Another terrible video. Thanks for wasting my time.
Btw i want to enter that drawing please
Christopher Cochran,. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE IS A WASTE TIME!!!
keepin me humble
Wow you got talent !!
Was he being... ironic? I do not understand this Christopher person.
Last September, my fiancé and I was traveling. I woke up early in the hotel, watched this video while drinking coffee, thought it over, and by lunchtime I told my fiancé that I saw this video of a guy making a ring from wood and I wanted to buy a lathe to make my wedding ring the same way he did. In May I bought a Rikon Midi sized variable speed lathe. I’ve been practicing and I’m confident enough to give this project a shot. We are getting married May of 2020. Wish me luck and thank you for the video!
Well... how did it go? Post us an imgur album or something!
John Techs rings done! I actually made three. Copper was a little intimidating and my skin is sensitive so I used a premade titanium core. I matched that with a titanium wire inlay. I didn’t do a great job with the UV resin on the first ring. The second one was perfect but I picked a core that was a little big. The third one is the winner. Unfortunately it’s sitting in my safe and I’m unmarried. With COVID, we delayed our wedding by a year. I’ll see if I can link up an image of the final ring in my google drive.
@@BlkHunterGatherer Thanks for the update! Im sorry to hear that your wedding was delayed. Ours was supposed to be a lot bigger but instead of delaying we downsized to only 20 guests. I'm interested because I'm getting married in about 10 days and I have already purchased all the tools to make my ring, I'm also using a pre-made titanium core, but I already had the lathe so I didn't have to buy a whole lot. I'd love to know more about your experience with the titanium wire if you care to share.
What a compliment. Congratulations on the wedding.
So, next month aight mate?
I still think this is one of your finest rings.
The apparent simplicity of the finished product belies the effort involved in making it.
It really is a thing of beauty.
One of these days, when I can afford to, I will become a customer! In the meantime I will continue to be hypnotised by your "making of" videos.
Bravo.

Wow!!! I’ve been watching videos on ring building for years. This is by far the most professional technique to building with just outstanding results. Your work is that of a jeweler and your rings are simply beautiful. ;-)
I like how your not wasting any materials. Sign of a real craftsman and not some Wasteful noob.
Same day delivery!
Doesn’t want to be a world dictator controlled by the role play shop.
The idea that one must create a stream to change culture by sourcing from the foundations of what it seeks to change, isn’t exactly divisive 👀.
But after the 4 years or so it’s taken to make it, it takes the public only a few days to consume; that belief there.
I mean if you were genuinely trying to get rid of all satellite, people might ask, 1. if you have a legitimate logical reason? And 2. What would your suggestion be for a replacement navigational system?

Then you find this and it’s a disappointment.
God, the algorithm’s so slow in dissipating hope & faith.
Great job! You are a terrific artisan. In my opinion, hand-made things like this are of higher quality and so much more valuable than "production-made-by-the-thousands" things. You have a great skill.
As a former jewelry designer that has only in the last few years embraced wood working, this speaks to me. Also, I lose on average 1 wedding band per year. Maybe if I make my own band, I'll hang on to it. Beautiful work.
Wow ! Thanks for putting out this video and giving so much detail about your craft I was a Architectual Woodworker for over 20 years who also enjoyed Woodworking as a hobby most of my life in my 40s i suffered a traumatic brain injury that resulted in some paralysis on the left side of my body limiting the use of borg hands i was forced to retire earlier than i originally planned on despite Not being as capable of building the things i once was capable of doing i still have a passion for wood and creating artistic and one of a kind custom items so i have been exploring things on TH-cam to see if it may be something i may enjoy doing and accomplish with the tools and knowledge i do have although i do not have any formal training or back ground in the jewlery business i like the look of the wood rings with the metal inlays and i think that with a fair amount of ingenuity and making some specialty tools and jigs for someone with limited mobility or even a handicap I think this mat be something i would like to try out i am between shops at the moment so it Is somewhat feasable my next one may be a micro shop or one without all the bells and whistles i once had and needed which is just fine with me a funny thing about that was i had originally planned on living on a sailboat after retiring and cruising longterm so i ha always thought about having a very small space for a shop and had quite a few ideas to pas the time and supplement money a little bit i am looking foward to seeing and learning more about your channel and seeing more of your work As i did like and subscribe and ill share whenever i do feel it is something my freinds and family on Facebook would enjoy as well please keep up the cool videos as your life permits as i am pretty sure i will enjoy whatever else you can teach or share about
Great attitude man. It might not interest you but with your focus on positive overcoming of your situation, i also might suggest checking out the work of joe dispenza...perhaps you could listen to him while you work on your projects
Just got so upset because I watch so many woodworking videos and this came up on my recommended...I got so excited about the ring in the giveaway because its soooo beautiful and then realised it was from a year ago 😱
You can still buy one!
Imagine watching at the end of 2024 😂
I love that you explain what you are doing every step of the way. I've been watching some phenomenally talented wood turners, but it's all show with no explanation of what's actually occurring. Thanks
Sticking your fingers inside a rotating piece of powered machinery (12:52) gives me the willies. I once worked with a guy who, for unknown reasons, stuck his finger into the hollow shaft of a rotating buffer wheel. Now when he sees someone he knows he gives them a high four.
I heard about a guy that put his willy in the pickle slicer at work. He lost his wife when he was caught. But he's happy with the gal he met at work, her name is Jill, she's a wiz with a dill, LOL
@@Alwis-Haph-Rytte I knew a girl who worked in a butcher shop. One day she backed into the slicer, and got a little behind in her work.
@@dhy5342 LOL
@Robert Theref Could you please elaborate? Was dhy5342 right or wrong about what gives him the willies? Or is it the story about the coworker?
I think he should know what gives him the willies and why. Are you just trolling?
@@Dorenda You're going to hate this factoid. They claim the average person eats in their sleep 5 spiders a year. About 30 years ago I had a pet tarantula. I let it walk across my face once. Goose bumps, LOL
You are a real artist and watching this video wasn't a waste of time in any kind. Thanks.
Beautiful ring sir I love the idea of combining metals and woods . Blessings and peace
That is a really beautiful Ring!
Love to watch craftsmen like you working!!
Not sure what others are watching, but very nice video, I guess some are just envious of talented individuals like yourself. Thanks for the great video and actually showing in detail the tricks of your trade. Beautiful ring!
Using walnut is brilliant. Such beautiful wood. And I love the copper too!!!
Cool ring. Also i agree that sometimes less is more. Not too much stuff going on, sleek design and a nice finish
totally, I of course make some more extravagant rings, but it is important to have variety.
:)

We all know the ring is super bad ass cool but what's even more important is the mind set one has to have to deliver such craftsmanship. Not many understand what that is exactly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Try using a razor blade to lightly scrape the high spot of clear. You can scrape just the high spot leaving very little to sand. That's what I do when I get a run in a cars paint job.
holy shit good idea!
+Tempest Rings Not my idea, but I'm happy to share the knowledge!!! Less chance of sanding through the clear. Just scrape flush and polish:) I enjoy your work and hit the sub button for ya. Keep Rocking it out Dude!!!
@ Rocker Pat, which direction with the blade? Like a wood scraper works well.
Yes I refinish rifle stocks and I use a razor blade to scrape out dents in the wood it works awesome I have been doing it that way for the last 25 years.
Love the look of that ring, must be expensive after that amt of work, would love to own one.
Hard work, long procedure, needs lots of patient, but the result was awesome it’s really worth it. I congratulate you.
Why ever I watched this, it´s an amazing piece of artwork. Great!!!
I work in a jewerly (family busisness, but next year I will go to a university) and the first thing I learn to make was a ring! (Tbh, Its garbage but I made it so I use it) I like to study in my free time and your videos had helping me a lot, thanks for your videos and congratulations for your amaizing works!
I really loved watching this video of the making of one beautiful piece of jewelry. Thank you for the lesson, my friend. ~Terry
At the current time, there are 222 dislikes. How is that possible? The craftsmanship is incredible. Even if the resulting ring isn't to your taste, the video is fantastic.
People are rude. It takes so unbelievably long to learn an art craft..and to film and post a video of your process. HIs video's are great. Very generous to share his process.
First vid and I'm impressed. This was so cool to watch & now I so want a custom ring made for me😉
Great vid, thanks.
Cheers,
This is absolutely beautiful. Some of the ideas in here make me think that it really would be possible to makes something like this myself. I am better than average at wood working and I have some elk ivory that would go very well inside some white oak. Although crushed ivory is not part of this video it does give me ideas. At this time this video is 7 years old but well worth the watch. I am subbing right now as I am sure I can find more inspiration.
ive been watching a lot of these kinds of videos lately and yours are amung the bestKeep it up :D
thanks dude, you are the best!
Tempest Rings you are amazing! Wow! I have a lot of semi precious stones of all kind, I had (have) a jewellery business, and got sick... I checked Etsy, awesome rings. Would you consider someone sending you the stones even the inlays I have a lot. And pay for the difference? Would that be possible to make a custom ring like that? I am in Ontario Canada where are you situated?
Nicole Hervieux p
Awesome looking and unique . Great craftsmanship as well. I would wear that ring just to show the final product of the hardwork and the creative thinking that goes into making something like this.
Amazing video! I’m new to turning rings, and this is definitely a technique I’ll have to look into. Only complaint is you really shouldn’t put your fingers anywhere near the lathe chuck. Try wrapping the sand paper around a dowel or something. Again, Great work, dude!
I just found this channel and pretty much immediately subscribed. I've seen plenty of other people make cool rings or other workshop-type stuff, but you seem genuinely interested in your viewers being able to understand what and how you make these rings - even be able to do it themselves. I really appreciate your detailed, intuitive, and educational explanations throughout the video, keep it up!!
Lastly, I agree with your statement, "less is more". Some workmen sometimes over complicate their designs, causing a crowding effect with the materials. It takes a humility as an artist and a true understanding of one's craft to design something that just allows the natural beauty of the materials really shine.
Some great tips and techniques! Thanks!
Come again? He leaves alot out. Plus he added a trick designed to ruin and set people back with his "tips". 1. He intentionally left out why his Q Tip was turning black while he was polishing the inside. I of course know why that is and he also did it wrong by skipping the follow up step to that, thus his cooper is not mirror shiny. 2. When he verbally tells people to use a heat gun when cleaning up the excess it is a trick and it will melt the finshing line causing the entire ring to fall into the Alumi-UV. 3. He doesn't discuss grain orientation when cutting the veener strips. 4. He leaves out the wet sanding and buffing of the fishing string node. 5. He leaves out lathe speeds that could fling Alumi-UV back at people who don't know better. This is one of the most masterful jerk around tutorials I have ever watched.
After the first video of ur coin Ring, i just wished silently ,that i culd franchise ur product in my shop. N here u r, giving free.... Loved it, The Last Ring Master. From Sikkim
Beautiful work
Well done, I tried my first ring this evening and I have to say, the blue painters tape is NOT the way to go, need masking tape for sure. Plus my wood was maybe not the right kind of wood to try my first ring with as it broke multiple time trying to get the paint off. I did manage to salvage some of it and glue it back on after I put the piece of copper in and rolled it. Now it's setting up with the CA glue and will have to continue this tomorrow, we shall see how mine turns out.
Kudo's to you man, keep up the excellent work...
Thanks for taking the time to share how you make your rings, it's extremely helpful for those of us new to the craft. Do you have any idea how thick the AlumiUV is once cured? I'm curious how many coats of ca it would take to equal it's thickness.
just from my experience with both products it would be about 5 coats of a thick CA, but AlumiUV isn't brittle like CA, making it much stronger.
I can't add anything to this such as i do love to watch a craftsman at work, a beautiful piece.
Omg thats amazing I only wish I was that talented
you done a good job...many people saying bad things about you,but dont you worry ., they just saying that because you better than them....keep up all the best
i want to buy the ring
Very interesting - thank you.
Grinding copper, however, is likely to load the grinding wheel.
"Dude, no one would be dumb enough to stick their finger into a spinning chuck on a lathe..."
"Hold my beer"
it just gave me a heart attack
Great how to and excellent results, good job!
Just happened up on your channel, gotta day you do some fine work. Very meticulous, I can tell you take pride in your work. I hope I have a chance at winning that blue opal ring.
I can totally appreciate the craftsmanship involved here!
Fantastic video!!!
Great video. Now all I have to do is figure out how to do this without any power tools.
Chris William yeah man when I read the title of the vid, i didn't realize he had a lathe...lol
lathes do make things easier!
No it just speeds it up. You can also use a very small file or knife to cut the groove
How much patience do have?
David this is another way to do a ring I have not tried this way, thought you might want to see this. Craft supply is where I should you the ring kit I used
You’re seriously doing a giveaway of that dark wood opal ring?!? I was literally on your site debating whether to get that ring for my girlfriend to propose to her, but if I could win it, then heck yeah! I’ll for sure watch tomorrow’s episode to try my luck! Love your stuff, keep it up
SonOfUlti , did you propose? 😊
Yeah man, keep us updated
i guess she said no :/
She mustve said no. Rip
Yeah, I think she said no.
You are a true artisan. Thank you for sharing your work and expertise.
The ring looks great so well crafted, do you sell the rings you make? I would love one 👍
Might be a little late but his website is in the description. ^_^
With the right tools & the main thing is the expertise produced such a fine & beautiful ring
how long does it take you to make one of this bad bois
When I make rings, it takes me about 3-4 hours.
Here in Puerto Rico we use Palm Nut (specific palm) we call "Corozo" ; the tricks that must be learned before attacking a job, any holes that need to be made MUST BE DONE FIRST, otherwise when you start to cut the nut for the Width, IT WILL CRACK; so you measure your width first, mark it, then you cut and you make any indentures for wire (copper or gold); the finishing process is almost as your, your's is more refined 🤑🤑
Kids ...Don’t try this at home...NEVER put your fingers inside a power tools chuck as it is rotating. That lathe would twist that finger off without compassion!
I like the craftmanship BUT that internal sanding and polishing could be done safely by wrapping a dowel with the sandpaper and steel wool. Hard to watch
Is that a ring master burn?
That felt like a ring master burn..
Ok i dont know anything about this stuff but im just gonna say it.
*BURN*!!!!! 👊👊👊
Also to channel: wow you have real talent man. Seriously. :)
Dont lose a finger bro.
I thought the same thing. Danger Will Robinson, Danger.
Keara Martin. Precisely my thought when I saw him doing that, not the best thing to show, but yeah the craftsmanship in the end is nice.
PUSS
Keara Martin Stay away from power tools, you obviously have no clue how to work with you’re hands. He is an experienced craftsman and in no danger, loose clothing near the lathe will get you hurt badly he did not do that.
I loved the opals and black resin. I was ok with the size of the opals. You didn’t really ask my opinion, but I’m not sure I could work with anything smaller.
DAMN you make nice rings! I'm just getting into making these and you are definitely an inspiration!
I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for putting the commentary as we follow along. I enjoy learning what each step does. Love the wood & copper. Classy!
Beautiful ring. !😃👍👍
Wow... very beautiful work. I wish that I could have found this for a engagement or a wedding band 21 years ago. Very nice work. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Awesome ring. Your explanation of how you work is quite helpful.
If i may ask ....what is the uv bath you have, where did you get it?
it is literally just two UV nail polish curing lamps facing face to face lol 35 watts each
Tempest Rings Thanks for taking the time to answer I really appreciate it.
always a pleasure!
Sounds very sophisticated. LOL
I was wondering about the extra bulbs, simple setup
I love your videos. I'm a woodshop teacher at a high school and I have a student doing the walnut one with opal, but we're practicing with glitter first.

Where did you get the ring sizing tool?
i got that same one on amazon "ring mandril"
Dude I appreciate your showing us all such s grear piece Im new to checking making anything really like the equipment and think I know the source so far simple is always best, once a computer gyy for 35 years and tired of looking at them, think Im finding a hobby that will keep me out of bars thinkin of a 100 things to do with that idea mostly want to do for myaelf qnd gifts for others you didnt use much smithing type heqvy heat kind of want not to burn everything down by accident like your stuff gonna sub now thanks again old man Doug here.

Very nice. People whom comment negative on this video, do not know what they talk about.
Keep it up.
Did you make your own wedding ring and then make your wife buy it off you? lol.
I love walnut in furniture also. This ring is a thing of beauty.
God you terrify me putting your finger in the lathe like that
Same.
I enjoyed your video and its good because you got some background music playing which helps to keep you awake, I mean this in the best possible way because I usually am falling asleep to some jewellery making videos as some of them are REALLY boring to watch even though the finished product is usually good
Interesting to watch how you do it.
I had a friend who made & sold rings on the street out of metal wire he would form into amazing designs.
What a fantastic process, in my OCD defence its not quite in the centre so maybe change your Vernier callipers or be more careful . inspired to have a go though . thanks for sharing.
Beautiful rings yet masculine as well you have such a wonderful skill 🙂👍
A beautiful ring made from a combination of two of nature's most beautiful resources!
Love it. My only suggestion would be instead of a blunt cut on the copper ends, to do a scarf joint for a more seamless look.
It is mesmerizing just watching the intricate process of polishing until it becomes smooth...
Hopefully, I can get one or I can order a ring with special type of materials...
Very intriguing nice craftsmanship don't listen to those negative haters I would like own a ring like this THANKS
Try running your strip under water, then wrap it in a damp paper towel, and put it in the microwave for 12 seconds. Wrap it loose, and repeat, wrapping it tighter each time, until it's tight enough to wrap around the pipe. It works well.
Interesting use of a variety of tools and techniques. Good Job.
Tbh I like how it looked mid work right after shaving off that wire, those little reddish-golden sparkles and kinda uneven surface were super cool. (I love uneven surfaces, ale I'm not alone, edges and legs of my rustic furniture are shaped by hand with a chisel or even a knife :3)
I'll say that was a good looking ring! I just started lathe and made two handles. Of course I bought new chisels, my old ones work much better. I have a Tormek T4 for grinding the chisels. Making stuff now takes lots of time to make nice wood. Thank you!
Some people can't except the art of making something beautiful
Do you have a video showing all your tools and solutions and where to purchase them, that you use in the wood ring making?
I'm stuck on bending the wood. I tried hot water, boiling water and even soaking for a day. The wood never got soft enough to bend without snapping at multiple points. I made sure to try 5 different woods with different texture, but no luck.
It was a pleasure watching you work
That is cool as can be. I build Cigar Box Guitars and now I want to make rings also. Thanks a lot for another hobby to keep me busy.
Wouldn’t heating the copper and quenching it in water harden the copper like it does steel? In order to anneal steel you get it very hot and then let it slowly cool. The longer it takes to cool the better.
Love your video. I especially like the blue opal walnut ring as it looks like the thin blue line ring worn by law enforcement of which I am retired. LOVE TO GET ONE! Keep up the good work ad keep sharing these great videos.
Excellent First time I've seen a ring being made. Thank you for showing.
just found your channel and I really like it. I think the videos would be way better if you just had the shop noises and your voice with no music added. thats just me! thanks for your videos!
Beautiful ring, you are definitely a professional at what you do young man. Bravo
I agree with your opinion. It is also interesting to know your opinion about my videos. In one of the videos, I made gold earrings out of ordinary coffee beans.
@@jewelator ….I’ll have to take a look that sounds interesting, have you ever used a cashew? That will be a little harder to do me thinks.
@@robertlangley258 Thank you! Cashews are also easy to make, in fact the principle will be the same as with pasta, coffee and cheese.

I'm a wood turner and I've been looking into making some rings as well. I kinda stumbled on to your channel, and I enjoyed the video. Everything was clearly explained and shown. I hit L, S, and the Bell
Wow watching this (that I just happen upon somehow) has made my appreciation for my jewelry pieces go up 110%. I didn't realize how much work went into them. I am profoundly impressed. Thanks for posting.
The combination of wood and metal is very interesting. Thanks.
Almost 3000 suns at the time this video rolled out, over 100k today 4 years later. Congrats mate.
I like the way you wrap it in masking tape and pour the glue on the edge. I used to do that by hand, this is much better and even 👌🏻
Your friend, C. Cochran, really had me going wth his comment...now I have to laugh at myself. But...I picked up a lot of good ideas with your processes. I don't have a lathe, but maybe a drill...etc. Thanks so much!!
Just got into ringmaking and I'm loving it. I've been playing with fordite a lot and wood. Great video!
Wow! You are very talented sir. Your work and attention to detail is above and beyond. You are a true master of your arts!!! The ring is absolutely beautiful my friend. I would gladly own one and would proudly wear it! The craftsmanship it takes is an inspiration! I think i would like to take up jeweling and repairs!? I really think i would like it. Maybe i could even turn it into a career! Doing something i love!!! My own little piece of the american dream! And to think all of this was inspired by one tiny little but absolutely amazing copper and wood ring. Lol Wow that is such a beautiful thing!
Very clear instructions and the result are superb.
Congratulations on your great work. Thank you for sharing with us. Greetings straight from Brazil.
