- In this ring making video we are making Bello opal bentwood rings from walnut burl veneer and crushed purple Bello opal on our wood lathe. Follow along on this step by step tutorial, and learn how these beautiful rings are created so that you can DIY!
This is really old footage that I finally got around to editing. Just trying to get some practice with the new editing equipment. I find it really interesting seeing all the things I do differently now. If you are interested in having a custom ring made, feel free to send me an email - SharpKnifeNuts@gmail.com

Very nice
Love this !!!!!
Love the whole vibe of this video!
Thanks! It's super old footage, but I wanted to get some practice editing on the new software.
The rings are super cool.
Thanks brotha, I appreciate that! Just started as a hobby, but quickly turned into a full time business.
EXCELLENT WORK DUDE!
Beautiful....🤩
Thanks, and thank you for watching!
I love the way you filmed this. The ring looks insane, well done. Awesome colors out of that opal!
Thanks! 😃👊🏼 This was really old footage that I finally got around to editing together, but I'm looking forward to showing some new techniques in some upcoming videos as well. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for some of my newer projects!
These are amazing, thank you for sharing your work with us. Beautiful 👌
Glad you dig it! I've got quite a few more I plan on filming as well. I'm in the middle of a really cool one right now. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned!😃👍🏼
SharpKnifeNuts awesome looking forward to seeing it, I am wanting to start doing my own rings with resin and opal, I just have to get myself a small lathe and more opal, I have been practicing shaping and polishing my opals ready, but I’m loving the wood with opal, looks amazing. 🙂
I ordered a super small, inexpensive lathe that I bought primarily for making beads, but may very well be capable of producing rings on a small scale as well. I'll do a little review on it and throw it up on the channel. Might be a good starting point for anyone that wants to get into ring making. Stay tuned!
SharpKnifeNuts ok that would be great, I’ll definitely keep my eye out for it, looking forward to more vids. 🙂
Dont stop the TI fun tho i learned a lot from those videos
I've still got a ton of titanium videos to film and put up. This was really old footage that I filmed, I just wanted to get a little practice on my new editing software. Don't worry, plenty more anodizing to come! I've got a killer ano video that'll be coming out shortly.
Holy shit dude. It is very cool to see you do your thing. Excellent job with the video.
Thanks bro! Super old footage, I just wanted to try out some of the new editing equipment. I need to start filming some new stuff, I haven't had time to do anything recently. I bought a new camera, but haven't had time to time once with it, lol.
Funny, your podcast is playing in the background as I'm typing this, lol
@@ApollosRings Oh shit. Thanks for that man. I get silly on those. Especially the latest one. Busy is good bro. Someone's gotta crank out them sick rings.
I really dig em bro. When you spend 12-16 hours huddled over a spinning machine you need something to listen to so you don't go too crazy, lol. Keep making them and I'll keep watch-ening to them!
Where did you get the dowels to size the rings?
Hello, new subscriber, quick question. Is there any need to use nail polish on the pivot pockets (where bearings/washers ride). Love the videos man.
You definitely can, it doesn't hurt to keep the tolerances super tight. On certain knives I'm not as concerned, but if it were a customers knife I would. Thanks for watching!
How did u get ring off. I cannot get the glue to come off as I need to glue ring onto the mandrel
What size is your wood that you’re using and cutting into strips? That’s amazing
Sorry, I just saw your question. Are you asking about the thickness, or the dimensions?
I did my first opal inlay ring, just wondered how to polish the opal inlay??.
I start with 250 grit sandpaper, then work up in 150 grit increments all the way up to 2000 grit, then I use Micro-Mesh and work through all those grits, then finally I use an automotive polish to finish it off. It's a tedious process, but it comes out beautifully once you're finished.
Where did you get your opal? I'm struggling to find opal that looks as good.
Hey Joe, shoot me an email at ApollosRings@Gmail.com and I'll get you pointed in the right direction.
Thanks,
Brian
Just a suggestion:
it's better to use a thinner wire around 0.2-0.3mm and the wire should be under tension to hold the ring properly.
I actually do that currently. This is just an old video with even older footage. I do appreciate the heads up though, cheers!👍🏼
@@ApollosRings I didn't realize that, all the best.
No worries here, I'll take tips any time!
Is the wire wrap to help bind it all together and help prevent it chipping away or cracking?
Yeah just a bit of added rigidity.
What size is the titanium wire? Thanks
If I remember correctly it's 28 gauge, and there should be an Amazon quick link for it in the video description if you want to help out the channel. Thanks for watching!
Just watched this and loved it. Very nice looking ring. What is that live center in your tailstock called. Is the dowel inserted inside of it?
Thank you, really appreciate that! I guess it could be hard to tell from this vid, but it's just the stock live center that shipped with my lathe, it just has an outer ring that makes it look like the dowel is in it. This is a really old video though. Since this I've upgraded to a much better thread on ring mandrel. If you're looking for one, let me know. I can point you in the right direction.
@@ApollosRings I am looking for something like that to hold the wood mandrel that I have. It doesnt have a center point in it on the small end so I've ordered a slip on center finder punch but it hasnt arrived yet. Just seen what you were using and thought that would be even better. Im totally knew to wood turning but love wood working. If you could point me in the right direction for something better please point away, lol. It would be greatly appreciated. Cant wait to watch some more vids of yours
This is what I use now, it isn't super cheap, but I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It works so well!

@@ApollosRings Wow! That is amazing. Nothing like having the right tool for the job I always say. Sure makes life a lot easier. I really appreciate you sharing that with me. I'm gonna learn a lot watching your videos. Thanks a lot and can't wait to order that chuck
If you plan on turning more than a few rings, it's definitely worth spending a few bucks. I used the dowel for a while, but learned pretty fast it was more trouble than it was worth. The first time a ring got glued to the thing and all that time was wasted made me want to chuck it across the room, lol.
What gauge wire do you use?
I use a few different gauges, but I believe that is 28 gauge in that particular ring. That is the gauge I use most frequently.
What is the resin/hardner that you use to hold your crushed stone in the inlay with. So many different kinds to choose from?
I have a link to the exact CA glue I use in the video description. The thin is great for penetrating, but I use a medium, and sometimes even thick viscosity for setting stones and opal.
@@ApollosRings Oh ok. I geuss I got confused. Not difficult for me....lol, I thought I seen you using some blue looking epoxy stuff on top of your titanium wire right before setting the stones. I thought that must be epoxy or resin used for bonding the stones.And speaking of stones, do you crush your own or buy pre-crushed. I seen some on the website you spoke of that appear to be already crushed. By the way I ordered the thin and medium CA glue in your links, just havent used yet. Thanks
I use CA for damn near everything. It's really versatile stuff. I do recommend the Bob Smith Insta-Set to go along with it though. It's a spray that instantly cures the CA. Definitely useful in a lot of situations. The blue stuff you saw was probably paint. I'll match the paint to the opal color, then paint over the titanium wire so that if there's ever a thin spot of opal in the inlay, the wire won't show through.
Now as far as stones go, now I crush my own. I used to buy it crushed before, but I like to have different sizes on hand, so I started crushing it myself. I'll probably do a video on how to make the crusher I use. It's super simple, works great, and saves me $. I'll try and get that video out ASAP
@@ApollosRings That is a video I really want to see. Not only are you very talented, but a very nice man as well. Your gonna go far dude!
I was gonna buy a stone crusher on Amazon from a link I found on a video, but when I went to order it, it was unavailable. Go figure...lol It was a couple of galvanized pipes that were kinda of overpriced I thought. One fit inside the other so that a sliding hammer was formed, with caps threaded on the ends for crushing...
What is the wire inside the ring for? And what did you paint it purple with?
Wood rings can break very easily, so I like to reinforce my wood rings with titanium wire. It adds strength and helps with crush resistance. Since the wire is titanium it is still very lightweight.
The purple paint is so that the titanium wire doesn't show through at all if there are any small gaps in opal, and also makes any small gaps much less visible. I match the paint to the color of the opal being used.
Awesome thanks for the quick reply! I’ve been making rings for quite a while not but I have been using titanium as the main ring material! I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now thanks for the help!
@@ApollosRings What gauge wire do you use?
I believe it's 28 gauge in that ring. I have a few different gauges, but 28 is my most frequently used. It's pretty versatile.
How do you free the ring from the mandrel?
That's an excellent question, and something I have had lots of issues with. This is super old footage, I now have a much better setup that I'll have a video on shortly, but when I had to use this mandrel I had to be extremely careful when freeing the ring. I would take a very sharp pointed tool and very slowly and carefully trim te edges just enough to break the bond of the glue. Problem was that every now and again the glue would seep under the ring. I ended up breaking a couple rings before I scrapped this setup for a much better mandrel. Entirely too much work wasted when they break.
That's what I thought when I saw you glueing, that stuff gets into any tiny space. If a nylon mandrel would work that would come free more easily, but it may not give enough friction to hold the ring. Will look for your later videos. Your presentation is good and very informative.
Thanks! Yeah, you are absolutely right about the glue getting into tiny spaces. If I used the thick stuff it would work better, but I have accidentally used medium on more than one occasion and had disastrous results.
I eventually ended up making my own bushings out of recycled HDPE and turned rings on a pen mandrel for quite some time. The HDPE works unbelievably well. I've sort of retired the pen mandel now though and use a specific ring turning attachment for the lathe. Took a bit of getting used to, but now I hate using anything else.
Not sure why you put the steel wire in. Even a fairly thin bentwood ring sealed with cyno is incredibly strong. I just finished a plain wood one 7mm wide and 2mm thick and it's not possible to break with my bare hands. Anything strong enough to break it would badly damage the finish and ruin it anyway.
Play music or make ring video. Not both.
