Thank you. I want to make a ring for my Fiancée and I had just like you, pockets, and holes in my knowledge to do do. I have a lathe in my garage, and my brothers ring mandrel to put on it, but like I said, I had holes in my knowledge.
I have ring blanks, mica, and a Dremel, but I don’t have the stand you were using to hold the Dremel and ring. I don’t know anyone who has a 3D printer. Is there a way I can do this without the stand? I also do these rings with UV resin. but never sanded them. (Oops) didn’t know I needed to. So, now, my cousin is wanting a memorial ring done with some ashes in the mix. I told her I could look into doing one this way. I really want to try. Any suggestions ???? Thanks. Excellent video by the way! New subscriber here!!!
Gr8 video. I hope you were wearing a mask when sanding. As majority of stones are made up of a proportion of silica. By using a drip watering on part when sanding will help stop the fine particles floating in the air & being inhaled. Look up silicosis. Also have you thought of joining a Gem & Mineral Club in your area, they teach how to cut stones safely, make jewellery & much more.
Wao amazing job!! I wuld like to try make something similar !how did you slize your 3d model into different layers for lasercutting ? I often work with software line inkscape for my laser files but sometimes it would be very much more easy to visualize what i get if i culd skipp the 2d part and just focus on the 3d from beginning ! :) Do you have your files left wuld like to try to remix it and make my own version ! :D
THANK YOU!!! You are the only person to mention to let the ca glue dry thoroughly before you start working it with a file. That’s a must and nobody seems to say so. The accelerator makes it cloudy even if you don’t use a bunch.
The ring broke off into a million pieces due to high heat generated from the dremel. You have to spray cold water to maintain the temperature of the stone as low as possible while spinning it. That goes for any stone. Its called wet sanding.
