  • How to make wooden rings without power tools. You’ve heard me say that you don’t need fancy tools or a large workshop to make wooden rings and in this tutorial I will prove it. I will show you how to make a bent wood ring with simple tools only.
    Download my FREE "Guide To Making Bent Wood Rings" here:
    eepurl.com/btZpJv
    If you're interested learning more about ring making then check out my course "Next Level Wooden Rings":
    bit.ly/2rCxSue
    This ring took me about 1.5 hours with the bare bones tooling set up. I want to show you that you can make valuable wooden rings without investing an arm and a leg for tools, so I hope this tutorial helps.

    Thank you for this! My partner took me hiking around a local trail and proposed to me on a fallen tree with seats carved into it yesterday. I'm going to find a way to make thin sheets out of the slice of wood I take from that log where we both sat and make a band for him out of it instead of a boring and cheap silver or gold band men tend to get.

    If you use a vegetable steamer, it makes the wood much more pliable and you get a stronger set after drying. It also doesn't make the wood swell as much as soaking and drying time is greatly reduced.

    For people who want to give this a try: it gets messy, a lot! Be careful working. The gluing part is a pain in the ass, you can easily break the veneer, you can end up gluing you goves etc. Prepare more veneer than you have in mind. If you want 2 rings, I suggest cutting 4 pieces at least. I tried engraving something on top, I think it is doable but needs practicing.
    But in the end, I think it is worth it. I got 2 rings at the moment, they are not perfect but I am happy with them. Good luck.
    And thanks for this insightful guide Dan. I could not do it without knowing all these. Cheers.

    One thing you can also use that most everyone has on hand for glue ups is parchment paper.
    It provides a perfect non stick surface and is also paper thin so it would keep the wood from sticking to anything.
    I've used this for quite a few of my glue ups in the past.

    I have a suggestion to possibly make the gluing easier, or specifically to help prevent gluing yourself to your work. Put painter's masking tape on the wood, on the outside, and as you go, peel the tape out of the way as you glue the next layer over the top.
    This is a technique I use when I use super glue to glue corks on the tenons of clarinets and other woodwinds.

    For rings, a lathe is very expensive but a normal power drill is not. Get a longer drill bit, wrap a bunch of masking tape on it until the ring can sit snug on it. For things like sanding and polishing the outside, it'll save you a lot of time.

Paint or ink then rubbed on..whereas it filled the design grooves..Wiping off the ink/paint carefully..leaving the design visable. not too shabby
