She tolaretes you for the same reason we tolerate you and your facepalming-jokes: you're an amazing human-being! Congratulations on the engagement, and best wishes to both of you! =)
Congratulations and well done. You may just find she loves that cheap, hand made brass ring more than the engagement ring she picks out. A bit of advise from a married man. Don't question why they tolerate us, just be thankful they do.
My favorite part of this Video is where you used a plastic handled sanding thingy to hold the wood near the blade, thus protecting your hand. Do that more.
That isn’t a sanding thingy. It’s a hold wood near a blade thingy. Kinda like a push stick, but not for corners. I’ve seen them used a bunch on jointers. They protect you from blades as well as kickback.
Will you also show the ones you made for the elven-kings under the sky, those for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, and those for mortal men, doomed to die?
There are not many men who would have the thoughtfulness and ability make such a lovely thing for their fiance. Well done! You are obviously appreciated. Cheers.
Congrats on getting married. I've been married for 15 years this year and can relate to "I don't know how she tolerates me." Love the ring and the ring boxes. I bet you could make a buisness out that!
We made men's rings out of steel nuts in 8th grade metal shop just using files and sandpaper. If you leave one side flat you can make it a signet ring, by scratching or etching a design on it.
Congrats on the engagement! Sounds like things are turning around for you - glad you took the time for yourself, got life in order, and are marching full speed ahead!
Congratulations on your engagement box's...... and your engagement!!! I've only just found your channel but I love that you'd go to all those steps just to pop the question, then go ring shopping afterwards! To make the wedding bands, you could buy 2 gold ring blanks, with the correct internal size (go for a size or 2 smaller then you need so you can polish it to the right size), then pray like crap that you don't slip and trash one! Also there are lathe mounted ring holders, which are a little step up from the wooden dowel but could still be made by you. And a dremel with various polishing attachments would also help a LOT. I'd probably practice on a few more nuts first but it is possible. 👍👍👍👍👍
I made the box for my wife's ring from a case we made at work for USDA. Its a neat box. Wish I had a way to share the picture with you. Here's to proposing with our own boxes!! I made shipping cases for 8 years for a company called Volunteer Case and Container. Mostly for radiation detection equipment. twas an awesome job
I have an old delta table saw and an old craftsman chain saw. Those are the only two tools that still scare the crap out of me after multiple decades of tool work.
As somebody who worked as a jeweller, I would say if you have the wax forms it's & tools it's easier to make the whole Ring yourself from Gold and such as the whole oddeal you did. Sure, you wont have a melting pot and if you start from scratch it's always kinda difficult to first get your wax Form (or a material which is comparable easy to melt out of a gypsum/caster), especially if you wanna make it fancy with cool forms and such. But the actually art of being a jeweller (Well, if you create / make your own stuff) is actually puttin' Jewls in it without breaking them (It's actually pretty easy to "break" a Diamond for an example), repair pieces (soldering Gold is kinda difficult due to his high melting point, Silver is kinda ok especially because you use a differen tool for that which is in my opinion easier to controll) and actually creating pieces from scratch which are really beautifull. Long story short: If you know a Jeweller, try to befriend him - Maybe he will let you use his tools / show you some stuff. It could be come handy for some Christmas Gifts and Jeweller - at least in my expierence - love custom made workstations and the standard ones already really expensive to buy. So maybe it would be mutual beneficial for both.
This is perfect! I'm going to do the same thing!!! It's extremely personal, and comes with a built in justification for all of the tools I own or plan to own.
Congratulations! This video is extremely timely for me, as I just inherited my grandpa's table saw and lathe. I may have to build a table saw guide tray like yours; it looks very useful.
Congrats! Those boxes look great. Last summer I had a similar plan and made my own engagement ring and box as well. I made my fiance's ring out of some half round sterling silver wire (8 or 10 ga.) and a pre-made 4 prong setting. It was my first attempt at jewelry making and for what I had in mind was pretty straight forward. it only required the wire and setting, 3 grades of silver solder, flux, a pick, a flower pot plate, and a MAP gas torch. the plate was used as a work surface to solder on, ceramic helps keep the heat in the metal. you also need a crock pot, salt, and vinegar to make a jewelers' pickle to remove any oxidation and fire scale. Most of what you don't have laying around the shop can be purchased from a jewelry supply store for about $30. All in all, it took me about two hours to produce a passable ring in my first attempt. I'd recommend you give it a shot.
2:15, dont do this way man, I did it once, and now I have forever reminder of the sharpness of the saws teeth. Take it from my experience, there are much safer ways to cut wood.
Nice! I made a ring box myself... Well, not exactly a "box", but something a bit like the Faberge egs. Even if comparing my handy work to the masterpieces of art made in the Faberge shop... My ring box is more like a vaguely egg shaped piece of wood that is cut into two pieces and does have a small cavity inside, to fit a ring in it. For decoration i made a set of copper hearts, and added some glitter and other fancy'ish stuff on it... Even if my work compares quite poorly to the master jewelers of the russian royals, it is one of the finest works I have managed to accomplish so far.
Congrats on the engagement and such a nice build on these boxes and rigns. If you're going to get your fingers so close to that blade, please get yourself a SawStop! (nothing wrong with your Craftsman... wish we could retrofit them with a similar nearly-instant brake)
If there was ever a man that needed to go back and watch the old Steve Ramsey videos with the MicroJig plugs in them, it's you! LOL good lord man! I bought a MicroJig before I even owned a table saw...
Congratulations...very, very late...but still!!!!! I love your videos! I've them all MULTIPLE TIMES. Please, Mr. DUNN, put a safety guard on the rear fence of your table saw sled! Take it from experience, sometimes you get so focused on the cutting part, you forget where your hands are. We need you to be able to keep making videos! Your stuff is EPIC!!!
That is super inventive and charming. Also, if you needed a diamond you should have warned me before you made those table saw cuts, think I had sufficient pucker.
Yes, you are right, you should never bring your fingers that close to the blade. When the wood catches on the blade, it will pull your fingers with it, and it will happen faster than you can react. There are safer methods. You don't need to lose part of a finger to understand this.
We share a sense of humour my friend. Your video's are entertaining and informative. What more can anyone ask from a video? Great job. Oh, and congrats.
Gold plating problem...the plating will last for a very short time with constant wearing. I have plated hundreds of items with many of them being rings. It just is not made to last. Epoxies and other coating won't wear well either but can extend the life a bit. If you really want a plating that might last a while, try rhodium or platinum. Yes, I have used both of these too.
Congratulations Robert. Now, to ensure that your fingers are ever ready to wear that wedding ring, take more safety precautions mate. That was DANGEROUS!
"I don't know how she tolerates me." Well a wise man once said "if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
Pubert Jones gotta love red green!
Ahh, nice reference to red green
Red green lol
"I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess"
Red Green's famous saying!
Another saying by Red Green, "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying hard enough".
She tolaretes you for the same reason we tolerate you and your facepalming-jokes: you're an amazing human-being!
Congratulations on the engagement, and best wishes to both of you! =)
Congratulations on the engagement, hopefully you'll have the bus ready for the honeymoon
At this rate not a chance
Or the tenth anniversary :)
But seriously, congrats!
Ah yes a furry, good to see another one in the wild (don't worry I'm one too)
Was the honeymoon working on the bus together?
Congratulations! You should definitely make your wedding rings!
I didn't think that one of your videos would break my heart this morning, but here we are.
yeah... youtube had some pretty... interesting. timing on this recommendation
@@strawbemily3182 For sure. Big oof.
Am I missing something?
@@directhacker7776 his wife cheated on him and left him
Any woman would be so lucky. He'll find the proper squish in time. Maybe someone handy who can help move chicken coops so they don't tip over 😢
Congratulations and well done. You may just find she loves that cheap, hand made brass ring more than the engagement ring she picks out. A bit of advise from a married man. Don't question why they tolerate us, just be thankful they do.

"Now that my box is all oily, lets move on to the ring!" Oh dear...

Yeah, I was cringing a lot.

Man I love your videos!! " I don't know how she tolerates me" ... Its called Love
“…and through the magic of making two of them…”
If my granddaughter dragged you home (after I quit laughing) I'd be VERY PLEASED !! (knowing she is a good judge of character) BEST WISHES !!
Shiny! That table saw rings and rings in that shop area!
Keep your fingery bits attached too.
Wow, those rings are nuts! ;)
You certainly are a crafty soul. She must have some great stories to tell her friends. I hope your happiness continues.
_There's a ring in here somewhere, we just have to dig it out._

That’s an incredibly sweet way to propose, thanks for sharing how you made the box and ring.
"I have no sense of style", says the man with a Trabant 😂😂
Robert, you're one of a kind! Keep producing videos on your channels. Any and all of your content is riveting !
12:38 - i laughed at the gesture, more than i should have :D

Congratulations on getting married! How about a video of you gold plating your rings yourself? It’s really not that hard.
Congrats on the engagement! Sounds like things are turning around for you - glad you took the time for yourself, got life in order, and are marching full speed ahead!
Nicely done! Making your own ring for her is truly awesome!
Keep up the vids. I really enjoy your humor along with down to earth methods you use in your builds.

I'm happy for you!
You did a great job on those ring boxes and the rings are pretty decent for making them yourself!
Keep your freaking fingers safe man!
Congrats, great video.Had me wondering until the end, "will his sweetie wear that?"

Nothing like the constant fear of a sudden amputation to keep a video interesting
Congratulations on getting married. I totally dig on your videos, you have a twisted Sense of humor. I love it.🤣😂. Keep up the good work.
You are the best.
Nice touch with the plaster in the finger just after the close cut haha
This is perfect! I'm going to do the same thing!!! It's extremely personal, and comes with a built in justification for all of the tools I own or plan to own.
Absolutely love the character of the videos and how you communicate to your viewers.
That’s fantastic news (and a great job on the ring & box). Congratulations, Robert!!

Congratulations!

That's an upcoming project, along with 'On the Dunny"

My friend's then-fiance made her a wedding ring from a curtain ring. She still wears it, four decades later.
Young sir! the 20 years joke had me almost spitting my drink over my laptop. also hella cool project. hats off to you.
Congrats on the engagement and such a nice build on these boxes and rigns.
If you're going to get your fingers so close to that blade, please get yourself a SawStop!

shes gonna have an amazing husband.....best wishes from Scotland
Congrats on the engagement!!! That turned out really nice, great work!!
Congratulations on the engagement and marriage! All the best to you and your family! :)
That ring came out awesome !! Well done !!
If there was ever a man that needed to go back and watch the old Steve Ramsey videos with the MicroJig plugs in them, it's you! LOL good lord man! I bought a MicroJig before I even owned a table saw...
Congratulations, Robert!
Nicely done!
congrats on your up coming wedding
The best place to keep your fingers while using the table saw is on your hands.
Love the show, please don't chop your fingers off!
Congratulations...very, very late...but still!!!!! I love your videos! I've them all MULTIPLE TIMES. Please, Mr. DUNN, put a safety guard on the rear fence of your table saw sled!

His wife unfortunently left him about 8 months ago..
Congratulations to you both! Great little project simply explained. Love it.
Brilliant and worth more than 1000 diamonds.
That is super inventive and charming. Also, if you needed a diamond you should have warned me before you made those table saw cuts, think I had sufficient pucker.
Congratulations on the wedding plans.
Hahaha that's awesome man, congrats and awesome job on the rings and boxes!
That was lovely and she is a lucky girl! Congratulations.
Yes, you are right, you should never bring your fingers that close to the blade. When the wood catches on the blade, it will pull your fingers with it, and it will happen faster than you can react. There are safer methods. You don't need to lose part of a finger to understand this.
Congrats! You should totally make your own wedding bands! Itll mean that much more imo! Honestly, I might do this lmao
Good for you Mr Dunn!
Congratulations!
Home made rings sound awesome ♥️
Congratulations my friend!!!!! You deserve it!!!
With the blade protruding 4 inches out of the table the pucker factor is much larger than a quarter inch. Even if you’re very slightly closer.
