Yeah, that came out very nice! and an honor to be asked by your son to make his wedding ring. BTW: a little trick I learned for parting off a ring or something like that, is I put 6 inch or so half inch dowel in my Jacobs Chuck in the tailstock and advance it right up into the ring. Then, when I part it off, it's immediately caught. Otherwise, parting can be such sweet sorrow. 😜
I turn a lot of pens using moose antler tines. I stabilize them in Cactus Juice in a vacuum chamber so that they turn better. I also made a few rings and since they are stabilized you don't have to worry about them getting wet and messing up the surface. I also treat Mammoth ivory the same way for knife scales. It stops them from swelling and contracting since they can't take on moisture. Love your videos.
As a ring maker, I’m impressed with your work format first ring! Amazing piece! I just started to experiment with deer antler and it’s a fascinating material. I will try the copper wire inlay as well! I would also recommend to anyone wanting to make something similar to use tellurium copper for the inner core since it’s an aloy that won’t react with skin.
Beautiful wedding band, your son will wear it with pride! I made one very similar to yours but I used a silver coin ring for the insert to avoid the dreaded green finger as silver coin rings is my main hobby. Just one word of caution, please wear a respirator when working with deer antler as it can be carcinogenic if you inhale it into your lungs.
That's great. Looks good. I really like it. And when people ask him about it (they definitely will), he gets to say, "My dad made it." How cool is that! 😊
Fantastic ring, Lewis! Beautiful craftsmanship, my friend. Really enjoyed watching you make that ring come to life! Best wishes to your son and his fiancée! Sorry I missed the premiere today.
Absolutely brilliant.. I am definitely subscribing for more of these videos. Just busy setting up my old machine and I need a few new ideas.. Thank you for sharing your expertise
Awesome!! My son and i harvested our first Moose this year. He was a young buck but we kept the small 12" antlers thinking we'll think of something to do with them one day... thanks for the inspiration!! Great work and congratulations on your boys nuptials. 👍
That's a very special project you've created. I think it has been a lot of trail and error before you achieved this great result. Well done my friend. Cheers, Hans Stay safe and keep turning
Thank you Hans, actually other than testing how copper would cut before I started this you saw all of the trial and error. I got lucky! Thank you for watching!
It was fun watching and listening to you working through the process of your first ring, Lewis! Fascinating, really. I love your design, simple but elegant and your son will wear this proudly for many years to come. Well done! 😊 Phil
I am aware that many skills can be imitated with the correct tool, but to craft one's own tool to achieve a goal and end result was STUNNING to observe. And I absolutely cannot resist (huge LotR fan here) - you have crafted the One Ring! Gorgeous, innovative for you personally as an artisan, and super meaningful for its intended wearer. Awesome!
That's so special you could do this for your son for his special day. I didn't see you had a live today. But I'm impressed you could do this without having done it before! Thank you for sharing your creativity with me. Stay safe, Vickie
Stellar work TKC, your son has a beautiful ring made by his father! That fact right there makes it more than worth it. I hope my son asks for me to do the same.
First, congratulations to you and your new expanded family. Also, for successfully creating a very beautiful and unique gift for your son. Reading the comments and answers and you answered my concerns with copper and skin contact. Nice thinking on that solution by using UV resin. But the true game changer was that awesome diy mandrel. That was just genius in its design. Allowing you to create that beautiful ring and the finished piece just incredible. I enjoy using brass and deer antler for joining handles to turned walking cane shafts. That mandrel idea is just what I was needing to pre-turn the coupler or spacer joints. Making it easier to pre-match with the woods chosen for the cane parts. I will definitely be turning embellishing rings akin to your design for canes as well. Thank you for openly sharing your talents and ideas with us all. You have inspired me and taught me a new skill as well, again thank you and God bless you and your family.
Thank you Matthew, that is very nice of you to say. The mandrel is just a home made knock off of an actual mandrel you can buy so it is certainly not an original idea. I appreciate you watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman as a woodturner I do enjoy learning something new. I, like every turner I know, have bins overflowing with off cuts and the occasional what was I thinking piece. Thankfully, we somehow help each others find solutions when share our knowledge.
That was awesome. I've watched a few ring turning videos but haven't tried one yet because i didn't wanna buy all the mandrels and stuff. Looked great imo.
Thank you, this was my first and I enjoyed it. I think I will but some mandrels as I’ll likely try some different rings now that the first is behind me. Thank you for watching!
Enjoy your videos,very informative and helpful 👍❤️
Thank you William! So appreciate you watching and commenting!
Wow...beautiful...next phase jewelry store...
Thanks Derith, I don’t think I’ll start a jewelry store just yet!
Dude that is Beautiful . Your son will cherish that the rest of his life and pass it down to his son .
Thank you Bart, I appreciate it!

Great job Lewis
Thank you Scott!

Thanks Rodney! This I coated in UV resin after the fact to seal things in! I appreciate you watching!
What a work of Love, a wedding ring made by Dad and given to the Son! 💖
Thank you John, I certainly was a special project to me!

Very nice. I found an antler a few weeks ago and now have an idea for making something with it. Stay safe.
That’s awesome! Thank you for watching!
That jam chuck technique was worth the price of admission. Thanks!
Thanks A J! I appreciate you watching
Exquisite; your son will be so proud to wear such a smashing band.
Thank you Andrew, he loves it!
I have made a few rings from brass, copper, and stainless steel and you did a great job buddy
Thank you Arlin!

Hey Robin! Yes a respirator is a must! Thank you for watching!
Excellent video. I like the voice over and you answered every question I had about turning one on my wood lathe.
I have a General as well. Thank you.
Thanks so much John, I appreciate it!
Bet your son was very proud. Good job, beautiful piece. Just started watching wood turning lately.
He really likes it Fran. Thank you for watching!
That's great. Looks good. I really like it. And when people ask him about it (they definitely will), he gets to say, "My dad made it." How cool is that! 😊
Thank you! He is very proud of it. I appreciate you watching!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Keep um coming.
Thank you Wayne, I appreciate it!
What a wonderful gift 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you J’Lyssa, I appreciate it!
Great job! One alternative to copper pipe is copper sheeting.
Thanks Danielle. As luck would have it the pipe was the perfect size. I appreciate you watching!
Very interesting project Lewis, I'm sure your son will appreciate it.
Thanks Brent, he loves it!
God idea on the mandrel. I have been wanting to make some bracelets ( bangles) and I think a similar idea will work.
Thank you Ron. I made one in this video. th-cam.com/video/cquY8YCqYOQ/w-d-xo.html
Wow, that is gorgeous, such an honor I'm sure to make your son's wedding ring. I would sure wear one of those beautiful
I was very happy to make it for him to his specifications. Thank you for watching!
Great job! I put a pencil in the tailstock chuck and it catches the ring when its parted off. No scratches 🙂
Beautiful ring.

From the content you dl here, I had every faith in you from the start. Your a good man!
It wasn’t the ability to make it but how it would look that was the issue. Thanks!
Really nice job. I'm impressed that you have never made a ring before, you knew exactly what to do. I enjoy your channel.
