Ben Builds: DIY Easy Copper and Silver Rings (Custom Patterns Too!)

- Hey guys! My apologies for not posting in almost a month, I've been really busy with schoolwork (IB program) and have been trying to get some cool projects together to show you.
In this video I'm going to show you how I recycled some copper pipe to make some really cool copper rings with custom silver inlay.
In the future some of the projects lined up are: wireless fireworks launcher, MacBook Air screen replacement, and DIY 2W blue laser for less than $50. I hope you're as excited as I am to get into these neat projects!
As always, thanks for supporting my with your views and subscriptions and if you haven't already:

Some good ideas but you can’t solder property. It should have been heated more with flux on the solder wire and permitted capillary action, not a big blob of solder on each side. Just practice it.
Also, Hard solder is what you need for jewelry. Something like a silver based hard solder, quite inexpensive too. Comes in a roll or pre cut chunks.
I've wanted to get into making jewelry but I've never done it before. I think this tutorial will help me on my way. Thanks!
Good stuff. I really like the idea of the groves. Only things I can suggest is to look into polishing an finishing waxes and coats you can put on to give the ring to make it look nicer. Also, look up a few videos on how to solder properly. With a joint like that you shouldn't have to solder both sides separately. You should be able to apply the flux and control the heat such that the solder effectively gets sucked into the gap. You can also use much less solder that way and it makes for a stronger bond.
You are a really really good teacher. Simple, showed what needed to be shown and known, and safe!
I look forward to watching more of Your videos ☆♡☆
Great video, thanks!
There's a product called Renaissance Wax that will take care is that green finger problems. 👍🏼
Sorry for the audio issue at 7:15, but how did you guys like this new voiceover style?
Like it !
So cool man! Get yourself a bench top lathe and mill! I had just finished air force machining training. I was able to make a few titanium rings with some fast boring and parting! Watching your video's is motivating me to learn basic electronics and so forth to be self sustaining in all aspects! Keep up the good work man, you're going places!
Thanks so much!
Solder paste is the solder, it has flux already in it and u don't solder over top of it
will I be able to chip off that massive chunk of solder without a rotary sanding bit
Dear lord, you mentioned not to use too much solder and flux and then proceeded to flux and solder the hell out of it.
Eh, I contradict myself all the time :)
"Do as I say not as I do!" :-)
That is a lot of solder haha
Good job!
love this. thank you. I will have to try!
Great with the detailed explanations. Thank you!
what is your solder 60/40? nice video, you explained it nicely! you can put fingernail clear polish or clear lacquer to keep your finger from turning green. just spray the inside n outside n it will keep it nice for a long time, then u can do it again.
Randy Witcher For this I used silver bearing lead free because I didn't want Pb on my finger for long exposures. I usually use 63/37 though for normal work.
Ben Builds: thank you!
I used to make rings from copper plumbing brass and copper.Which involved anealing. But then I realised it may have arsenic. eg 'arsenic brass'
You would have to wear a respirator mask when soldering. To protect from arsenic fumes.
There is no arsenic in my copper pipes- these are used for drinking water. If you live somewhere with arsenic in your copper pipes, I'd get out now haha.
Bem appreciate the effort
But watch a good video on basic jewelry making.
The part were you were cutting apart the tube made every silversmith in America gringe
As far as soldering it back
The whole point of soldering is to get solder into the seam the big metal vice you were holding your ring in was sucking that out of the copper almost as fast as you were heating it next time try a pair of tweezers on a simple brick put a small peice of solder on top then heat from underneath this will suck the solder into the seam where you want it with a lot less clean up..
Also if you buy some boric acid powder from the pharmacy mix a little with water this makes a great flux thats way easier to use
And more precise than that sticky stuff you had.
Good luck ..
That blob looked like a heart my girlfriend thought that was awesome and thin resin helps prevent your finger from turning green.
Cool video Ben. I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a slight audio mix up starting at 7:15.
Whops.... dang, you're right, sorry!
At roughly 7:00 the 'blob' looks like a little heart. :) BTW - I am a jewellery maker and I marvel at how you made the ring with just regular tools. Well done :)
Also to stop the green marks on your hands (the oxidation) you could put a protective coat of paint on it. Not sure what it's called precisely but there are different brands.
Thanks for the positive comments :) You're right, I did end up putting a coat of clear lacquer on the inside of the ring.
You can avoid having your finger turning green by putting clear nail polish on anything made of copper!
if you let the copper get hotter you used less solder and do it in one step
Nice job
Very clever idea!
Thanks!
Great tutorial!
Cool Ben.. You rock!!
HE WILL BE BREAKING ROCKS ! ;)
In May, BEN Bogard pleaded guilty in federal court to the lesser charge of child exploitation
A man whom authorities believe wanted to commit mass violence after he posted racist, violent rants online was sentenced to six years and eight months in federal prison Monday. Benjamin Bogard, 20, of New Braunfels wasn’t charged with terrorism or hate crimes; instead, he was charged with child pornography when graphic images were found on his cell phone during a counterterrorism investigation into his online postings.
You don’t need that much heat , I could see if it was larger copper but your not
Great job, keep it up!
OOOH HE IS

@@CourtofRecord bruh
@@---Blue you like that huh ,Huh you like that huh huh?
@@CourtofRecord could I hav söm mör plz
Cool!!!
Ben im not sure if you know this but you can use water to cool down the copper lmao
Elijah S. Ice is water 😒
H2O
ice can be wet
Just use a damp cloth to take the heat out once the solder has pooled and solidified then apply a damp cloth to cool it, cooling it with ice after soldering it will fracture the joint long term, if i did that in plumbing it would leak. you must let the solder solidify first.
Howdo you stop the ring from rusting
Copper doesn't rust, it tarnishes. This does inevitably lead to green stains on your skin from the copper oxide. If you don't like it you can coat the inside of the ring in a thin layer of clear paint or even nail polish.
Renaissance wax will protect it and slow down tarnish.
thin layer of silver solder on inside of ring = no green finger
Neat idea, will have to try that sometime, thanks
You definitely need to learn how to solder!
Wearing the copper ring can have some significant health benefits. Thanks!
Eva Bogard or it stains your fingers green!
And green people live on the moon.
@@Cornet_Tooter it doesn't stain your finger but some people may have an allergic reaction to it....and that leaves the skin looking tinted. Nickel is another one that people will react to...a higher rate of people are allergic to nickel than they are copper.
It's not an allergic reaction, it's the copper oxidizing with the oils of your skin. Nickel does the same because of its copper content.
Your so cute !!!
Keep up the good work.
Silver Ag is not solder.
Good idea, but the final sanding was not good enough. Also the ring looks like a simple cooper ring, nothing much interesting or eye-catching :(
clear nail polish or lacquer on the inside of your ring will keep your skin from turning green, not really safe to have solder touching your skin.
I'm using silver lead-free solder so it's perfectly safe. Actually, even if it were leaded solder it should still be fine, it's such a small amount.
Always chamf first
Why? Why not just learn to metalsmith for real and use copper sheet and real silver solder? This pewter solder should not be in contact with skin. There are bazillions of videos of ring making on TH-cam.
I did use silver solder. Do you even know what pewter is?
why can't americans pronounce solder correctly
Same reasons the Brits can't say it correctly.
I get this same comment all the time.
TRy it with less talking sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
OOOOH HE WILLLLLLL
