Making Damascus Steel And Anodised Titanium Ring For My Mate

[@jordanlmartell]

Between the totally rockin’ music and the amazing wizardry, this was one of your best videos! Missed you man! I thought maybe you got a regular job.

[@workshybum]

Late to the party on this one, but couldn’t let that Harry Potter montage go by without proverbially doffing my (wizards?) hat. Well played.

[@dubamakersworkshop2049]

OH MY GOSH That was epic!!! 😂 What a great finished product 👌🏼

[@theguitarpicker]

Good to see you're back!

[@llewtheelder]

Yeah that just might have been the most awesome 30 seconds in yt history. The rings not bad either lol. Nice work all round my man!👍

[@stoneforgestudios1810]

Oh, FYI, I ALSO find it super satisfying putting rings in the ultrasonic and seeing all the dirt float off! Haha..

[@wck2318]

Yet another great video, got to say, your off your trolley mate, very entertaining. Great to see you back.

[@stoneforgestudios1810]

Dude! I’m loving your new shop.. you are doing amazing things.. love the ring!!

[@ApollosRings]

Good stuff brotha! Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to see more! 👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@sangrealrings]

Thanks for the shoutout bro 👊🏻

[@MrPualC]

Well, I think that'll have to be your new intro from now on 🤣 love it. It was great seeing you at MAKERSCENTRAL 👍

Hi, I have been working with stainless Damascus for a few yrs now, I just thought you might like to know ferric chloride is not meant to be used on stainless. You will get a better result in 10 minutes by using hydrochloric acid, rather than an hour using ferric chloride.

[@barrycook4690]

Another very entertaining video as always 😁👍👍

[@captnsking9079]

I learned from Alec Steele that if you put Damascus in instant coffee water that it helps bring out the darker metal. Might be worth a try but great video!

[@jodystevens8554]

Alec used coffee on nickel and carbon steel Damascus. Coffee cannot stain "stainless steel"

[@matthewanderson2464]

Yeah, I've tried that on stainless Damascus and it won't stain, go figure... To get some color into it I heat it up and quench it in vegetable oil. For lots of color (make it dark) I do the same but with used motor oil. After quenching I go over it lightly with fine sandpaper (at least 1000 grit, 2500+is better, keeps it shiny) just to brighten up the highlights and give it contrast.

[@jpwoodwork]

AWESOME DAN! I need to come and make a ring with ya soon

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Cool stuff!

[@robevans8555]

Man that was so cool

I am in the process of purchasing your course. I think you are a great teacher and a really down-to-earth guy. I have a quick question about sizing rings. I noticed that you have a lot of rings on your Esty site, and they are very beautiful by the way. Are those rings ones that you had made for yourself and display, or do you make a standard size that most people wear? I was wondering, do you wait to someone places an order, then take a photo, or do you make them for yourself first to take a photo. I can't wait to get started, and wanted to know to make sure that I am not putting the carriage before the horse. I figure that it is not likely you are going to have tons of orders when starting out, but at the same time you want to show what you can do too. Again thank you for your time, and please keep up the great work.

[@StokedForTravel]

Hahahaha Jimmy you legend! Epic edit bro 🤙

[@ahmadmughal4725]

Hey, can you please tell me what kind of acid you use to crystalize the titanium ?

[@jbobweis]

How well does the anodizing wear? Will it eventually just wear off back to "metal" color after a while or is it a more permanent coloring?

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Hey, yeah the anodising will wear off eventually (unfortunately!)

[@jbobweis]

@@ZebranoWoodCraft Bummer. Definitely worth a shot to play with and see how long it lasts. Thanks for the reply, and keep up the great work!

[@edwinoutlaw1706]

Maybe put your anode and cathode inside the ring next time for anodizing ?

[@leefinster]

Can you send me the voltage chart from this video and how to link the battery bank? Not asking for any trade secrets but as a new to ring making person I have soon many ideas and no idea hoe to create some of them

[@leefinster]

Just to be fair, I'll send my latest creation

[@finneh6145]

I realize this video is 7 months old, so I don't know if you still care, but since you don't seem to have done much anodizing since then, I thought I still write a comment. The dama-steel shouldn't interfere with the anodizing at all. The only thing that might happen is that your steel corrodes a bit. The most likely explanation to why your anodizing didn't work is that you simply acidentally reversed the polarity of your circuit. Anodizing only works one way. If that wasn't the issue, I've got no idea, unless your batteries were almost empty

[@arjanlangerak3842]

Are you happy whit your ring engraver ?

[@drewsenitz7766]

What type of titanium do you use?

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

I use either grade 5 or 2 titanium and get my mate Dan from Sangreal Rings to do the machining for me

[@josefminoli1435]
