Cool ring. Hey could you tell me what kind of energy drink you used to sand and polish that ring so quickly? You must be must really popular with the ladies.
I have one of those my dads friend made him 40 years ago. Wont fit my finger so i keep it on my keychain in memory of my dad and his friend... Glad to see people still making them..
I liked the idea so much I made one out of a brass nut from a faucet I replaced. Took a couple hours to make, but at least I was at work when I did it. Turned out quite nice. Even got a couple complements on it. Thanks for the cool idea .
Here’s a tip for anyone trying this on their own, turn the nut 90 degrees in the vice and do all the filing sideways. This will keep the nut from bending/distorting if you clamp it too hard if your nut is made from a softer metal like brass. Being able to have the nut tightly gripped will also help if you’re running into problems with it moving as you are filing
Love it. Great work. I've seen other ring makers so this using a dremel tool. I like watching yours so much more. The only other video I have seen that is een remotely as cool is one where they forge a nut into a ring.
About 18 years ago I turned a socket wrench part from craftsman into a knights ring, the round part of the socket. I've seen rings like it in the stores from $100 to $200. I tryed to polish it with cloth for a couple of years 😋.(I worked 3rd shift and didn't get the rest that I needed thanks to some step "kids".) Years later I finally got it polished right. I used different emry cloths and then once a week I would use auto polish for chrome.Then I would use silver polish on it and then buff it with an old sock. Now it shines brightly in the sun. I also do this for my swords and knives. 😀
Dude, that is absolutely gorgeous and I just want to congratulate you on having way more patience than I do.... though I now kinda want to try this myself (goes looking for files and a good bench vise)
This is my favorite passed time! I love to make rings out of nuts! The key is to get your nuts inside something ring shaped to get them the shape you want.
When I got up this morning making a ring wasn't even in my top 50 of things that I wanted to do... now its like number 3... this is gonna happen this week.
this video is nice mate i started selling rings for 10 pounds then i bought power tools and then just builded my brand op now im selling rings up to 100 to 200 pounds
Awesome work. Using a softer Brass nut of the same size would likely speed the filing/cutting process up somewhat. Also, consider using some cutting fluid when cutting with the hacksaw, it'll make cutting a lot easier, and swill some of the steel chips out of the way, stopping any wandering. Also, use pieces of bicycle inner tube to secure stuff in vice jaws to stop your work from slipping. 🤙
I say well done to get that quality by hand shows talent and I have no doubt you can use power tools just as well. Kids with a vice and simple tools could give it a crack. 🇦🇺👍
this looks exactly like the ring my grandfather made before he died and he gave it to me. Obviously he made it years before this video but it still is crazy how much it looks like his ring
Beautiful ring and true craftsmanship. I believe the point of this video is to show you can make beautiful things without power tools - like its been done for thousands of years before electricity came along. If the electricity were gone forever THIS man could still earn a living. All you power tool guys would be on welfare. grin
Great video. I do have one concern though: I would have liked to see you finishing the inside edges of the ring. If someone were to follow your video, they may not realize with all of the work of sanding that you were doing, it would leave a razor edge if not dealt with.
What is this comment section??? People complaining about the music, people saying their rings are better, people asking what tools to use when they clearly are shown in the video
dude lol I seen 1 comment saying that "my ring is better" and only one who is asking for tools, but a lot of people complain about the music, so you read 2 comments and decided that
Him: *starts video off by filing by using filer* Me: *looks across workbench at dremel with file bit* Him: *rubs on sandpaper* Me: *Looks again at dremel* Him: *cuts sides using file* My dremel: *sweats aggressively* And yes I understand the title says “Common tools” it’s just a joke
I also made a ring like that, but how can you prevent it from rusting on the surface? After a few days, on mine,appear a very thin layer of rust and I don't know how to prevent it from happening. Beautiful ring anyway
Heat them up untill they glow a dull red. Hot but not really hot. Then throw it in a metal container of used motor oil. Just hope it doesent catch fire. Do it outside. The minerals in the oil will make the metal have a nic e petina. You will have to polish it back to metal as it will be black. But the metal will be hardened and wont rust.
Would it have made sense to normalize it first? I'm not sure if a nut is hardened or not but if it id then a quick normalization followed by a heat treat after may be smart. Great video though!
This is a great project, too bad I only have slow files for "coring" the ring. I can't even do it that fast with a lathe. Where did you get the fast files, or what brand are they? ;)
zigs apps Either the sarcasm was lost in translation or you're a great troll. Good advice though, but my files of choice remain those made by Pferd. Both the large ones and the needle/key files are excellent in quality, handling and durability.
Not all trolls are hostile :) For instance, if a person knows the mechanics of filing materials and faster than normal play of a video, he/she could still remark something in the order of "wow that was fast, amazing"... fully realizing that the speed in which the video was showed isn't the speed in which it was recorded.
zigs apps Thanks, I'll have to look up those videos, always good to see more learning content. Not sure if it's an American thing, I'm from the Netherlands.
Try drilling a hole in a chunk of timascus (steel/titanium) to make a ring with a peice of sandpaper in less than a week... then we’ll see who’s the real fool, power tool users our people like you
TopHat Videos Inc. Are you all there mate? What is the title of this video? Is he making a ring from timascus? No. Read the title and reply accordingly. Jesus you people are cooked...
this actually has common tools unlike other videos lol :D
"I'm just gonna slap this on my ring mandrel"
Literally lmao 19 bucks at Home Depot for a husky file set and good to go
Yeah a couple vids I've seen some dude had "common tools" in his title and was using a God damn power hammer and cnc machine
@Alexandra Chico bot
Sure, but who wants to file a nut until retirement age when you can go buy that tool in the video to speed it up?
Very good job and just using common tools you know we don't all have fancy workshops with all the latest tools you done a great job
Cool ring. Hey could you tell me what kind of energy drink you used to sand and polish that ring so quickly? You must be must really popular with the ladies.
“I am the clit commander!” 😂
He's methed up 😬😏
Ohhhhh yeah! i want to start making jewlery for the first time and it seems that I found the right project to take on!
thank you~!!!
I have one of those my dads friend made him 40 years ago. Wont fit my finger so i keep it on my keychain in memory of my dad and his friend... Glad to see people still making them..
Yeah it's a lost art & also credit to TH-cam that we got to see the process of its making

Thanks for the cool idea .
I left the threads in my ring so it will stay on my finger more securely. I twist the ring onto my finger and then torque it to 30 inch-pounds.
Yes, I have a little wrench that clicks when tightened
Here i am at 00:55 with school starting in a few hours watching a random man create a ring out of a bolt. Makes sense😂
A nut not a bolt

this dude got tired making this , and he got a good looking peace of art , good work sir!!
That nut never had a chance!!😄 Good job!!

Very cool. If people only knew how much time it takes they would appreciate their jewelry even more :)
SkullJewelry.com I payed for it
He can make a ring from a nut. my dad can make a disappointment out of a nut
damn. 😞
My eye : Did you see it?
My brain : Yes. I think we can do this
My hand : *YOU CRAZY GUYS*
my wallet: *hell no*
Hey koss I made 3 of those rings and sell them to my classmates thanks for sharing your skill
This is my favorite passed time! I love to make rings out of nuts! The key is to get your nuts inside something ring shaped to get them the shape you want.
This video got my like right away because using a file for something like that must have been a huge pain and no belt sander as well extra pain
Although the music was shit, the video was very interesting and I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for the inspiration
When I got up this morning making a ring wasn't even in my top 50 of things that I wanted to do... now its like number 3... this is gonna happen this week.
Beautifully made. Keep doing the good work.
Congratulations on your patience
Leo Electronix he deserves a prize aye 😂
Wait I thought the only way to get a ring from a nut was to say you were on birth control, when you weren't.
This is way too nicely crafted a joke to be on a video like this.
thank you for brightening up my day with this hilarious gem.
really nice work,it came out really beautiful!!!
Very nice you have made with common tools that's good
That's Nuts!
My god people like to complain 😅 nice work bud
True ay it’s a TH-cam video get over ya self guys
Koss.... Outstanding.. incredible!! Terrific job and beautiful craftsmanship! How many hours did this take you??
That is pretty cool , keep up the great work and thanks for sharing . Cheers
thats a stunning ring
Plot twist:he actually did it in this time and is the flash
this video is nice mate i started selling rings for 10 pounds then i bought power tools and then just builded my brand op now im selling rings up to 100 to 200 pounds
I make the rings to and selling them but I don’t know a good place too sell them yet

@@med8615 For precise, delicate sanding too, look up sanding sticks either on ebay, or at a local model making store. 👍
@@jimmyrustler8983 a decent seeming human being on TH-cam. 👍🏽
what made me really wondered the brightness in finishing!! unbelievable !!!
this is a real artist
I gotta hand it to you. That first minute was IMpressive.
With a little patience almost anything can be made with Files
I say well done to get that quality by hand shows talent and I have no doubt you can use power tools just as well. Kids with a vice and simple tools could give it a crack. 🇦🇺👍
I'll make this from nut with ordinary earing, to ring of my daugther, because you inspired me
how long did this take in real time
Black Dynamite about 2-3hours
Awesome work. What size nut is that?
Looks awesome I'm looking for things to try on my down time at work and this is perfect
The finishing is incredible.
this looks exactly like the ring my grandfather made before he died and he gave it to me. Obviously he made it years before this video but it still is crazy how much it looks like his ring
Yeah I lost the same ring but mine was sterling and from Mexico...
Thank goodness this video is sped up to x200. Otherwise we'd still be watching.
Dude, GREAT job!!!
I made one by myself and give it to my boyfriend he was so happy and surprised what I have done 🤗
Great job! Again more with a gem !!

0:53 was that sandpaper? Just curious. Cuz I'm actually going to try this
Most likely sandpaper wrapped around a pencil or dowel to smooth out the inside
Ya it looks like sandpaper around a dowel or thick pencil
What about the first part, it just looked like a metal rod to me?

Respect, bro your fucken patience you bought my respect
Улыбнуло. В юности в 90-х делали так же. Прям ностальгия.
Very Nice work
I would love to have that ring.
Verry nice, an inspirational peice for shure, thanks for the vid. Keep up the good work!
How many hours you take to make this? Greatings from Brazil!
Bad ass bro! I love it.
Thanks for that project. For how much will that ring go now please?
once you file out the inside... its done.
The speed of those hands!! 😮😮😁
GREAT JOB, NICE/FUN MUSIC!!
How long did you work on that ?
Hi @Koss. What grits of sandpaper did you use here and what did you end up using for the final polishing step? Thanks
I would say from 500 to 2000 or maybe even 300 with that shine
Beautiful and good work
dirty hands ; Clean job😎👏
Good work,bro!

Eero Tihtonen but what are the name of the tools
@@kodabear2270 Man I don't teally know :/ I think a file and a saw and sandpaper?
dude lol I seen 1 comment saying that "my ring is better" and only one who is asking for tools, but a lot of people complain about the music, so you read 2 comments and decided that
It said I can have 0 t Ngfull advantais 100 word, a file, sandpaper and a hacksaw and possibly metal polish
Cool job - what saw did you use? I've got a bench grinder but wanted to try it by hand first.
Like nd comment for your hardwork man... u nailed it ;)
Him: *starts video off by filing by using filer*
Me: *looks across workbench at dremel with file bit*
Him: *rubs on sandpaper*
Me: *Looks again at dremel*
Him: *cuts sides using file*
My dremel: *sweats aggressively*
And yes I understand the title says “Common tools” it’s just a joke
Dude my go to would be that Dremel in an instant... Save all that speed you chowed down on for after the ring is built
TY. Haven't tried that yet. Made rings out of spoons coins tokens washers bamboo various other woods - metal
You diserve tons of like
Everything is made from hand
Wow man You r awsm!!!!!!!👌👌👌👌
This was a project everyone did in 8th grade shop class - using only hand files. It was actually pretty cool.
Wow, never knew you could make a RING from a NUT. Quick question tho, how'd you get it to be solid in the first place.
I also made a ring like that, but how can you prevent it from rusting on the surface? After a few days, on mine,appear a very thin layer of rust and I don't know how to prevent it from happening. Beautiful ring anyway
this one in the video maded from stainless steel nut
Apply some nail polish sometimes it helps
Heat treat it mate and tip it on oil
Heat them up untill they glow a dull red. Hot but not really hot.
Then throw it in a metal container of used motor oil. Just hope it doesent catch fire. Do it outside.
The minerals in the oil will make the metal have a nic
e petina.
You will have to polish it back to metal as it will be black. But the metal will be hardened and wont rust.
Excelente trabalho meu brother! Like👍BRASIL
Hi. You should've left the inside last so you'll have a smaller surface to work on. 😀
Would it have made sense to normalize it first? I'm not sure if a nut is hardened or not but if it id then a quick normalization followed by a heat treat after may be smart. Great video though!
This was very inspirational, I Just Made one myself
How did it went?
How long doe it take?
Made one it took about a day and a half
It's kinda like a single finger knuckle duster. Looks awesome
You can also buy brass and stainless nuts to use. Brass looks good.
That's dedication ...... wow
Wow I like it!👍
Thanks for the video, I would have liked to have seen annotations of the tools.
What size nut did you start off with?
Patricia DelMercado one that fit his finger so he wouldn't have to do extra work to size it
Can you detail the different grits you went through? I'm trying to get a higher shine on my own ring.
How many time it's take's to complete this work
This is a great project, too bad I only have slow files for "coring" the ring. I can't even do it that fast with a lathe. Where did you get the fast files, or what brand are they? ;)

This was xactly what i was looking 4 ☮️💪👍🤘
@Koss can you tell me what sand paper you used please :)
I think 400, 800 and 1200 Grit. You should be able to get that at any hardware store.
Big like!👍👍👍👍👍✅💪Felicitări! Great video 👍👍👍
I liked your video it's was awesome and you made it buy hand no use of machine it was awesome
Great job.
*Really Awesome.....Love From PAKISTAN......*
Well done. Your skills with hand tools are so valuable. All these "use power tool" comments are by people who have no base skills. Fools.
Try drilling a hole in a chunk of timascus (steel/titanium) to make a ring with a peice of sandpaper in less than a week... then we’ll see who’s the real fool, power tool users our people like you

This music feels like an LSD trip
I imagined four of these welded together with a support on the bottom to make steel knuckle dusters. Of course you could always pour them too.
Very effective knuckle dusters.
