- Making wood and acrylic rings is a woodturning project that offers a ton of design options, so you can really personalize them and they make great gifts. You can choose to turn a ring from almost any hardwood species or man made acrylic blanks. You also have the choice of several styles of metal or ceramic ring cores. Turning rings does require more precision and attention to detail than some other types of woodturning projects, but it is not difficult if you take your time and work carefully.

I lost all confidence in myself to do this because so many videos made it seem so complicated so thank you for this
That is great to hear! Thank you!
We retire and remake our wedding rings every year. Had no idea that a lathe ring mandrel existed. Ordering one right now!
Sounds like a sponsorship opportunity....
Haven’t gotten into turning yet so I just watch David make his new rings every year. 😂
I've always loved that you remake your wedding rings! I'm assuming you follow the ring making with a drum battle. 🤘
Great, good job! 👍
I made also some rings from Eucalyptus wood.
I think the bond between the core and the wood itself would be far more stronger with some epoxy glue. I really liked the video, and the finish using cyanoacrylate is something I wasn't aware about, thank you.
My first ring i made cost me $165 in materials I needed, Lots of fun
I’m gonna give it a go
That is great! Have fun! 🙌
How do you get the wood centered in the groves cores that have the outer lips? I can see how the flush ones work, but unsure about Groved ones
We’re assuming that the “grooved” core you are referring to is one of our 2-piece Ring Cores. This style core separates into two pieces and the turned wood ring blank is sandwiched between the two sides. This requires turning a very precisely sized ring blank - both in terms of inside diameter and width. See this excerpt from the product instructions.
From the Instructions:
Achieving the correct width on your ring blank is critical when working with a two-part ring core. The final width of the blank must EXACTLY match the width of the ring core’s channel when the halves are assembled.
You can view the 2 part rings on our website at - pulse.ly/qvb3lkh52z - and under Technical Documents, there is a .pdf with the full instructions.
Thanks!
Turn, turn, turn, to everything there is a season. I put many different materials on the lathe, wood too.
😂🙌
You use anything to make it stick to the metal?
At 4:38 in the video he applies CA Glue. Is this what you were referring to specifically?
I’ve seen nothing but bad reviews for CA glue finishes after light use of even one weeks time. Have you found them durable enough? How about to sell them with that finish?
CA glue is a common pen-turners finish, and we've tried it on the rings we've turned. It’s a film-forming finish that looks great and builds to a glossy sheen. But it’s not the most durable solution. It would be best used on rings that are intended for occasional but not daily wear, in situations where hands get washed routinely, or the rings will be subjected to wear and tear. Wooden rings, after all, aren’t a substitute for hard metals that don’t absorb water, crack or abrade easily.
What ia the specific model of tools you are using for the internal sizing?
Are you asking about the Jacobs Chuck and the Forstner Bit, or the Square Scraper/Bedan Tool?
@@rockler I am asking about the Square Scrapper/Bedan tool. I found a Bedan tool by Robert Sorby on the Rockler website. Is that the one you're using?
Both are shown in the video. The Robert Sorby Bedan is shown second and our Rockler Square Mini Ergonomic Carbide Turning Tool is shown first. Here is a link to the one we used - www.rockler.com/square-carbide-mini-turning-tool - We also make full size carbide turning tools. Hope this helps, thanks!
@@rockler Thank you so much! I really appreciate the response from you! It makes me a proud customer of Rockler! 10/10 customer service for sure!
@@rockler Can I get by carving out the inside of the ring with just the Bedan tool for now?
Where’s the best place to purchase ring cores and a mandrill?
In Rockler stores if you have one local. Otherwise, we cary them on our website. Just search for "Ring Core" and Ring Mandrel" on Rockler.com.
Hello. 5:08 Where can you buy this ring tool online?Thanks in advance.
Hello, We sell these on our website at - www.rockler.com/search/ring%20mandrels - Thanks!
I like the idea of making rings but I've seen too many pens fail over the years because CA glue doesn't last. I can't stand selling stuff that disappoints the owner in a couple years. I was hoping to make solid wood rings to avoid this, but you are right it wouldn't be strong enough.
It's a good finish for a ring that will see occasional use, as to daily use.
@@rockler I'm referring to the core binding to the wood. I would be concerned the core would fall out. I've seen too many pen tubes do this after a few years.
Got it. For this, try a quick setting epoxy as to the ca glue for a stronger, longer lasting bond.
@@rockler that's a great idea, maybe I will try this after all
You got this. 🙌
Is there any issue with anyone havea skin reaction to CA glue finish? The result looks great otherwise.
Not once it is cured. Some people have sensitivity to it when it is still liquid though. Avoiding skin contact and wearing rubber gloves is recommended during application.
"A glow in the dark pigment that you can add to make your ring light up at night". I spat out my coffee, and nearly died laughing.😂😂😂
What an expensive waste block....
