Bro your maths is fine. Easy to understand in every video
You've been a big inspiration for me to start making jewelry, from simple copper rings right down to my latest twisted wire cabochon. I cannot wait to try making this ring!
Beautiful! Loving your videos.
Great !! Not everyone can do this. You are blessed with this skills.

Your creations are stunning!
You are a great teacher, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so generously!
Agree
I like the way you explain things and easy to understand formulas.
I''m retired now. I have a 100 things today and I know I won't even get half of them done before I'm pushing daisies. So....I'm going to give them all up and hire contractors to finish them. So, I'll have time for my New Hobby, Ring Making!! What a fantastic video! Best one of the night and if this works out right, you'll have saved the rest of our Marriage. THank you thank you!!
YOUR Clip are clear explanation.
Love it.
such a beautiful ring,I want one.
Thank you for this video, a beautiful ring made with love and a great deal of care.
Well thank you for the kind words and for taking to time to watch my work.😁
god that ring is gorgeous. thanks for the in depth look into the process. i've been looking into the best ways to make inlay rings without buying blanks, and making them more personalized.
Gorgeous!
Thank you, I have a better way of doing this now and some other things like this that I will make videos on soon. 😄👍
Randy, I like the Amazon shopping list. It's extremely helpful for anyone who wants to try this stuff. You are awakening my inner artist. Also, lol.. I miss Hockey..... Z
I'm not sure what to suggest. What you are doing is so creative, I don't have anything to add, but I really like it.
Thanks for the video. It is a beautiful ring. That lathe sure saves a lot of time.
Thank you and yeah it's was worth every dollar 😊
Amazing as always I will have to watch this again. Beautiful work and well done video
😁👍
Beautiful work. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks 😁
Thank you so much.
Man, your good! I learned so much from this video. I wish I can take a class to get some hands on experience. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks so much, i learned a lot from this, good camera work too. Beautiful ring.
Well thank you 😊 and I'm happy it was helpful
Thank you so much for this video. Very cool
I have most of the tools just need to get busy...Thank you for the awesome video~!!
No problem and let me know if you need any help.
Total Awesomeness>>>
Well I'm happy that you liked it. 😁

Thank you 😁👍
Good job brother, from Raden Rothman Singapore
Thank you 😁
Excellent camera work, good sound, makes such a difference. Wonderful ring, so nice with Damascus band, really sets the Abalone off to best degree. You are such a craftsman, good tutor too. Thankyou 🌟
Thank you 😁
I am Japanese. I don't understand English so I use a translator to speak.I like crafts very much, but your crafts are very helpful.Please keep doing a good job!
Thank you very much. I wish I could afford to translate my work because I would like more people to be able to understand and learn from it 😁
@@GomeowCreations Thank you for your reply!You don't have to spend your time translating!I want to study English more and be able to talk without using a translator!I was able to convey your kindness. Good luck without getting hurt!
Awesome work just love your videos
Thank you and thanks for watching them 😁👍
This is absolutely magnificent 😍🔥🔥😍
Thank you very much 😊
These are beautiful
Thanks
Many thanks indeed. I’ve now watched many of your videos and subbed your channel. I’m a metal detectorist in the UK and I recover lots of silver coins which in fold into rings to sell. Recently I’ve been experimenting with new ideas and you’ve been a great help.
Well thank you and let me know how it turns out if you make one. 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations Well check this junk out. It's on my facebook today. It's two days work and see if you can spot the TWO items which are based on your tutorials. Remember it's rubbish I dig up metal detecting - but I think it's passable. Let me know what you think, or message me via FB. Cheers my friend. facebook.com/photo?fbid=2757897377789603&set=a.1375683529344335
I enjoy watching your videos
Thank you very much for watching 😊
beautiful workmanship
Thank you very much 😊
I am happy that you were guests on Stone Cold Countertops Mike was like a little boy in a candy store, he had much to teach you and you had much to teach him. It was an amazing time for the two of you. I hope you both get something out of it because I did.
Such AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL work!!! Thanks for sharing!🤗
😄 well thank you for watching 😁 👍
Superb!
I realize im late to comment on this, but a couple of ideas, one, use a pair of V blocks to rotate the mandrel in instead of the flat piece you demonstrated with, V block will keep it from rolling off and it will remain centered. The other idea is when you are sanding on the flat surface with the wet paper, instead of going back and forth make figure 8's and rotate the piece 1/4, then figure 8, rotate 1/4 turn. Get the idea! Its how we use to lap pressure seals and its a good way to maintain even sanding. Good video, thank you.
That ❝𝒂𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆❞ laminate you're using looks like Paua Abalone from New Zealand. I've used it to make the scales for a couple of folding knives I made several years ago. Beautiful stuff! 👍
Lovely :) Thanks for sharing ;)
You can fix up the concave you get with the ring.
Just move the ring slightly down the mandrel and hit the ring with your mallet dead on.
It should straighten up the concave an save you some filing.
Awesome
Thank you 😁
A note for all to pay attention to. Sheets on the abalone inlay are often used for things like fishing rods. Try getting some of the super thin stuff from Mud Hole. They are extra flexible, and adhesive backed for easy application.
Other than that, the issue with it being "too brittle" to bend was because you may not have heated it up sufficiently.
Well I will have to try that out and thank you for all that info 😁👍
Dear g.c. hi where did u buy your lathe? Love your vids
Choctawman
@@monroeboone4667 Lathes are generally quite expensive, not only for the tool itself but the attachments, accessories and tools required to make the most of your investment.
That having been said, you do NOT need a lathe just to try some things out when just starting. An electric drill with a keyless chuck can be obtained pretty cheaply. Buy one with a cord, not a battery powered one. Get zip ties so you can secure the trigger in the on position.
In your chosen work space, you can set up your tool and your available tools. Use your drill to make a hole as centered as you can in a length of square stock pine or light hardwood. Insert a piece of round stock steel or aluminum into the hole that has been roughed up, along with a generous amount of epoxy or superglue, and allow to set.
Secure your drill in an upright position, using padded jaws on a vice, or clamp it to your workstation. Inset the round metal stock in the drill, with the wood. Using a zip tie, fix the drill to the on position, and use sandpaper backed by a flat board to keep the cone smooth. Use this to create a narrow tapered cone which will be your ring mandrel. Progress through the grits til you reach 400 grit and then seal and finish the taper with CA and apply wax after finish sanding. (Car wax - prevents superglue from sticking so much)
You can now use this wooden mandrel in the drill as a makeshift lathe by simply jamb fitting your ring on the mandrel. You can help keep it secured by applying a few layers of painter's tape on the narrow side of the mandrel to keep the ring in place while you are working.
Harbor Freight has a cheap corded drill for around 13 dollars, you can easily run it for 10 minutes at a time at medium high speed for this type of purpose. Allow it to cool between uses for better longevity. This setup is simple and effective for merely sanding or rough filing of small items and mini woodturbines. The use of a tool rest or lathe tools is not required. Use a slow speed while sanding or applying a finish or sealer like superglue, fast speed for polishing and final buffing or waxing.
thanks great video , I couldnt find where you make the outer wire rings

بسیار عالی👌👏👍
Desde colombia en españoles gracias .
so cool
Thank you 😊
Muito lindo seu trabalho!!!! Gostaria de saber qual o nome do líquido trasparente que vc usou, o que é o líquido? DESDE JA MUITO OBRIGADO
Thanks a bunch. :)
No problem 😊
Thanks for your video’s they’re great. How do you decide what size to make your rings? Or are they orders?
Hi there, love your videos, can you please tell me the name of the black glue that you used? Also the polishing equipment?
Lovely result! I was wondering about pickling the ring with the mixed metal edge bands attached - how come you don't end up with the silver being copper plated - or would that only happen if there was iron in the pickle pot?
Yeah, that only happens if you have steel/iron in the pickle pot. You can also get copper on your brass after heating it and leaving it in the pickle for too long. It will start to eat/remove the zinc from it so it will just leave the copper behind. To fix that you can just sand it a little or use a mix of hydrogen peroxide with white vinegar 1:1 This will eat the top layer of copper, just don't leave it in too long because it will just keep eating the copper.
great videos,where do you get the silver shhets and abalone veneer?
I was taught that to choose the correct saw blade you need to have at least 3 saw blade teeth covering the thickness of the metal you are cutting. I only mention this for those who are unaware of how to choose the correct saw blade
In regards to the mother of pearl strip breaking.....Would it be possible to make small cuts across the back of the sheet strip then bend the entire strip into a cirlcle? I have done this with thick steel and it might work.
This video was so helpful. You really went into detail on all the small things other videos seem to take for granted. I have experience making wood pens and have decent skills with CA finishes, so making a ring seems like a great next project. I have a Sherline lathe so all I need to do is get setup for silver soldering. I guess I can cut my teeth on a stainless inlay blank to get started. Pricing out silver, I think I will buy copper first and practice with that until I feel confident enough to risk some better material.
When using stone inlay, will it dull a carbide insert very quickly to level it off or should I use something else for that?
It's really going to depend on your stone that your are using to be honest. For the most part I use softer stones and they down seem to do anything to the tooling.
@@GomeowCreations Great, thank you!
hello. do you have video about how to make abalon shell to flat plate?
The ring is absolutely beautiful you are a very good teacher however you didn't show us what pickle juice is and I would like to know what that is thanks what an awesome tutorial thank you so much
I suggest you measure the inside if the sizer instead of the outside the mandrel. You'll be far more accurate measuring the ID of a cylinder than the OD of taper. You can see in the video it was .83 when you took it off and .75 when you clamped it up so I'm guessing it doesnt matter that much.
0.6 is your material thickness and you need to double it because you are working with diameter. 1.2 was what you needed. 3.159 x 20.95 for the OD.
have you considered going to flux core silver solder? it would decrease you going back and forth soldering and pickling
Not all silver solder is the same. if it has a flux cord it is not meant to be used on jewelry, it is only 3% silver and the silver solder that you want to use is 75% silver. also that stuff melts at 400 degrees and the silver solder you want to use melts at 1200 degrees.😁👍
Beautiful ring as always brother, I was wondering if you made a video on how you created your own damascus style side strips?
Thanks and I have made a video about this th-cam.com/video/GozErD8Z930/w-d-xo.html
@@GomeowCreations Sweet, thanks... I love your work.
Thanks and if you have any questions feel free to contact me. 😁👍
Wow ! 😗😗
😁
Beautiful ring! Where do you purchase a mini lathe and abalone sheets?
I made a list of item I use that happens to have the mini lathe and abalone sheets in it amzn.to/2YOY54n
I got my lathe used so that is also an option. 😀
@GomeowCreations Hi! Just wanted you to know that actually the length is calculated pi x inner diameter + 2 x thickness.
So: 3.14 x 19.75 + 2x 0.6 = 63.215. Well, that's one way to do it, but you can't multiply the thickness with pi, and you have to add 2x the thickness (as its 2 times in the circle), or it will give you false outcome. 😊
You have a wonderful way of explaining and walking us through the process. Which TA glue do you use for gluing the abalone down...the thin or thick? Thanks so much.
Well thanks and I use thick and med CA glue for most things. Thin is just a little too thin for the abalone. I'm working with Starbond.com now and you can use my code GomeowCreations to save some money on some CA glue. 😊👍
GomeowCreations I am going to order a few things and wondered how to do it to benefit you. I also need the abalone sheet which takes me to amazon but doesn’t show up in a cart I have started. But I will use your link so hopefully it works.
Well thank you for wanted to help me out as you buy your materials. If you need new links or any any other questions feel free to let me know
This is beautiful, and it's so fascinating to watch the process. But it seems like you ended up pretty much losing the tri-color effect of the wire you made? (which was gorgeous, btw) Would you suggest just using a solid color wire instead? Tfs! Love your videos!
You do lose the colors after a fresh polish but they will change color a bit over time and be very visible.
This is amazing you really inspire me to get into jewelry but I don’t have any supplies stores near me:( but anyway amazing vid like always
Are you in the USA?
Yes sir I’m only 17 but I’m looking into this as a career sir.
Well for supplies you can get stuff from your local hardware store and I have an Amazon link in the description of the video that will show you all the stuff I us 😁👍
Awesome I appreciate it sir and keep making great videos
Will do and thank you for watching 😁👍
Great video!
Also, what’s the difference between using that mesh vs using a soldering block + annealing pan?
The mesh allows me to heat stuff from the underside and it still is supported all over. The solder block only allows me to heat it from the top.
Also another questions. I just ordered a ring mandrel and it was covered with grease. Do you know what that’s about?
Yes, it is so it will not rust in shipping and storage. You can clean it off with a rag and alcohol.
What is CA glue please.
nice
Thanks
oo
GomeowCreations, if you were to sell this how much would you price it for? Thus, From the resources you have used (yourself) allowing you to make this ring?
-Might, I add you are extremely talented, in explaining the step-by-steps functions of the tasks at hand. Well, laired out the fine dimension/demonstrations! for a laymen such as us...
Prices depend on a lot of things and everyone wants little custom things changed so it is really up in the air 😅 also thank you for your kind words 👍
Hey, what material ist that Hammer Made of? Thnx
Can you submerge the abalone in water to make it more pliable?
Do you have a video on how you made your mokume-gane wire please?
th-cam.com/video/GozErD8Z930/w-d-xo.html
Heyy, please aswer me... Existe some acid what use for Paint the chapa like you show in the vídeo?
I don't understand what your are asking I'm sorry, can you phrase it in a different way?
To anneal I mark with a sharpie... Once the sharpie disappears it's time to quench
This is going to be the weirdest question ever probably, but with cuts like this, why use jeweler's saw, which is basically a very fine bladed coping saw, rather than a scroll saw with a metal blade and a guide or something similar?
I get not using snips, which would bend and warp your metal, but I feel like there's small scale power tools that could make the lines straighter and for basic shapes, done quicker.
Also, with the use of the lathe, it seems weird to use the cutter when a pierce of sandpaper on a block would suffice.
I should say, my questions come from more of a woodworking background, so it's similar tools on a much smaller scale and I'm just curious. I know there's got to be a rationale behind the tool usage.
Can you heat abalone veneer up in boiling water? help it shape and bend more without breaking? If seen it done a bunch with wood and cellulose sheets to bend into shape
So yes and no.
The stuff I have was made for doing flat inlays so it's just too thick for doing that. I know they have some thinner stuff but sadly I didn't have any when I made this. 😅 I'm do another video with the right stuff some day.
Good job, I'm sure u noticed that next time choose the pieces of Abalone more carefully!
Am I correct that the glue over the shell will polish so that the glue looks clear and shiny? I'm doing a couple tiny pendant pieces and the glue has dried to a matte but I haven't filed or sanded yet.
You are right and I'm going to be doing another video using resin soon 😁
@@GomeowCreations Thanks for such a speedy reply!! I watched the video again. Thanks so much for your time and these videos!!!
Great video. What flux do you use? It looks really wet and pastey.
I use handy flux. I add water to it to get it how I want it. 😁👍
GomeowCreations thanks. Thats what i use but i find it pretty dry. Now i know i can add water. 👍
Let me know how that works for you.
Your bands are beautiful I think this one is my favorite! I would love to purchase this gorgeous band but unfortunately I would have to get married to wear it and I don’t plan on ever making that mistake again! I love your work it’s beautiful!
It might just be a millineal thing however you can totally wear rings without getting married. But be sure to wear it on any finger except the ring fingers!
Even on the ring fingers. Why not?
Awe-some mate. This is one beauty. New subscrber buddy. Keep up the good work.
Do you live vid sometimes on yt? Cuz if you do i'll be there watching buddy.
I have done some live videos in the past and I will do some in the future
I tried making my version on this ring and I think my pieces of the inlays are to small and also the ca glue turned white (using gorilla glue version of super glue) in some areas, no activator used. I'm at the point wondering if i should add more abalone pieces and CA glue and hope it all will turn clear? Or should I attempt to clean all glue and inlay out and start over? This is my first attempt in working with inlay/glue. Any suggestions?
Sorry this is a very late reply but I have had this happen and this is what I did.
I cut out all of the white spots and refilled them with the ca glue. One other time this didn't help and there was too much to take out so I cut out everything and started over. I sucks but some times this happens but you will learn from it. Oh and try using very thin layers of glue to make sure that is all drys at the same time.
@@GomeowCreations Thank you is it possible to soak the ring in acetone to remove all and start over? I don't have tools or patience to cut out!
And where do u get it?
😍👌👌👌👌روعة
😁👍
Can you make wedding bands like that
Yes
I was curious about your pickeling solution? What and where?
th-cam.com/video/1mPAXsKXb1Q/w-d-xo.html
I like your Lathe! Where did you get it! How well do you like it. will it cut threads?
I believe it can cut threads but I have never done it. I got it used but you can get it one from harbor freight.
@@GomeowCreations Thanks for the tips!
While I have a few pieces of abalone, I do want to get more, but cant find the larger shells like you displayed. Where can I find them? Thanks for the videos.
Are you looking to get the raw shell or the sheet that I used?
@@GomeowCreations Raw shell so I can cut my own sizes.
Cómo se llama la máquina?
Yeeezzt..
😅 what?
@@GomeowCreations
🤫🙄
I just want to ask on that mokume gane wire - there is no link where to get it or do you make by yourself? Thanks Jiri
I make it myself so there are no links. If you would like to by some from me, I might be able to make you some.
@@GomeowCreations Thanks. And that glue you use - Bob Smith Maxicure Cyanoacrylate - is it suitable for outdoor use, to sustain sunlight and not to change its color?
I haven't had any problems with it but I'm working with a new glue company now and I really like the glue they have, here is a link to it if you want to check it out www.starbond.com/?rfsn=3704886.6a727a
Also because I'm working them I have a 10% discount code, just use "GomeowCreations" at check out. If you do buy this form them using my code I do get a small kickback, just so you know. 😊
They also sell on amazon amzn.to/39dMvFp
I need a size 10!
Email me at gomeowcreations@gmail.com
Did you use medium viscosity CA glue? Thin?
I was using thick if I remember right.
I've been driving my self crazy trying to decide on which metal lathe I want to get. What brand is yours and how do you like it?
Honestly I have the one from harbor freight and it works for what I need and it was cheap. What ones are you looking at?
@@GomeowCreations too many to list, a few are Seig, Grizzly, Vevor and Harbor Freight. The Harbor Freight 7×10 seems to be the best on my pro's and con's list. I was pretty sure that's what you were using. Thank you so much for the confirmation. You helped me make up my mind. Love your work and videos very much.
Stupid question....what’s the pickeling solution? If I wanted to make my own what would I need? Thank you.
I have a video for that 😁👍 th-cam.com/video/1mPAXsKXb1Q/w-d-xo.html
Randy, why can't you just cut one longer strip? It seems a bit flexible. Could it be heated or formed prior? If not using real abalone why use something like this (I know nothing about the material, so thanks for indulging my questions..)? Thanks.
I found out after the video was shoot that I could heat it to make it bend but this is after doing all of this haha. I was going to make another video later on using a resin and explain this. With out heat this stuff just snaps after about 30mm. 😅
