Thank you for showing how you do things. Using the Dremel sander for the curve is something I will do.

[@johnnyruins9025]

great ring love the double bands

[@joshuaplank883]

That came out really nice. Mind sharing what you used for the finish? Ive tried a couple different epoxies but they all wear off after a few months.

[@thezuricollection1332]

I am looing for a good epoxy - have you found something yet?

[@joshuaplank883]

@@thezuricollection1332 unfortunately no.

[@imakrewitatl]

⁠​⁠@@joshuaplank883 Have you tried the CA glue finish method yet? It holds up better than epoxy in my opinion if applied thoroughly and doesn't get cloudy like epoxy/resin sometimes can. Also if you shower or wash dishes with your ring on it will tarnish almost any finish alot quicker

[@plutus205]

Beautiful. 24k gold wire would be awesome also.

Que adhesivo utiliza para pegar el alambre

[@liamc1102]

Bloody awesome, Brother. I look forward to making something similar myself very soon!

[@Bajanbikerrob]

Looks great and I like to try to make a ring like that . What are you coating the ring with? it looks like it is UV activated amd I correct about that?

Hey buddy. Do you mind me asking what type of lathe you are using?

[@aliensnail7173]

what glue do you use to hold the copper in place?

[@RandomakerYT]

im sure its CA glue (super glue)

You didn't need to solder the ends of the ring together...? seems it might come apart....

[@letterli]

GREAT!!! Wow!!

[@roamingrino]

What gauge of copper wire do you use?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome video, im a youtube ring maker also, that ring is awesome, is the clear alumi uv, if so how do you like it? Keep up the Rad work

[@hjkrings9976]

Hey yes it is Alumi UV. I like it, it's very strong. Gotta make sure it goes on as smooth as possible or there's alot of sanding to do ✌ personally I rather it over a CA finish. What do you use?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

@@hjkrings9976 I usually use ca, but i would like to try the alumi uv, ca is just easy and cheap lol and i just make rings for fun

[@hjkrings9976]

@@ACDesignsGarage Yeah give it a go you might prefer it, it's also pretty cheap! 👍👍

What is the chuck you use for the lathe to attach the ring? Im looking to get one but not finding any. How are they called

[@noahc6544]

The 4 jaw chuck? or the ring mandrel

[@aquietplace3933]

Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing. :)

Great work buddy... Excellent. How do you call that piece you add to the chuck to mount the ring.?

love the look of the copper, beautiful ring! what guage wire are you using?

[@hjkrings9976]

Thank you :) that's a 16g wire

What is the specific size and name of the piece you put on your drill press after the metal drill bit (the red one)

[@stevem268]

@@kianadams2666 looks to me like a hole saw about 1 to 1 1/2 inches

@stevem268 thank you

[@WakizashiSabre]

Hello, awesome work. May i ask about the laquer at the end? Is it some kind of UV glue? Thanks.

[@hjkrings9976]

Hey yes it is a resin that cures with UV light. There's heaps of types you can buy online

[@WakizashiSabre]

@@hjkrings9976 Thanks for the info and about the wire... Seems easy on a video, but was quite a chore when i tried th at first... Superglue did not work... wire was not smooth... oh well, good experience still. :)

[@TheloniusIcy]

wondering if I should buy this or make this myself

[@pedroelcubano1]

The piece you adjust at 2.11

[@이진성-p9f]

i have a question. what are you doing on 6:41? what's role of the light?

[@mallory6651]

He's curing the ring in a uv bath. The "hole" is duct tape.

[@이진성-p9f]

@@mallory6651 thank you. one more. why curing the ring in a uv?

[@mallory6651]

@@이진성-p9f I meant masking tape not duct tape lol my bad. A UV resin was used as a finish which specifically cures via UV. Youre not able to cure it fully with just sunlight. The finish protects the ring from the elements more than CA finish.
