"This is it. This is the weirdest thing I've ever done. I've peaked." Immediately I'm debating sending you snake bones or iridescent beetle elytra to stick in resin and do something wacky with! 😂
After mentioning micarta being the Lasagne of craftwork, I'd LOVE to see a Lasagne themed micarta project. Dark red coloured card layered with yellow and cream coloured card in the classic Lasagne pattern.
Maybe each 'layer' could be multiple different colours. Various reds with brown and maybe even dark greens to simulate meat sauce. Yellow with lighter and darker shades for the pasta layer
Glad you're over the initial being creeped out by the material. When you mentioned putting it under a blacklight, I had the thought about how Scorpions fluoresce also and would be interesting to see, but maybe that would also have the same creep factor.
@@willburke does a dried scorpion still fluoresce? If yes, then several options for encapsulating the exoskeleton of the scorpion. Either whole (many of them) or crushed / pieces.
@@blaircox1589 Yes, I can verify that it actually does still fluoresce, since I own a real scorpion that's been encased inside of a resin half-sphere. Side note: a similar paperweight can often be seen floating around the scene of 'Tiny Desk' concerts. The trinket was sold in those 'Natural Wonders' stores of the late 90's shopping mall.
I think both rings *turned* out *striking*.😏🤭 Just watching you use that square silicone mold set for the micarta has me thinking....a see through snake skin box. 😱 You could put things inside it & it would be like looking inside a snakes belly. That'd be a helluva candy dish.
That would be soooo Coool! You could do it as a bowl or just cast skin panels and make a fun box... or a skin tube w some lights inside for a nightlight...
I have always assumed making rings would be difficult, giving their tiny size and required attention to detail. You made it look tons easier than I dreamt it could possibly be. I have watched you making things without the metal cores, and well .... Looks hard. But with the ring cores, it takes away a lot of the guessing of sizes, and half the sanding. I may just have to give these a try. Thank you for sharing.
Now I'm quite curious to see some "fish skin" micarta and resin pour. The metallic grey scale should give a cool effect to it! The micarta ring looks quite cool, as you said, like a cracked quartz stone!
I have to admit, i was a bit nervous about the finished product while you were turning the snakeskin ring, but it looks fantastic once it's finished. The micarta looks really complex and interesting, and I think it made for a very attractive ring!
I wonder how the snakeskin ring would look with the micarta stacked the other way so the scale pattern would be on the outside rather than the scale edges showing! But they both looked very cool!
I feel like the result would probably look really similar, the ring is so delicate you might not be able to see the scale pattern too much even if it was facing the surface, plus they are stacked and transparent
Stacking (glueing) them around a cylender would work, but would entail more work to do, and more of a mess. It would give an outward facing pattern, even if it wasn't clear due to the layers.
Love them both, be aware that if you leave the crayon ring in the sun, the crayon can melt. Happend to me with a bezel necklace and the whole piece came out.
Thanks for answering a concern I immediately had with that ring! 😁 It’s beautiful, but I live in the desert and my mind instantly wondered what would happen if I ever left the ring in my car on accident?!?! Yikes! Lol
I’m not really a ring person but I appreciate the beauty of both pieces and the snake skin one has the added appeal because of the effort it took to make it. I’ve often wondered how the rings are made so thank you so much for the education today. I enjoyed this as always. Thanks for entertaining me again Peter 😀👍
The snakeskin does remind me of rutilated quartz, I love the effect it creates in the resin. Another "let's put something weird in resin" success, Peter!
Your reservations were understandable but heck yeah that came out nice These videos are always worth the wait, truly one of the best craftspeople on TH-cam :)
I've got to give the edge to the crayon ring, mostly because I can see more potential for future projects in it. Also, the crayon bud vase is one of my favorite projects of yours so I'm happy to see the return of that medium.
Could you make the micarta by wrapping the skin around something round and turning it so that you get the full snakeskin pattern? Thats what I thought you would do originally.
I love them both, but I ADORE that snake skin micarta. It's gorgeous. With the materials, process, and effort in mind, as well as the end result, that is one EXPENSIVE ring. Beautiful and incredibly high class. Definitely looks like a beautiful gemstone. Jaw dropping in its novelty and appearance. That is some high society Slytherin Chic. I want one.
You’ve come such a long ways, I haven’t tuned in in a while and seeing how professional this was and the explaining of the tools really seemed to polish your videos . Not that there was anything wrong with the old ones, I just really like how this one was done! Also, I love the snakeskin ring !
SSSSSSSSSUPER job Peter! I always enjoy watching you go through the scales and not let anything constrict you along your journey. That's all I got but seriously, great job!
I'm glad to know Rockler has ring kits! I liked both rings although neither is really my style. I have some pretty good ideas for what I would embed if I were to make rings with the kit!
I love the ring! I think it might also be cool to turn the blank in some different orientations to expose different parts of the shed patterns! I kinda want to try this lol
Seeing how you reacted to the bag of snake skin, have you ever thought about making a ring from crushed scorpion sheds. They also have fluorescence in their skin. It might make for an interesting project.
They are both cool in their own way. What I really like is how you are willing to tackle all sorts of "non mainstream" projects and see how they turn out.
Hey Peter, would you be able to maybe up the volume on you talking vs the background? For those of us with hearing problems it's a bit low, I know you can't do anything in this video but for the future, thank you! I love your videos I always come here when I'm stressed and need to relax
The sssssnake skin is for sure my favorite, but the crayon one turned out much better than I expected. The way you were melting it I thought for sure all the colours would simply blend into one colour, but it actually turned out quite well. Good job on both of these! I would wear both. Also, making rings looks SO MUCH EASIER with ring kit. I've always wanted to make rings but thought the whole melting metal/shaping thing would be about impossible or at the very least incredibly difficult to learn. As someone else said, the ring kit removes all the sizing guesswork, and the way you did it seems like way easier. Will be giving this a try!
The snake skin ring is sooooo cool! It's got so much depth to it! One thing with the crayon ring you might do in the future is using CA glue. That's Patrick Adair's thing and the ring I have from him has held up pretty well
Im actually VERY impressed with the snake skin ring! Like you Im sure, at some point I was worried about the integrity of the ring as you were shaping it down. Im glad you were able to create a finished product though!

I've "loved" all the comments I've found with snake puns! You all are quite impressive! Thank you for the help!
The pun you were trying to think of was just snaking right by you.
I expected you to say that when you first pulled the skin out of the box, it had you rattled.
All of the puns keep slitheRING right by you!
"Snuns"
Snake you for sharing this with us
"This is it. This is the weirdest thing I've ever done. I've peaked." Immediately I'm debating sending you snake bones or iridescent beetle elytra to stick in resin and do something wacky with! 😂
beetle elytra is sooo pretty
Please please please do
I third the beetle elytra. Amazing colors are possible.
oh yes the beetle thing would look cool!
Thank you for teaching me a new word: "elytra!" :) Neat!
You really SHED some light on the potential uses of snakeskin.

Well, you can just make lasagne with a resin instead of sauce. Would make a cool blank. Thanks for the idea)
Just use actual lasagna noodles and a tomato red 'sauce' resin stacked with a cheese resin.
I tried to think of a snake pun that I could “slither” in, but I just couldn’t “rattle” one up. Love the video!!
Glad you're over the initial being creeped out by the material. When you mentioned putting it under a blacklight, I had the thought about how Scorpions fluoresce also and would be interesting to see, but maybe that would also have the same creep factor.
*deep breath*
OK. That would be sorta neat. :)
@@peterbrownwastaken I doubt you'd be able to turn it into easier to ignore shapes like the snake shed being effectively paper
The snake skin is still kind of creepy though...

The micarta ring looks quite cool, as you said, like a cracked quartz stone!
Glad you were able to snake your way through the pitfalls of this project and didn't get rattled which could have bit you in the asp...
@Terry, really piling on the puns there! 😂
Sponsor: Hey, show how good our tools are at cutting stuff
Peter: I'm gonna use it to turn crayons!
never change
Don't forget it was also a HIGH SPEED tool he used at a low speed
@@Crow_Smith on a material he had just used his finger nail to trim the edges.
The scale of this project came out very awesome :D
I have to admit, i was a bit nervous about the finished product while you were turning the snakeskin ring, but it looks fantastic once it's finished. The micarta looks really complex and interesting, and I think it made for a very attractive ring!
Thank you!
I wonder how the snakeskin ring would look with the micarta stacked the other way so the scale pattern would be on the outside rather than the scale edges showing! But they both looked very cool!
Yeah that was my first thought but I think then you wouldn't be making micarta
I feel like the result would probably look really similar, the ring is so delicate you might not be able to see the scale pattern too much even if it was facing the surface, plus they are stacked and transparent
Stacking (glueing) them around a cylender would work, but would entail more work to do, and more of a mess. It would give an outward facing pattern, even if it wasn't clear due to the layers.
I really like the look of the snake skin ring. It totally has the quartz look.
Love them both, be aware that if you leave the crayon ring in the sun, the crayon can melt. Happend to me with a bezel necklace and the whole piece came out.
Thanks for answering a concern I immediately had with that ring! 😁
It’s beautiful, but I live in the desert and my mind instantly wondered what would happen if I ever left the ring in my car on accident?!?! Yikes! Lol
I wonder how different it would have turned out if the layers were wrapped around a central point instead of a flat stack.
Great idea!
I like how you always say “We” even though you do all the work. Classic group project energy
I’m not really a ring person but I appreciate the beauty of both pieces and the snake skin one has the added appeal because of the effort it took to make it.

These videos are always worth the wait, truly one of the best craftspeople on TH-cam :)
You’ve scaled up in the crazy amazing things you make with what odd materials you get a hold of. I was drawn to the crayon ring the most
"I can tell by the racing of my heart that it is time to switch over to sandpaper" 😂😂
Hello beautiful how are you doing hope everything is going well with you?
Both of these rings are beautiful! As a snake owner I especially love the effort you put into the micarta, amazing work as always!
I like them both! I wonder what dyed snakeskin would look like on one of your projects. I just pictured a snakeskin resin clock hanging over a bar. 😄
Looks awesome. I have saved up my snakes shedding and this gives me a few ideas for them.
Your videos have "slithered" into my heart
Very cool!! 👍 I like color, so the crayon is more my speed. 🌈 The snakeskin would make an incredibly awesome table top if you had more!! 🐍
Time to dye a bunch of the skin. Different colors. Set in clear resin. Maybe a lamp shade.
I've got to give the edge to the crayon ring, mostly because I can see more potential for future projects in it. Also, the crayon bud vase is one of my favorite projects of yours so I'm happy to see the return of that medium.
Could you make the micarta by wrapping the skin around something round and turning it so that you get the full snakeskin pattern? Thats what I thought you would do originally.
When you were using the fish gravel as weight, I thought you were making a blank for the second ring and about to fill that cube with resin too.
I love them both, but I ADORE that snake skin micarta. It's gorgeous. With the materials, process, and effort in mind, as well as the end result, that is one EXPENSIVE ring. Beautiful and incredibly high class. Definitely looks like a beautiful gemstone. Jaw dropping in its novelty and appearance. That is some high society Slytherin Chic. I want one.

SSSSSSSSSUPER job Peter! I always enjoy watching you go through the scales and not let anything constrict you along your journey. That's all I got but seriously, great job!
lol nice try. I guess making snakeskin jewelry brings out the real snakes
The snake skin ring is my fav of the two! The quartz-like pattern is fascinating!
Okay that snake skin micarta actually looks really cool! It's almost like a cracked stone aesthetic! That would be a really cool ring to sell!
I think both are striking! I think a bit of translucent dye with the snake shed would produce some really cool results.
Hello beautiful how are you doing with your family?
I love both of them but being a snake mom of 4 I am in love with the skin ring.
Hello beautiful how are you doing hope everything is going well with you?
"little sliver of metal" the snake pun was right there and you missed it. slither of metal
Definitely the snakeskin for a more formal occasion and the crayon ring for hitting the cub 👌 great video!
I liked both, but my favorite is the Crayon. Great job!
I like the snake skin one, has a good rock like feel to it. Great project!
I like them both, but especially the crayons. What a fun way to elevate such a humble craft tool
the snakeskin really looks like some kind of crystal. super cool.
Very interesting result with both rings. The snake micarta one is my favorite, but both are very nice.
the snakeskin ring turned out beautifully. both rings look great
I LOVE the snake skin! I now want one. Beautiful work as always.
The crayon ring almost looks like a galaxy. I'd like to see your attempt at a galaxy something in resin
Oooo the snake skin ring is so pretty under blacklight.
I enjoy the snake skin one more! Looks really cool. You're right about the marble like texture. It also reminds me of camo.
I'm glad to know Rockler has ring kits! I liked both rings although neither is really my style. I have some pretty good ideas for what I would embed if I were to make rings with the kit!
Nicely done! 👏👏
I think the snake ring deserves another chance, stacking the skin "around" the ring.
You cutting the snakeskin... that's some ASMR right there!
I love the ring! I think it might also be cool to turn the blank in some different orientations to expose different parts of the shed patterns! I kinda want to try this lol
These both turned out beautifully.
Lots of great "turning" channels, but this one is tops for me. Cheers!
That ring turned out awesome!!
I do like both rungs but the snake skin one is my favorite!
They both turned out really cool looking.
The snakeskin ring is pretty. The wet snakeskin almost looks like a fabric of gemstones. It is very unique.
The snake pun you were looking for is "I'm making a slither-ring."
Best one :D
The snakeskin micarta looks awesome! You should definitely do some more of that!
I like the looks of the crayon... but is it soft?
nope. After the resin, it's a very hard surface.
Seeing how you reacted to the bag of snake skin, have you ever thought about making a ring from crushed scorpion sheds. They also have fluorescence in their skin. It might make for an interesting project.
I love that snakeskin ring, the final result is really beautiful.
Oh man I LOVE the crayon ring, something about the fun and silly colors with cold hard steel makes me happy.
I love that snake skin ring! It looks so beautiful !
Love the look of the snake skin micarta.
Love the snake skin one more but they both look great . Amazing project aways Peter
Glad you worked past you apprehension of the snake skin. I prefer the snake skin ring but both look great.
From slithering snake to slithe-ring
Well done
Snake skin turned out much better than I thought it would. Seems old Peter had his doubts as well haha
No Snake puns, but Fangs for making this
They are both cool in their own way. What I really like is how you are willing to tackle all sorts of "non mainstream" projects and see how they turn out.
Both rings turned out beautiful

I love both!!! I think I like the snake skin -slightly- better but it's a 10 and the crayon is like a 9.5. Very fun!
They turned out great. Love the look of them both!
Snakeskin, every time! Awesome video, Peter! 👍👍👍
Next is scorpion skin- it glows beautifully under the black light.
*deep calming breaths*
I thought for sure when you first showed the source material that nothing would ever get made from it, thank you for proving me wrong.
The snake skin ring is sooooo cool! It's got so much depth to it!
One thing with the crayon ring you might do in the future is using CA glue. That's Patrick Adair's thing and the ring I have from him has held up pretty well
Well it's definitely not slithering back into that skin despite you ironing it out.
Loved the video and project. Great work.
Great job on the snakeskin micarta fangs for sharing.
Sees title. Skin instantly crawls. Thanks Peter!
Thank you , Peter .
🐺
I like them both, but the snakeskin ring is stunning!
the snakeskin micarta is very much my sort of look - very, very pretty
Im actually VERY impressed with the snake skin ring! Like you Im sure, at some point I was worried about the integrity of the ring as you were shaping it down. Im glad you were able to create a finished product though!
I love how well both of those turned out!
Honestly these looks super cool! Amazing job.
1:06 It's a good sign that even after all this time, your wife is still impressed by the size of your snake.
Archer: "Phrasing!"
I would never *hiss* an opportunity to watch you make micarta :3
Guess the snake puns just “slithered” right past you.. 😂 love your work brother!
These are both really really cool, I enjoy watching you making cool things :)
Love how the snake ring turned out!
Those are both very impressive! I personally prefer the snakeskin ring as the design suits my tastes better but the crayon ring was super cool too!
I was about to take a nap when my phone vibrated and I got the notification. Subscribed gang!! 🥳🎉
this ring is a nice SCALE to it
