Making a Dark Souls Wood Grain Ring out of Damascus Steel

In today's video, Patrick Adair designs a ring inspired by the Dark Wood Grain Ring from the Dark Souls video game. We made it out of damascus steel in order to get a good wood grain pattern on the ring and etched it overnight for a very deep etch to match the ring in the game.
We are selling the ring on eBay and giving 110% of the money to the National Children's Alliance Charity. Here is a link to the eBay auction: goo.gl/M1Zpur
If you aren't interested in the ring but would still like to donate a few dollars to the NCA, then you can use this link: goo.gl/XPxkYf
I'm doing a giveaway on my Instagram click here! goo.gl/Awvokb
We now have expanding ring mandrels on my supply site: goo.gl/MmBnyg
You can use the code: PREORDER10 for 10% off the entire site in honor of this!

Patrick Adair Designs how did you get the material for making dark souls wood grain ring?

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

Finley H you were already outbid so don’t worry!

[@krazykubangaming808]

I was wondering where do you get your lathes for ring making and what model are they if you could link to where you buy them i would greatly appreciate.

[@lelandjones8994]

Patrick Adair Designs what's the name of the song in your video

[@Nuschel]

Please do more videogame reference rings that would be cool

[@BrianD-YT]

Skyrim rings could be cool

[@iljavuorinen1957]

I agree. Dark Souls has a lot of rings you should do more of those.

[@Kcol1316]

Infinity Blade too

[@johnn.7806]

YES! I would end up throwing my money at the screen though..

[@jt164]

MusicPicture One skyrim

[@aniao8745]

The ring looks so badass!!!

[@jjs_arkade]

I love Patrick's attempt at humor in the beginning : )

[@libeck3112]

Amazing! Huge Dark Souls fan. Would love a ring like this

[@NoBody-kv3yd]

[@justaboy2100]

[@damonturnbull5903]

[@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035]

[@jacobbenns6090]

Patrick, great vid, I appreciate both your methods and your motivations

[@kurtdunsmore8197]

The ring sold for $690 USD. That's pretty cool, it looked like a blast to make and that's quite a donation.

[@willemeigenhuis1529]

I just love these ring making videos

[@dunmwarupreachan4567]

My favorite ring so far.

[@raatomieli4204]

Cool ring and I really like the banter in this video :D

[@anferrr]

Oh crap it looks really really good!

[@canibalcorpse1]

your rings are just out of this world... i wish i had money to buy at least one of these...

[@thedarkmaster4747]

Such a noble effort, from fans of such a brutal game that many are afriad to play. perfect theming in this by way. 👍

[@lololololo359]

日本のゲームの中の数多あるのうちの一つのアイテムをここまで再現してくれるのは本当に嬉しいよね。

[@roxannegaudet8723]

Love your videos and your amazing rings!!

[@samaguirre3283]

Wow that is a beautiful ring. My favorite you’ve made so far :-)

[@humphrey4480]

Quality entertainment right here guys

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Amazing as ever Patrick (I know that I have said I've got a cash flow problem at present but if anything else comes up or I can donate later after I put the finishing touches to my cabin/workshop I'm happy to help. ..what an amazing find your channel is! I'm seriously in love with these rings!

[@janprocner3492]

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

[@LycielleHerself]

Oh man I love it! Wanna buy it!

[@jackieneto]

Awesome!!

[@spacekitten9337]

Music choise was really good in this video

[@keeganmiller442]

agreed, Kevin Anderson - Youth is wasted on the young Remix

[@Netist_]

I definitely want to see more reproductions of fictional rings. Both this video and your green lantern meteorite ring turned out really cool.

[@evanj6383]

How about adding the Dark souls rings to your website. I would gladly buy the dark wood grain ring.

[@fAKSDFKamsdf]

Probably can't because of copyright and stuff

[@PatientPete]

Me too, me too

[@alexrea3493]

Humour, nice...

[@xxpod1562]

Great ending.

[@drummerman1206]

Make a ring out of bone. Hollow out the middle where the marrow is and do your thing to the rest. That’d be wicked cool.

[@enderz1341]

Deadpan joke delivery ^_^ priceless

[@diegogonzalez1173]

Love your vids

[@Toletanus]

It`s Wonderful!!!

[@TheSaniwaa]

You should sell this ring as part of your main collection ! It's awesome

[@cesarorrego2339]

I love these videos 👌

[@sandoteddy]

looks like a dangerous ring

[@karara5532]

Lovin the intro

[@rednecktvtrump5277]

So cool

[@FOEChico]

holy smoke that DOES look like made out of wood. Amazing work

[@LarysTomas]

7:40 the forbidden cola sip

[@JustSonicShorts]

That ending tho 😂 gawd I love this channel (no sarcasm) also more video game inspired rings please.

[@dillonferreira3529]

Your profile pic made me think I had a scratch on my screen...

[@darkmatter2771]

Your videos are so good

[@The17thcoolestname]

You should try and get a timascus steel where one of the materials is infused with glow powder so the pattern glows

[@Andrew-qm6bt]

You're a good guy!

[@JFabric500]

Looks awesome, maybe less spin in the Damascus itself so you can buff the metal. Or maybe leave it rush before the etch and toss it back on the lathe after the etch to even it out.

[@samn6498]

This is an awesome idea! the ring looks amazing and you chose a fantastic charity to donate the money too! Edit: be careful with your sarcasm, there’s some gullible people on KZbin, someone’s going to believe your ring has powers

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

Thank you! :)

[@names-mars]

Is there a visible line between gullible and blatant idiocy?

[@zkyro8552]

What's the overlap between gullible people who believe in powers, and having enough money to buy pad's rings?

[@eaglecurtis]

I like the video game ring edition you got... maybe some more... or something from an anime maybe

[@wafflegaming8555]

a cool idea.... a timascus, mokume gane, and damascus obsidian ring.....

[@gregchavez9300]

Overall I really like your craftsmanship. When I saw this video I was like no way! (cause I am a dark souls fan) This was really cool like all of your videos in my opinion. (However, I did enjoy it a little bit more because of the charity and dark souls theme).

[@shadowtigerkittenstt895]

u make so many pretty ring's i love watching u when u make ur ring's

[@DalePeyton]

YES YES YES more Game Rings

[@jtto6364]

Rock on, BRO!!! I'm bidding. Cheers:) :) :)

[@xbc12830]

Would really love a Darkmoon ring from dark souls 3 that would be awesome to see for auction

[@benglaser1345]

YAY!

[@benvarnals5580]

DUDE DOPE?!

[@patrickroberts787]

I love the dark souls ring. Here's an idea though. You can use some sort of putty maybe on the inside of the ring so it won't get etched keeping it more comfortable on the inside.

[@necrospaci4835]

Saw dark souls and ring from patrick. SHiiiiet I need to get your rings man they look so damn nice.

[@kylebracht]

I agree with others that it looks extremely sharp after etched. It will snag on your skin, hair and clothes no problem.

[@ligmabaldrich485]

You could fill the ridges with glow powder

[@anthonylima4452]

You should make some more Dark Souls rings. Havel’s, Ring of Favor & Protection, etc.

[@abdullahhashmi5323]

OMG I was thinking that u should do it, man make the four rings of Gwyn's four knights.

[@adamrbrewer1660]

This is really cool of you to do, I just wish I had money to donate or bid

[@johofilm1]

This stickout is fucking crazy in the lath

[@andrewkonyukhow5209]

if i put that ring on will i be making ninja flips like in Dark Souls 1?

[@ShadowusSnowington]

Amazing, I think the charity auction is a great idea. If I was rich I'd put a ridiculously high bid on it, lol. Good luck.

[@gamongbros12m70]

love the vids

[@jedidiahsolomon9952]

Please make more black metal rings! They look so good. Also great video

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

You didn’t hear this from me, but I heard there’s another one coming soon!

[@jedidiahsolomon9952]

Patrick Adair Designs that's great, now only if I could afford them.

[@kronos34569]

That ending! LMAO!

[@flyingfrenchbread]

i would like to have a quality ring like this....too bad my glowstone wasn't given this level of attention!!!

[@jordysund9986]

I can't tell you how happy I am that you recognize charities... Many people don't understand that it's not the money that helps or the object you buy but it's the love in a group...that's what makes shit happen is love in a group

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

You’re 100% right

[@drummerman1206]

Isn’t love in a group called an orgy?

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

drummerman1206 Lololololol 😂

[@kingoftheseptic738]

drummerman1206 yes and shit does happen.

[@18songlover]

What do you do with the shavings?

[@user-ve9wn6bk1e]

PLS DO MORE DARK SOULS RINGS

[@Benry_d]

I have an idea for another ring to go with your exotic materials. Perhaps a Jade ring?

[@RX782GP03]

surprised you didnt do the ring favor and protection

[@xabrrsam1491]

I think you've finally entirely sold me on dimascus. I need to start getting some more ideas. Anyone have any? I got a bunch left.

[@LSSJG_M5150]

Try making the behilt from berserk into a ring

[@SROnivera1]

Now we just need you to make a Havels Ring and a Ring of Favor and Protection. For Giant Dad

[@itsSHKR]

Yo Pat. Came across your channel the other day and I've been binging your videos since. Potential idea for a ring: the Sic Parvis Magna ring from the Uncharted video game series. It's Latin for "Greatness from small beginnings" I think it would be a cool ring to see and your level of quality. Anyways, keep up the good work!

[@charlesmichael7969]

I always wanted one of your rings but I can’t afford it but there gorgeous

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

charles michael *they're 😆

[@josipsmodlaka6385]

what lathe bits do you use?

[@ewancoulter3028]

What lathe do you use and what would you recommend to someone who is just starting out?

[@zeyadashraf6396]

2:52 LOL😂

[@TarisRedwing]

such a easy to make ring to bad you dont sell them yet on your site

[@redisk]

What do you use to clean your lathe?

[@bosyeldmerdash6858]

how could i get this material

[@stephboeker7835]

Is there a link to the power tools you use ? (Lathe, dremel, etc ....

[@sundays2152]

0:48 No, no, no... Adam my dude *what were you thinking??*

[@TheLvillefan]

what lathe do you use here?

[@gorisenke]

What dremel are you using? What’s it hooked up to?
