After watching your videos you have inspired me to make bentwood rings, I just purchased two ring mandrel, two sets of ring size sets, a jewelry hammer from your link, and it was under $30.00 US dollars. I bought from amazon
This is an investment with the sizeable list of equipment required....but, knowing that I'm already looking into cost of a set up. I make pendants and paint on canvas so ring making is another avenue of creativity. You're video was more helpful/inspiring than most, thank you.
I'm a model figure painter usually about 56mm to 90mm scale but I'm always looking to try different crafts - not commercially but as a hobby. and after watching your amazing videos you have inspired me to try ring making as a side hobby to my painting I already own a lot of the tools and products you use including a small electric lathe so thank you for your wonderful videos, I enjoy watching craftsmen at work and your work is amazing.
I have made wood ring for some time now after not having made any kind of jewellery stuff for 25 years, but I really got interested in beginning again after seeing the video where you go full on metal in the beginning. The creativity, passion and sillyness is just the things i connect to. 😊 Thanks for just being you, keep rocking those videoes 🤘🤘🤘
@@boxart5268 think it was £150 from axeminster. They were available on Amazon last I checked. It's been fantastic so far but you do need to do things a little different given how small it is, but if you get the jaw chuck life is easier, I use Dremel polishing wheels in it and alsorts.
Very nice information, Thanks for sharing. :) When I made my first ring I didn't have a lathe but had several power drills with rechargeable battery packs so I just rigged something up to use the drill for working the ring. It worked out just fine. - Heidi
Hi, your video was so informative, thanks for sharing! I know this is an old thread but I had a question regarding the CA finish. Have you ever experienced the CA lifting from the wood surface? I make jewelry as well (not rings, more flat pieces that get inlayed into metal). I've tried starbond things and sanded and buffed it but after scratching the surface it started to lift. Your work is so beautiful and I thought you might have some advice?
Hi Zebrano, i would like to say thank you so much for have been share your amazing videos I have been tried learn with your videos, but I don`t know where I can buy were rings, for after decorate if you can give me that information I will appreciate. Thanksgiving, Paula
I was brought here by the Skull ring from Instructables, I have no desire to pick up another hobby that I'll never do anything with but this was better than most how to's and intro videos to a craft and an excellent intro for others that are looking to pick up this skill. Cheers to you Zebrano.
Any other lathe recommendations? Unfortunately it looks like the one you've posted is no longer being made. I saw the like 60-80 dollar ones, but not sure if they're worth getting even for practice! I've recently subscribed to your channel and I'm loving the tutorials and the pieces you've made! Great easy to follow info! Keep it up!
Hello, I am cutting making a wooden ring using a drill press as a lathe. I'm thinking of buying a lathe, but I can't afford a mini lathe. Do you know anything about those little bead lathes?
Zebrano Wood Craft If I am only making wooden rings (not turning large items like wooden bowls and whatnot), and I'm only doing this as a side hobby, is a bead lather fine?
Hey 😀Thank you for this great video. I am slowly gathering information to teach my guy wood turning. While I have 70% of the items - the list you have provided has pointed me in the right direction. My lil guy has been extremely inspired by your video and amazing work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. I do have one question - is there much difference over a scroll saw v's a bandsaw? Bandsaws are quite substantial and i'd need to rejig my workshop to accommodate one v's a benchtop scroll saw.
Hi, I have been wanting to get in to ring making for sometime now and I love the idea of taking something from nature and crafting it into something beautiful that people can keep with them all the time. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Is it possible for me to get in touch with you if I need any help ? A big thanks for all the vids you put out.
Great work my man. You already inspired me to give selling my rings a go ages back . I use a drill and rotary tool atm lol. But plan to use what money comes in from it improve my set up. Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to the next vid.
Ged Reilly sorry for the late reply man. The PDF will be part of the online course I’m working on. Might make a long blog post with this content soon but in the meantime all the tools are in the description 👊🏽
Hi Dan. I have just bought a used Clarke 300 lathe identical to your own. Want to get some tools for it, what size shaft did you find best for both the indexed carbide tipped tools and for the HSS tools? I obviously want to ensure I get the right sizes. Thanks...
So I am having difficulties finding burnishing cream anywhere on the internet where it can ship to Dubai. From your meguair’s comment I am a little hesitant to go with it, any suggestions?
Brilliant video as always. Could do with some Canadian amazon links if possible. The US links are great and for the most part, they ship to Canada, but the exchange, import taxes and shipping are killers. NAFTA my butt. Not much 'free' comes northward.
Ah man it took me so long to find the US ones I really don’t think I’ll get to adding Canadian links for a long time. I’d recommend logging in to the Canadian Azn and searching for the stuff manually. Sorry dude I’d rather be honest and just say I won’t have time for ages due to wedding season coming up!
@@ZebranoWoodCraft Just a tip for all the other Canadians out there - I usually just replace 'com' with 'ca' and most times the product is stocked on amazon canada 😀
Hi. You make very cool rings. I often do myself the same. Can you help me? I made rings out of bright veneer. Veneer layers are always visible on the side. How to make them invisible, like it's a whole tree? Sorry for my bad English
Declan Campbell haha mine is a Clarke metalworker and it is indeed rubbish. I’d spend some money on a metal lathe tbh - don’t get a cheap one as they are likely to be junk (like mine). Don’t really know what to recommend - maybe Axminster? I know they have some decent engineering lathes.
@@ZebranoWoodCraft well most of my machining is done in my workplace, all i have at home is an ancient emco unimat. literally anything would be an upgrade from that (unless youre creating extremely fine pieces). how often do you have problems with yours and what problems are they? i could probably do a little work on the emco but the poor thing would stall on anything that work hardens. is yours the clarke cl430? i didnt think that was half bad
I see many people using thin wood sheets, like you. I find using Block of Wood i have more work space, and it's harder to make mistakes, but it's just me...
kozhitnrun sorry bro - there should be no problem sourcing wood veneer in Canada. Try searching for Wood veneer on Amazon or Ebay, you can normally pick up marquetry packs or veneer bundles pretty cheap. There’s a list of suppliers here you could also try: www.marquetrysociety.ca/VENEERS.HTML I think you could even find bundles on Etsy.com. Hope this helps!
Good Morning! I like your rings very much but I am Brazilian and my English is not good. Could you release the subtitles in Portuguese? Thank you very much in advance.
this is by far the best beginners bent rings tutorial
TH-cam, you did it again. Something I wouldn’t have searched for but yet really interesting
This took a long time to make the video, line up the links, make the list etc. Thank you sir, you've won my sub.
Can u make a video on how to finish ur bentwood rings using a lathe?

Very nicely done and I know I need to buy some of the stuff you listed off haha 😄👍

where do you get your stones for making the crushed stone inlays?
Amazing video man love the effort and the craft
I really appreciate this video, thanks for passing the knowledge on
Your videos are fantastic and very informative; thanks for putting all this work in!
for those with limited space to work, i got a proxxon db250 wood lathe, compact and suprisingly powerful.
I have been looking at Lathes and I don’t want to spend too much for my first lathe. How much did your Proxxon cost? Many thanks.

God will bless you. I'm crying cause i just spent money buying a bunch on stuff before seeing this video.

Do a video on how to ship products
Hello, I am cutting making a wooden ring using a drill press as a lathe. I'm thinking of buying a lathe, but I can't afford a mini lathe. Do you know anything about those little bead lathes?
austin mcrayon I’d save up and a get a mini lathe dude. They are much more versatile and will allow you to do better work.
Zebrano Wood Craft If I am only making wooden rings (not turning large items like wooden bowls and whatnot), and I'm only doing this as a side hobby, is a bead lather fine?

Read the email on this, glad to see the video. Great job!
Sweet man, thank you - this was legitimately the hardest video I've ever made hahah. Took so long to put all the info together!
Oops one quick thing. Your link for the US chuck actually goes to a lathe.
Robert Thomas ah dammit - so many links! I’ll correct it when I get home tomorrow 👍🏽😁
so good. with much thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing - one question if I may: How do you know what size to make the ring? Really enjoy the humor effect!!
Thank you! For sizing I use a mandrel and ring gauges. I advise customers to go to a few jewellery stores to get sized up.

Stephen Rogers cool man feel free to drop me a dm on insta or leave comments on my videos. I’m always happy to help 👊🏽
do you think that 750rpm would be slow enough for the w815 lathe so that it doesn't spill everywhere a CA coat?
Great work my man. You already inspired me to give selling my rings a go ages back . I use a drill and rotary tool atm lol. But plan to use what money comes in from it improve my set up. Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to the next vid.
Good luck with it dude! My workshop grows a little bit everyday (I think I’ll run out of space soon haha)

Hey mate, for bent wood rings don’t worry about the layers being visible on the sides - I think that looks cool 😎
@@ZebranoWoodCraft thanks)
what lathe do you use for metal turning? it seems to be fairly small but most of the smaller ones ive come across seem to be quite rubbish

Hi, I like your job.
How do you calculate the price of your rings?
He did a video on pricing his stuff.
Where is the pdf
