Secret Wood Rings DIY

[@sabrinaevans8388]

I'm a 19 year old girl with no woodworking experience. my crafting skills stop at a hot glue gun lol. but I love watching your videos!

[@rockytherookie8599]

same her but im 16 year old guy.. 😂

[@DavidClunie]

its cool, im 45 and @peterbrown rocks!

[@Granite]

I'm 20. You can visit my woodshop anytime.

[@sabrinaevans8388]

+Granite great, can my boyfriend come too?

[@user-xv1cs9mm9d]

I was about to comment around the same thing. I just find these to be entertaining

[@rlt94]

It takes a real artist to notice beauty in something not usually desirable.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Man, those are gorgeous! Great job!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thanks Bob!

[@kassu9600]

I would like to see you make those Bob!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Kasper Strang I don't think I could add anything that Peter didn't already do. these are great!

[@strangerfromthemoon13]

You should make a phone case with this method!

[@jamiehart8229]

my thought exactly

[@giupinkfairy]

YESSS!!! So cool!!

[@AR-CINE-HOUSE]

I actually have one. It also clips in and out and both parts are wood. Found it while I was thrift shopping in HK for 350$ :D

[@Jumpi95]

Oh, alright. Don't mind me with my 20$ phone case.

[@daemonikk]

$350 HKD? Around about $45 USD?

[@willemkossen]

I like this. Honestly, you couldve stopped before drilling that hole. That little landscape was pure art!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I agree with you. It was really cool looking at that point.

[@MIgardener]

These rings are insane. I can't believe how amazing they look!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

thank you!

[@MIgardener]

Peter Brown you did an amazing job. Would you ever be open to doing a video for me? i want to have a hand garden shovel handle with cherry tomatoes in it. I would pay you for it and pay you to do it. Would you be interested?

[@ericgillespie2812]

you are easily on my top 5 favorite channels. exceptional video peter

[@moxalis]

What a chill and down to earth dude who also knows his craft so well. Definitely a joy to watch. Keep up the good stuff!

[@LWolf12]

Saw this in the recommended section of my videos, was rather interesting to watch.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

thanks for watching!

[@LWolf12]

Peter Brown Welcome.

[@frankie051789]

I don't actually do any woodwork, but I really love seeing you create cool stuff. Rings are definitely awesome.

[@jimmydiresta]

So cool !! Nice hat 😉

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thanks Jimmy! oh, this old thing? I found it on the streets of NY... :)

[@moosaislam9685]

+Peter Brown LOL good reply

[@SammMannPitts]

I got a cramp from the ugly laughing/snorting because of this comment

[@amirakapoor8364]

the beauty of these rings is that each one is unique ...i loved the one which was mostly wood with a little resin...they all look like miniature sculptures...it looked like it took a while to get it done ..good job !

[@JustinLevine]

This blew my mind. Another great video Peter

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thank you Justin!

[@nilofarcompton4894]

Fantastic video without wasting time on useless information or talking too much with great image quality. Thank you very much

[@Nexriana]

I feel so dumb, I spent so long trying to find a cheaper alternative to the West System Epoxy. Then I realized you linked the cheaper alternative in the description already and I had overlooked it! My girlfriend found the original rings and loved them but I can't afford them. Thanks to this video however I just might be able to make a ring and surprise her with it! So thank you so much for the DIY tutorial sir!

[@Momo-bu3le]

Bacon Destroyer Awww that’s so sweet :) Pretty damn lucky to have a guy so thoughtful

[@c.s7978]

I finally bought some resin and had a go at making one of these a couple of weeks ago following your system. Because I don't have a work shop I have to improvise.. Splintering the wood on a doorstep works, just brace it with something and slam your foot into it. Splinters really well depending on the wood. I used a piece of Matai, the color of the ring comes up nice and dark with wood oil which doesn't harm the resin, although I did have to polish again afterwards. My sister decided she was going to have it before I had a chance to take pics, so I'll be making another one sometime soon. Lots of fun, and yeah, a lot of time. Mine took around 3 hours not including the time for the resin to set.

[@alpakachu4949]

can you make a resin mold from an egg to get a clear resin egg you can even put a nice rose bud or something inside if you can that is

[@alpakachu4949]

thin of it as a marble but egg shaped

[@hashtastic3537]

You could make a solid egg with a rose bud suspended inside, but making an actual shell that contains something would be kinda tricky. Unless you join to halves of an egg shell form together, but then you'd have a seam in your egg.

[@majesticderp]

You'd need to do a 2 part mold. Make an egg mold, split lengthwise, and cut a pour hole through the top (when laid down). Mix your resin, more than enough for both halves. Pour resin into the mold side with no hole, a bit less than half full, and add item to go inside. Quickly place other mold half on top, band or clamp it together, and then pour through the pour hole on the top, until the pour hole itself is full. Id recommend using a vacuum chamber to help kill any bubbles, unless you want them inside. You can add pearl powder, glitter, pigment, etc into the resin before or after you pour, to get different effects. Once its fully cured, you'd remove the molds, clip off the pour tab, and then sand/polish it to perfection. If you haven't worked with resin before, definitely make a few test batches to get yourself accustomed to the resin itself, and the viscosity level. It will also help to ensure you clamp/bind the mold pieces together properly, so there's no warping of the cast item, nor seepage.

[@xcessiveO_o]

beautiful idea buddy

[@novemberflower7027]

Best when using plant life in your resin (even if it's already dried or something like lichen) is to first preserve it by placing in powdered silica. Otherwise, once in the resin/epoxy, the color of the plant/flower will be drained and faded or will turn a different color entirely.

[@ianian14ify]

I LOVE what micro mesh does to the resin. Honestly beautiful

[@sciencepower608]

This is like professional threadbanger.

[@nuwbers]

Science Power lol rob sucks at everything

[@Renad-oy7nf]

Don’t disrespect peter like that lol

[@ClintRoseCarving]

One of the best executions I've seen of that type of ring, looked great and I reckon the 2 hour sanding was worth it!

[@GaviLazan]

Yeah! OP delivers! Those look so awesome. Sorry about the cursing in my comment on reddit, Gavers

[@peterbrownwastaken]

No worries, I just like keeping my KZbin kid friendly. I'm not a prude or anything... Thanks for the shout on on Reddit!

[@hunterthibodeau7337]

+Peter Brown hey, I want to get into epoxy/resin casting, and tips or low cost equipment?

[@daninb8939]

Make a bow, please? That would be very beautiful. Thak you!!!

[@GaviLazan]

Peter Brown either way, I totally understand. TBH I didn't even know you were on reddit, I saw someone else mention your channel and a third redditor tagged you. I never thought we'd see it, and this quick.

[@ashviolet4926]

you sir, are a fine artisan. one of the best made diy's ive seen in a very long time

[@Mazoodle]

My favorite homework procrastination is your videos! THANKS FOR ENABLING ME! 😂

[@christopherkeyser7334]

Hey man, thanks for making this video. I made a couple rings for my wife for valentines day and I can't wait to show her. I really appreciate the idea.

[@reginabest4266]

At 2:58 it looks like you could make a phone case from it. Really cool +Peter Brown

[@mattstone6553]

Wow man! I was not expecting them to turn out so beautiful. I'm going to have to try this one out for sure. As always, great job Peter! I've watched you from the beginning and it's always awesome just to see how skilled you've become.

[@pepperoni4531]

the sound of something getting sanded with a sand paper gives me goosebumps

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Sorry! I get the same vibe with shovels on concrete...

[@clmathers]

ASMR?

[@Wicklust]

I think they are talking about the exact opposite.Some sounds make some people just want to cut their ears and stab themselves a few times while they are at it.

[@NicholasKonradsen]

I feel the same with clanging/scraping cutlery

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Awesome result, Peter! I really, really like that. My wife now wants a pendant and matching earrings made out of the hidden wood, so thanks for the gift idea!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That's a great idea, and now, you've got more on your plate! If you find the time to do it, let me know. I'd love to see how it turns out!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Peter Brown Will do!

[@CHEESACRACKA]

Never have I ever seen someone try to break wood with splinters a certain way

[@peterbrownwastaken]

harder than I was expecting...

[@TheStampede000]

ok , those are beauties!! btw, nice DiResta Hat !

[@justinjr8394]

+Peter Brown Hey do you think you can do something with rice? Maybe a handle?

[@tylamacrae6467]

They look like natural gems!

[@TiffanyGrey]

anybody else get asmr w the wood breaking

[@17hmr243]

Tiffany Sherii Lilaan utube RHNB-RHNB / Torch "Pwip" Compilation

[@nightmare1sd774]

Anyone else love the smell of home depo

[@eatedbugs]

+Nightmare me asf lol

[@planttingz4121]

+Nightmare me lol

[@crybabyclassic]

Home Depot smells 100x better than Lowes! Why? Because they don't charge their customers fee's for free millworks desk cuts, so there's always that nice fresh smell of wood in the air, I get my wood from there all the time....pine and cedar smell the best xD

[@mingchong2961]

I don't woodwork or anything like that and I don't really have an interest in it... yet you are one of my favorite KZbinrs. keep it up man.

[@CornDawg9981]

This isn't my idea but, make a pizza tray out of another pizza

[@AdvantageousAngie]

yes, that would be cool!

[@craftgenuis]

pizza dip it sounds great

[@craftgenuis]

pizza dip it sounds great

[@vgamesx1]

And waste a perfectly good pizza? What's wrong with you? The horror! (although it would be kinda cool)

[@RobustEnigma]

YES! Pizza dip it! Plus, to compensate for the problems the cake holder had with warping, you could use dipped bread sticks as legs! :D

[@alicatmeow3306]

I've been watching your channel for awhile and I finally had the courage to try resin myself today! thanks to you I had a general idea of what I was doing lol

[@ivailluiz9855]

You should do the handle for someting using resin and froot loops, i bet that would look realy great!!!!!

[@samatomic1]

really* froot*

[@ivailluiz9855]

Thanks sir.

[@Murtagh653]

Actually @Samuel it's "froot" in this case, the product he is describing is exactly called "Froot Loops" it's a sugary cereal sold by Kellogg's. so; froot*

[@evancashman7614]

@Murtagh653 in Australia they are spelled "fruit" loops, so that might be what he was referring too?

[@doubledarefan]

A cereal bowl made of cereal.

[@thetorchchannel357]

Thanks PB for bringing this bit of awesomeness to my awareness !! Here in Minne-Snow-ta, the cooling weather is forcing my craft & art activities indoors. For a while now, actually ever since I watched your Bacon Handled Veg peeler those many months ago, I've been really excited about wood/resin fusion !! Now that I need pause my other activities (Aluminum Casting, Artistic Wood Burning, trying to birth a KZbin channel involving fire), I've decided to move to Wood & Resin projects for the cooler months !! Obviously I'm not gonna do rings, that would be stepping on toes, I think, considering that this may be an art direction I pursue with Career options in mind, as in, yeah, I want to try to sell what I make. Wow, look at me go !! Anyway, Thanks again Peter !!

[@Bubbasawyer1974]

Do a dip it and epoxy a McDonald's double cheese burger

[@DgkSilentMode]

that would be cool

[@Bubbasawyer1974]

More likes and comments about this might make him do it

[@defectivehumanity2359]

I'd love to see this!

[@ianmink1453]

Bubba Sawyer agreed

[@hyunsoorocket]

You just made my day even better

[@mona-1997]

they look amazing!! I love the one with less resin. I love how the splintering reminds me of like a city or just building in general

[@robertmurray]

What if you dip a deck of playing cards in to a poker table?

[@doubledarefan]

Or poker chips in a roof shingle pattern?

[@M3iscool]

What? Lol

[@jenniferroan2971]

Powdered Toast man maybe not a poker table, cause it might be confusing when you play.

[@bigboomer1013]

Powdered Toast man have me an idea that he should dip a magicians that with playing cards coming out of it and a magic wand. Maybe even dip gloves so it will look like and invisible man is wearing it

[@Rollercoasterruby]

i can honestly say that id buy half of the stuff you make.. they’re all so cool

[@Syroos]

Nice Diresta Hat.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

thanks!

[@Syroos]

Nice rings too tho.

[@sultanalzahrani3402]

Thanks youtube for recommending this awesome channel to me

[@SavvasPapasavva]

3:16 looks like it could be a phone case!

[@bizmarkie9112]

The look like a natural view of underwater stone structures you'd see in underwater caves or whatnot or sharp mountains against the sky, or even a city. I love it and want one.

[@thestalkinghead]

dip some smashed shards of different coloured glass

[@cliquemate6453]

This would be cool.

[@wholock0001]

Bump

[@Sagnag]

But be careful Peter!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I think I'm going to skip that one. Sorry....

[@thestalkinghead]

Peter Brown no problem, i just like to throw some ideas out there.... maybe chopped up bits of colourful plastic

[@dearestdei]

These are so very beautiful! Plus your process on how to do them seems like it wouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Thanks for sharing, I definitely enjoyed watching!

[@knivesstuff]

what are secret wood rings??

[@peterbrownwastaken]

They're very popular in my Facebook feed and on Imgur. Maybe I've just been targeted... :)

[@knivesstuff]

Peter Brown Cool, never seen them before :)

[@skullcrushers1000]

Wait, you're a Imgurian?

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Rhett Having a Vietnam Flashback Yes. I'm glorious even... :) kludge77

[@louispasques6397]

thats probably the best username and profile pic ever

[@R3n0rT4urCry50]

Been wanting one of these for months. Might have to get one now! They are just so beautiful

[@JackmanWorks]

Great demo Peter! I'll never understand why stuff like this blows up so much. It's always the stupidly simple things that grab everyone's attention.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

wait... did you just call me stupidly simple? UNSUBSCRIBE! :)

[@JarrodCoombes]

We all are from time to time.

[@r1w3d]

+Peter Brown that's a nice hat you have there haha. both great channels I appreciate the content. thanks for the entertainment

[@xenogamerx]

Because the actual rings are stunning, like mini galaxies in there, these came out horrible.

[@melaniel8612]

these rings are absolutely gorgeous! well done sir

[@rhysyan7136]

will this rings hurt skin ? or can u wear it while u in sauna, or hotspring.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

No, no. this ring won't hurt your skin. Nothing toxic there within You can wear it in the Sauna In just your towel if you wanna You can wear it at the hot spring it will be your flashy bling! You can wear it anywhere....

[@rhysyan7136]

+Peter Brown ah. okay. sounds awesome. will try it someday.

[@rhysyan7136]

+Peter Brown can I use some other resin and hardener. because u can't find west system in China.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

100% all you need is clear casting epoxy. There are many companies that make similar products!

[@rhysyan7136]

oaky.. thank you...

[@matthewbrown7111]

You're a better man than I, all of my projects stall at the sanding stage. Great video

[@HumanBeing-gq1gp]

Hey Peter, have you ever seen The Red Green Show? I feel like you might relate to the character Red Green.

[@wkcftw]

man you are awesome, these kind of channels that deserves to get million and million of subscribers not the pointless ones ugh.. glad i found you :D

[@zabuzamomochi6123]

do you sell anything you make?

[@littlelily601]

Love it!! I'd always wondered how it was done. I think you pretty much nailed it. The bubbles give it a nice, underwater feel. I wonder how it would turn out if you mixed up your resin, added some blue AND a sea green color, and not mixing them together conpletely, just a few swirls/stirs... wonderful job!!

[@marceaton3128]

When I do a build and sell it I get the same line "all it is was some wood and glue and you put legs on it." A wise man once said "everyone loves my work until they have to pay for it."

[@creepytodd1774]

YES!

[@davestrain1762]

Excellent job Peter... "overestimating my abilities here" haha They turned out excellent!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

thanks Dave! Yeah, I was feeling a bit inadequate there...

[@josephk5770]

Can anyone guess how they make swirls, or wind patterns? Love the video, but they had many types of rings

[@josephk5770]

Or the snow effect?

[@dalleth]

It's called pearlizing.

[@XxMeatShakexX]

Just gotta be creative, white shavings/powder for snow, uneven resin mixture can add swirls, etc.

[@superdau]

Dip a tooth pick into color and drag it through maybe

[@dannersmyers]

I'm about to try this myself so I am just assuming at this point. I think they mix a white pigment with epoxy and carefully brush it on the broken bits of wood before putting it in the mold, then pour the blue epoxy in the mold. After everything is poured I'm assuming they use a toothpick or something to stir or pull the white epoxy into the blue. Hope that helps!

[@thalyeller]

these like more a piece of ocean. How pretty!! 😍

[@lecareymitchelliii9008]

I wanna see you make a yoyo. not an old duncan imperial type, I mean a high end, ball bearing yoyo. contact me if you want more info on what they are or how they work, I think - I KNOW - that would be a fantastic video!

[@redkraken23]

I have always wondered how these were done. Awesome job! Totally fascinating.

[@DizzyCooperSarrosong]

befor seeing this i alredy had a good idya how its don just wood and resin rilly and coloing too would have don this in woodshop back in high school had i seen this

[@DizzyCooperSarrosong]

looks like you can wear the sea on your finger definetly a nice little hobby to start

[@sia7001]

breaking those wooden boards were so satisfying to watch 😍

[@sharonzamarka3503]

omg how do i get one of those?!!! my woodworking dad just died 😢 and i know he would have jumped on a project like this! wish he was here to make me one.💔

[@sharonzamarka3503]

Taylor I really hope that's sarcasm!!!✌

[@sharonzamarka3503]

Taylor well then ,gee whiz, Taylor YOU ARE A DICKWAD!!!

[@sharonzamarka3503]

Fuckwipes like you need to stay in your mommy's basement ,"gaming" or whatever you losers call it!

[@Aquaquake]

Well this discussion got progressively more sad

[@KuenchinDofus]

Sharon, do you have no sense of humor ? Like, at all ? On a completely unrelated note, I must say, I don't know you, but I'm sorry about your father. I hope you're doing okay.

[@blackcrusader47]

Really nice! This channel has grown so much since I started watching~ I love it! Keep up the good work~

[@Dloweification]

This video gave me secret wood.

[@shallabim912]

Dloweification Best comment ever made on any channel ever.

[@FuriosasWarRig]

Made my day

[@Authenticallyathena]

Dloweification that is hilarious

[@raultv760]

LMAO

[@Greenfairy65]

LOL.... you too, huh?

[@ninjamaster102]

This is incredible! I've seen their rings on Reddit before, but seeing you do your take on it was really interesting.

[@AlphaPlants420]

Is kludge77 your offical Imgur account?

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Yep! That me!

[@thealice7314]

Awesome your post brought me here, I'm defiantly going to try making one of these rings

[@ShaelieVogel]

Led epoxy resin river table ??

[@lucasmcnall3026]

I like that diresta hat

[@Junkotherstuff]

He found it in the streets of New York.

[@brianschnurr3254]

+Junk & other stuff hahaha

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Junk & other stuff Ha! "and this mirror"

[@heathert5267]

Incredible, great work! So glad I stumbled on this because I took a major interest in those rings from Facebook. Thank you!

[@AntiqueMeme]

What's so secret about them?

[@fallacygalaxyeatsplanets3342]

Probably because it looks like they kind of have "secret" city inside of them, but I dunno :p

[@TheOneGirlification]

If you go and look up the original sellers and look at the different rings you'll quickly notice why they are called secret woods, its as if there is a small woods (forest woods not building wood) inside the rings

[@AntiqueMeme]

Oh, ok. Thanks guys. I didn't realize this was a copy of an already existing product.

[@Vagmodrising]

its because they look like from a fairy tale rings froms the forest secret shit

[@nicholaswinkler7768]

Loving the Diresta hat Peter! And great work, as usual!

[@jonnymiskatonic]

Small chisel inside the handle of a larger chisel. Chiselception?

[@buttmongrel8240]

I love the "spinal tap" reference you threw in there!!

[@NadavIgra]

I get secret wood all the time.

[@danielgyoutube7512]

😄

[@peterbrownwastaken]

giggle.

[@katykipling]

Thanks for making this video! I love working with resin! So this is a project I will definitely try to mimic!

[@juicebox-autoworks4996]

please try something with skittles candy

[@isaacmcphaiden8926]

Saw this on Reddit, this is really cool, thanks Peter for the great video again

[@MichaelHenderson59]

All these comments coming from people who have no idea what "secret wood ring" even is. Just Google "secret wood ring", it's not rocket science.

[@gabbybritz1510]

Michael Henderson or just watch the video lol

[@GeauT]

Hi Peter, thanks for the great videos. I have been inspired by you and Jimmie DiResta to get back into woodworking, and metalworking. Time to make space in the garage for a shop. I already bought an old Delta table-saw on Craig's List.

[@sebthecuber5238]

As I guessed, the rumors were fake. I'll never get a response from Peter.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I could see this tactic working once, but certainly not twice...

[@sebthecuber5238]

Peter Brown Hmm...

[@JoshMakesStuff]

Super beautiful Peter. It looks like some caves I've dove in. Great work

[@melissacaldwell5598]

Perhaps you should have just taken the wood you wanted to use to a martial arts studio to see if they could break some boards for you. 😀

[@melissacaldwell5598]

BTW... Very cool project!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Oh man! Missed opportunities....

[@CrystalSaysSo]

Wonderful video, as always! But, your rings will always be my favorites! These were simply stunning!

[@KhaoticJesteress]

Do this... as a phone case.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

that would be cool!

[@bowdimohawk]

one of the coolest rings I've ever seen!!!!

[@shookings]

Peter Brown made something without endangering himself. Won't lie, I feel a little cheated.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

HA! Check again. I wasn't wearing shoes in the very first clip.

[@nightmare1sd774]

+Peter Brown lol

[@Msviolet65]

Those are really neat! My father has made me rings from dear and elk antlers. They are very pours so I bet they would take resin real nice.

[@somitomi]

But why is it called a 'secret wood ring'. What's secret about it?

[@olyseth]

its secret

[@pluviophile0920]

+Seth williams 😂😂😂

[@emilyhughes4297]

i think its meant to be like a secret world inside the resin bit

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Zoe Papillon Exactly!

[@lauraklinglesmith4894]

So beautiful and unique!! Gorgeous!

[@milenaantic2590]

But seriously now, what is secret?

[@Slender_Man_186]

It's the name of the company that makes the official rings.

[@hakantacrafter813]

thanks for the video Peter i don't do woodwork in a studio myself but i have watched a few of your videos now they are very interesting, i haven't seen those rings before they look awesome, that would look cool in other things too like shelves.

[@sss-tw3jh]

can you make a girlfriend in ur next dip it, im asking 4 a friend

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I had it on the list, but my wife nixed it...

[@TheOneGirlification]

I found this video (and channel) and HAD to watch it bc i love those rings and i just gotta say, i think you did an amazing job

[@VanessaAlaskanGodess]

Those turned out beautifully

[@mrmandoodguyperson]

Those turned out amazing!! Great job Peter!!!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

thank you!

[@mrmandoodguyperson]

Peter Brown :O HE REPLIED GUYS

[@Joeythatoneguy]

Love it! I was thinking about figuring it out myself, but your tutorials are always amazing!

[@dannersmyers]

Thanks a ton for making this video!! 👍🏻 It really helped me out cutting and polishing epoxy like this. FYI any flat faces can be scraped using a utility knife like a card scraper, then it's ready to go straight to 3000 grit. Doing that shaved off a ton of sanding time for my project, I didn't have any rounded surfaces like yours though or I would've gone through the grits just like you.
