Kinetic Spinning Ring Box

The idea of a kinetic/twirling ring box is not mine; this execution of the idea is my original design. It's based on a mechanism that can be found in paper craft, paper engineering (pop up books), and origami. The idea is to convert linear motion into rotational motion. Almost all of these ring boxes I've seen use the same mechanism, which is a creased X type fold, with some ring-holder piece being affixed to the inside or convex side. Instead, to add some lifting action to the ring-holder, I affixed the ring-holder piece to the convex side of the X fold. Nothing earth shattering, but it did require more thought to the engineering of the housing since now I'd need a platform section and a hollowed out section that this ring holder could recess into.
The ones I've seen online seem overpriced for what they are (essentially a pop-up card piece of origami), I wanted to figure out a better way to do it.
I'm happy with the way it came out; it's slim, low profile, there are no visible mechanisms or hinges, it moves smoothly and reliably.

Very clever use of a popup paper feature into a very nice ring box. With all the workmanship and, should I say, love, put into it, it should be as valuable as the ring itself (at least, to the person you offered it to).

Your level of craftsmanship is inspiring & even the way you film, edit & the entire presentation of your videos is crazy good! Thanks for sharing your awesomness!

But seriously. It is absolutely astonishing to see a work of art come to life from the start up, through meticulous, precise craftsmanship. No talking, no music, no shoutouts, no sponsoring segment. Just a human, his tools, bits of wood and some suede. Liked and subscribed, you are awesome.

2 things: A) this is a very clever idea and use of materials. Something I'm interested in building myself B) thank you for not adding any music to your video. I really enjoyed the sound of the machinery and the quiet moments of glueing or assembly. A truly enjoyable experience.

[@MeasuredWorkshop]

I really appreciate that!! If I can help in any way when you build yours, just let me know. Measurements, methods, mechanisms, whatever, I’m happy to help! Just shoot me an email: [e-mail]

If the woman getting that wedding ring is anything like my wife, she wont even SEE the box or wonder at the work that went into it. She said she was so stunned and happy she couldn't see or think of anything else. Still a very cool presentation box.

[@Hxrb]

The things that I like from you is that I don't know what kind of mechanism you'll make until it finished.

[@liamfoxy]

Now this... this is beautiful. Something like this really adds a truly personal touch to that special moment. I hope that I can remember this project when the time comes for myself to present the ring someday

[@davidjowett8195]

A thing of beauty and, for once, a video that clearly shows how the final product was made. It was made to look simple, but that is the art of a true artisan. Well done and thank you.

I made a slightly modified version of this to propose to my then girlfriend (just made it as small as possible to hide in my pocket more easily).

Anyway, thanks for the well shot videos and detail you show, love the style of your channel.

Oh! Based on the title "Kinetic Spinning Ring Box"; I thought it would be a ring box that would stay closed at rest. But when spun like a top, centrifugal force would cause the sides to open. This is still a well made special ring box. Good job.

@@DrunkJarJar Well i do belive it's a great idea to use something like this in a special moment and if you are confident without crafting skills you may as well do it, but i can understand @While Noise too. This thing may look simple but for someone witout experience it may take way longer than "2-4 hours" to make, not to mention that it require tools not many people have plus materials and they would cost a pretty extra when you are already expending months of salary and hard work shile trying to not let your GF notice you are preparing for this.
