that can help fill larger areas faster but you should also have some finer stuff to fill in the cracks.

[@SeanMccarvill]

i like your work

[@noahsark5279]

I didn’t see a reference to the UV light strips you use in the video. I checked out your tools list link as well and didn’t see it there. Any chance you can share that please? Sorry if it’s there and I missed it. Thanks.

[@craighaskell1585]

How long would the resin hold going through everyday activities, cleaning, hand washing, etc.? And would it be easy to repair if there was any damage overtime?

[@geraldmicallef6575]

My comment. When you have used the sheet of silver to do the ring shape, was it possible to use the sheet twice as tick,and then you use the machine,to do the gap in the middle, to save from doing an other two tin tinges ,and then soldiering on to the big one.?

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah you could do that but it would need to be about 3x the thickness of silver and cutting that down with the lathe would cut our a good amount of silver. You would then have to clean all the silver chips up and melt them down to use them again or recycle it.

Hello there ! Just wanted to ask if you have any tips to deal with bubbles when doing an inlay ring using UV resin ?? I like to keep a bit of transparent layer of resin above the materials but they almost alway get bubbles in them and when sanding down the excess i just get ugly holes filled with powder from the sanding process.
