Making a Wood Inlay Ring

[@giselegrenier9811]

I love all your videos, but this one has got to be one of the BEST detailed videos you've done.

[@robertcramer952]

beginning turner here, ambitions for making rings for friends and family - you are an amazing teacher, love your videos - thanks for taking the time and effort to make them for the rest of us!

[@brendancampbell6408]

Literally was looking for this video from you guys 8 hours ago, and here it is! Thanks you guys!

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Happy to help!

[@rileyhartis748]

I’m a woodworker in my spare time and I’ve made wood rings before and my friend asked if I could make them a ring just like this. I’m really glad you broke all of the steps down and made the process easy to understand.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Hey Riley, Glad you found the video helpful, if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. -Mike

[@rileyhartis748]

@@CraftSuppliesUSA is there anything I should be careful about when working with a Damascus stainless steel ring core?

[@fattoamanowoodwork3638]

Great video, thank you so much. Never seen anything like making a ring like this. Truly enjoyed it

[@CecilKMart]

Thank you for sharing your craft! I learned so much and appreciate how transparent and realistic you were with us.

[@mikehancock5638]

Great video! Just getting started in turning. This is a must do for the teenage grandkids!!! I'll be back.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@dougbornyk5060]

This video is really good, with so much information for newbies. Thanks

[@dirkvanbesien]

Very nice, step by step and understandable explenation! Greetings from Belgium.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Glad you enjoyed it! -Mike 😊

[@carsonwells1785]

Great video. Thorough explanation at every step of the operation. I may never turn a ring although I have one of those boring heads in my shop. But I have an appreciation for the care and craftsmanship required for this craft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill and time.

[@FRANKMANGIAPANE]

If you are not making rings, what other applications are you using your boring head for, if I may ask? Thanks.

[@terryeason4319]

You have a great presentation. You made me want to make some

[@graemewebb7612]

Another great video! The attention to detail is fantastic.

[@netbett13]

Fantastic video, great detail very informative and interesting to watch. And a beautiful ring at the end.

[@hughj776]

Thanks for this great instructional video. Really appreciate you going over the details and potential problems making the ring. Outstanding camera work and detailed explanations also. Heading over to get a 1mm parting tool :). I already have the mandrel. Thanks again.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@naturesparks]

fantastic job! just amazing, great video!

[@hellboundrubber4448]

I think it was amazing you left some roughness of the Wood instead of sanding it totally smooth/flat. Being buried beneath the CA allowed for a 3D relief effect of the Wood's surface. That hit me right at the end as you were showing the finish. Cracking the ring was epic. dang

[@user-qf2hn2ti5g]

You make this look so easy!!

[@pattyphipps197]

Thank you ! Your detailed explanation along with your calm tone throughout is extremely helpful to me. You make it seem easy ! One question or favor … Is it possible to show a clip of you cutting the wood in half? You had to step off camera for that segment. Thanks again :)

[@CJMarco-nq1yf]

Very very cool!! What a great in-depth video that was so well explained every step of the way. Great job and a fantastic looking end result. Kudos to you. Cheers!

[@nphillips80]

Thanks for the video!!

[@garrydurfey9700]

Thanks so much. I ordered my first batch of supplies today but had not seen this video so I didn’t order any of this type but be assured I will.

[@jeanrobert5522]

Where did you buy youre ring

[@garrydurfey9700]

From Craft Supplies. Just not an inlay type.

[@davidsettles5706]

Very detailed. Thank you .

[@nickysabet1577]

extremely detailed.... Thanks much.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

You're very welcome!

[@CoreySchmick444]

The amount of time and energy that goes into making this is unreal, how much do you charge for one of these? I can't imagine these being easy to reproduce even if you did batch them. I get it looks better, but man, what an amount of labor to get this effect. As a side note, thank you for all your tips and recommendations! I use all your tools!

[@carolriley8472]

Excellent video!

[@paulgreen2863]

Wow. I'm just getting into wood lathe work. I think lathe is a bit to big but I'm gonna keep an eye out for a table size lathe. Thank you for the video. BTW what do the rings sell for?

[@BrockGrimes]

Honestly you want a heavy lathe, it'll be more accurate. I bought mine from an estate auction/sale.

[@brigittezanotti6012]

Beautiful !

very informative, thank you

[@luziosalles324]

Best video. Tanks. One question: Have you ever tried using self-solid PU varnish? Used a lot in automobiles. I like the result of the PU varnish and its qualities.

[@user-wu7cg8yb7c]

Great video

[@Tim.Traveler]

For a better break, make 2 small cuts into each side in the wood with a band saw that will be eventually sanded away. The break will be much cleaner.

[@imakrewitatl]

Great video, great beard 👍🏻

[@jeanrobert5522]

Where do you buy those ring thanks jean

[@abniezenster]

Very good instruction video. Q. Where to buy basic ( ceramic) rings.

[@monkeysausageclub]

You could use a laser to cut the centre out. You'd have to mill up a board to the right thickness first but you could batch out loads from one board. Co2 or Diode laser will cut that thickness of wood.

[@mikemoonman9452]

Hi Mike In your making a wood inlay ring video you show the artisan ring chick. However you have an extra piece in there holding the ring. You show the first 2 adapters facing each other and then the ring. When I use the adapters it doesn’t allow me to cut deeper because you hit the adapters. What is the extra piece that is holding your ring? Thanks, Mike

[@AchimTheEagle]

This would be sooo much easier with a metal lathe because of the cross support. ^^

[@cks4567]

Love your videos. 😃Great voice for narrating. Thanks for putting them together and sharing. My question is: I have an acrylic blank that I want to turn, then inlay in my ceramic 10mm channel core. It won’t split like wood so any suggestion to get it in 2 pieces that will go back together well, is appreciated. I have some ideas but would rather not "experiment" with a ring blank that wasn’t cheap. Thanks.

[@aventador832]

Acrylics break very cleanly. Make sure you have it in a vice right at the center point and you should have no problem breaking it.

[@cks4567]

@@aventador832 Thanks for the quick reply. Good info to know. I’ll test it out.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Yes you can! Acrylics break with a very clean seam and are able to be glued back together with an almost invisible seam. - Mike

[@HapaBindery]

Thanks for being detailed, but this was way to complicated for a much easier build. Product plugs. But for complete beginner this is a lot of good info

[@MillerMade]

what would you charge for that ring, if you were to sell it? not asking to buy it just curious the value.

[@grumpyiwegianpodcast3505]

That sure turned out nice. Your Video is about an 1 1/2 long is that actual time it took to make this ring? and what would you retail a ring like that for?

[@nevrstriptools3418]

How much do u sell those rings for and how long do they take u to make normally.

[@glideslopeza924]

My wedding ring is a titanium with an oak wood core. I noticed there is a small hole going through the wood. Is it supposed to be there?

[@VersacePage]

Are rings like this able to get wet? Maybe not completely submerged in water but would rain or hand washing damage the wood?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

If they are finished with CA, they can get wet. The thin CA wicks into the fibers of the wood and seals them so water cannot penetrate.

[@terrylucas6339]

How do you fix a blank that has released from the waste block? The blank has been cored out. Thanks

[@FRANKMANGIAPANE]

If you’re using a ca finish and stabilized wood blank , wood movement should not be an issue.

[@williamlott6631]

Great video! You mentioned opening your boring head 1/16", in reality your cut would be 2/16" or 1/8". Know how I know, I have been there & done that. One learns fast from his mistakes.

[@raystevens687]

Just wanted to share with you above EZ-WOOD I use the Negative rake tips square cutting tool on my EZ-WOOD tool. I was having my pens blowing up for some reason as soon as started using them I haven't had any of my pens blowing up any more. Hope this is info for you or 1 of the viewers watching this video.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thanks for the info!

[@BrockGrimes]

54:30 you should try rubberized ca glue, the only downside is that it's black

[@snakepit74-be5xj]

So....just thinking...if I buy an inlay ring with one side screwed on, it will cut the process with 45 min.....😂

[@aiedle007]

Ring drill bits are cheating, I realize that now. I want to be able to make such pretty rings for my loved ones. I get used to making them, maybe to sell.

[@imakrewitatl]

Which drill bits are you referring to?

[@aiedle007]

@imakrewitatl When I first wanted to try making rings, my mom found some drill heads with cutting surfaces spaced, so it cut Asian size rings. I was not aware that ring sizes are different by region before this.

[@fredpenner5667]

I’ve made tons of similar rings with pre-made bands. I will say though that if you’re not making the band you haven’t made a ring yourself.

[@Taylexwow]

So they shot it back in summer.....so?

[@Robbie-fq9zr]

An hour and a half video and you don’t have time to show us breaking the blank. Your whole point is a solid piece of wood and you miss that out.
