- This video showcases the processes we used and captures the time we spent hand crafting a ring for a special friend. Forged from our "V2" Stainless Damascus steel and lined in sterling silver- we make every ring entirely in house. This video showcases a bit of the process we use to make each and every ring special.
Rob is a man who's believed in me from the beginning, and he's a man who deserves a ring after years of waiting. My blacksmithing journey began with him giving me what I needed, so it's time we give him one back!

That was very nice of you to do for your friend. I hope he gets to feeling better.
Thanks for showing the process of how you make your rings. Cool video.

Amazing work.
Love seeing these.
Thanks for sharing.
Gman1024 thanks man! I love making them!
That's awesome! I miss going to that old hardware store. Completed lots of cool projects in college with their help!
Impressive! One day I hope to get a rose gold ring from you. Not sure which finger I'd do it for.
Thanks man! I love making them, so lets build you that dream one! Rememer- you can actually come to our shop in Pittsburgh PA and MAKE YOUR OWN RING!

@@TheBarefootForge in due time. I recently lost my job, so big expenses are on hold until I can get a new one lined up. I'm down in TN, so I don't think that would be easy to make happen.
mandolinman2006 I hope im still here for ages to come, and I look forward to building you that dream ring someday! Get back on your feet- we can both be patient.
Good stuff🔥⚒💍
i know you guys were waiting for 1000 subs but i applaud you for just going for it. you will get there!
JR Palm thanks man! We have a bunch of videos we won’t be releasing till we hit that goal- but I certainly plan to keep some content rolling till then.
That’s a really cool ring. I will have a question. How did you get that pattern into the stainless?
I know this is soooo late but Damascus is a technique of layering multiple types of steel together. One type is softer than the others and gets eaten by acid quicker... So when you twist the two steels into bar form then acid etch them you get the pattern
Do you consider yourself a smithy or a jeweler?The end result is remarkably awesome.
Fuck!!! I wish I had a friend like this Badass Dude!!!!
A true craftsman. Please tell me what gauge silver you use. Many thanks.
Pyro Doll 20 gauge in this case (most but not all cases)
Hi very nice work. Do you sell the stainless damascus as a ring blank as I would like to make one for my self.
So, how long does the pickling process take? Hahah jk. That’s a very special gift. Excellent craftsmanship and made with love.
Thanks Hannah!
Every ring is handmade and unique- it's definitely the coolest aspect of my job!
If I may ..what kind of lathe did you employ ?
This is a south bend g26-t
You should do some coffee etchings
I etched my ring then tired to polish it now you cant see the pattern. Does that mean i need a deeper etch?
That's going to depend on what composition the damascus steel you're using is made of. Our material blend is engineered for bold contrast and deep etches- but most of what's on the market.... is not.
What type of acid are you using and what's the material composition of the damascus you're using?
What did the supplier of the material you purchased say about their specific etching instructions?
@@TheBarefootForge
I didn't buy it. my co worker did was making the ring for his son. I was using 25% sulfuric acid.
Какая стоимость изделия?
I'm not sure.
Sorry I forgot to ask did you solder the silver with 60/40 every day solder
Martin Latham nah- we use jewelers “hard” silver soldier and “handy flux”.
The Barefoot Forge thanks
Hi can you please tell me the thickness of silver your using many thanks
We used 20ga sterling silver on this ring.
@@TheBarefootForge thanks for your help. I live in the UK such a shame I can't pop over and have a go..
I know this video is old but how much does it cost for custom makings of rings?
Our rings start at $575 and go up from there. We also offer a unique opportunity for you to come to our shop in Pittsburgh pa and actually MAKE your own ring!
