Forging Twist Damascus Steel and Making a Spirograph Ring with Vegas Forge 

This footage might as well be shot by national geographic. Dustin marry me.

If the low pieces were stained red, you would have a sweet spiderman ring.

Hi, Before putting the ring in the acid, can you coat the internal surface of the ring with wax or some other substance which prevent itching on the internal surface of the ring... It will look absolutely stunning as you will get two different beautiful surfaces...

That hex pattern bar is amazing looking. You need to make something from it.

If you could fill the etched parts with glow powder that would look amazing. Great work as always.

how long do your rings take to ship? i ordered one about 6-7 weeks ago and still haven’t received it

Obsidian facets on the Spirograph Damascus, that would look cool 😎

Wow, this damascus gives off a really stunning pattern, and the rounded profile definitely brings that out. Simply a stunning ring.

If you had been around making rings 12 years ago when i got married i would have deffinately baught a ring like this from you....... might even have to get narried again.

what an awesome vid i loved watching the whole process from start to finish from raw materials so cool thanks for the awesome content

Hey man I just wanted to let you know that you and your amazing work inspired me, so I actually spent about 8 hours yesterday making a steel ring, with dinosaur bone inlay, probably my favourite thing I've ever made.

3:11 At this point, a miracle occurs...

"Power hammer" was also the nickname of my first boyfriend

Bro. allow jeff to explain.... he's the man in he's shope you don't have to steal the spotlight.....come on! Jk

Surprising that they do canister Damascus. Thought they would’ve just stacked the layers, heated it to crit, and forge welded it. Interesting...🤔

Patrick, Big Fan. Amazing and inspiring videos. I'm thinking about getting involved in creating rings. When that time comes, I want to do this right and mostly as a hobby, I'd be starting with no equipment. I'm wondering if you would be interested in helping me get started? I need Equipment, which I would source from you. What I'm looking for is your know how, some advice along with choosing the right things so I can be very efficient. Thank you very much and looking forward to becoming a customer and respectable hobbyist. Sincerely Joey

Checked the website, pretty pricey. Maybe someday, but not now. Anyone recommend any other ring website?

You are a true master, young man. I love that you do all this with simple, everyday tools. Cheers! Chris.

Hey you should try to make maybe a exploding red dwarf star design. Using your new spirograph metal. I would love to see it, just thought of it and maybe no one asked for a red dwarf so why not. But if you do this, show my comment please. I would love that ring

I was thinking, would it be possible to dip it in a solid color resins or something to fill in the trenches? That way you have a layer of color too. If you could pull it off that would be awesome ring. It would look similar to stained glass in church’s with the colors and the boarders.

how will they be affacted by the Trump steel taxes? As far as i know Aebl is made in Sweden by Uddeholm?

How thick do you make your rings? (I want to make some, but I'm not sure where to compromise between strength and aesthetic)

It looks like something XX121 would wear...

or a ring that can vibes when you approching your loosen key or phone? you are a jedi i want you to become a master jedi do not limit you capacity of creation!!!!

I would maybe put nail polish on the inside so it doesn't get etched. I feel like having the inside etched might be a tad uncomfortable

Is it just me or does the music sound like something in a cheesy company training video... cool video though

Now that NJSB doesn't make AEB-L anymore, I wonder what they use now?

It's to bad you went through all that with Vegas Forge and you just lathed out the ring. I would love to see one forged out from scratch.

Actual damascus steel doesn't exist anymore, please get your facts straight

I’ve had mine for about a year and I absolutely love it. I’m gonna suck mine in coffee for about an hour to see if it dark as it up a little bit but other than that I’ve left alone.

hmm.. you have a flathead lathe bit, think you could kind of hallow it out in the center symmetrically to make a dome cutter? :)

Do you know a lathe that would be good for people who are beginners or who want to start making rings

Dude. If I ever get married again you be makin my ring. Lol. Seriously

sweet ring. i love damascus. what would the difference be with a less round top?

great video on making a ring. The ring doesn't even look like a damascus ring weird.

would be cool to see you heat anodize it.. Not sure if the etched/sanded steel would look any different after the anodizing

This is very interesting! Thanks for taking us on a field trip to Vegas Forge!

Do they have a physical store where I can try the rings on? My hands are huge and most rings don't fit me

i have an idea for you new ring .Can you create a ring with parts looking like holographic paper? or a ring with a green laser like green lantern 'one that we can switch on or off)?

What kind of steel is used? 302 and?.. great job!

How do I get ahold of him, I have a slice of dinosaur bone, and petrified wood , I would love to see what he could do with it.

That's a pretty sweet ring!

Very nice. Are these going to be for sale on your site at anytime or are these just for the giveaway?

I think this ring is great!! Will it be available on the website to purchase?

I'm sure the way Damascus steel is made is the same as your favourite metal timascus is made

Please make something, combining timascus and meteorite

Can you make another one of these rings but flame color is instead?

I was curious if it was possible to do a lapis lazuli and peridot mix for a ring idea

Looks like black Spider Man ring😍😍👌

hey dude plzz make a black panther ring tutorial

so where are vegas forges links that you mentioned?

It looks like a snake and its a beauty... You're awsome

Using compressed air during the twist step is furkin smat

Looks awesome but it also looks like it's going to eat your finger up.

10/10 if I wasn't broke, I'd buy a lot of your rings. They're so nice

I love your Damascus ring. Clever man.

What would happen if u leave the ring in that liquid for a month

ck ck ck............GOD Level......so detaillllll....amazing

I hope you sell this ring as I’ll be buying it as soon as possible.

Your lathe seems to have a lot of slop in it during those cuts

I would put some brass in the outside of the ring

nothing wrong with understated elegance

Where did you learn to make all these rings ?

You didn’t have to the heat treatment in the kiln ?

It looks a little like a snake thing... is it just me

its beautiful and a meticulis job on it.

looks like s snake or dragon belly pattern

I wana buy it but how to order to make a ring

Put it on the shop. I will buy this it’s so nice

Love both your work and your videos beautiful rings and chilled informative videos..amazing to watch those rings come together..good job 👍

Make the new ring from shadow of war

Looks awesome would be cool to add a stone or two.

I did not see it for sale on your sight?

what about a black oxide/flame anodized spirograph Damascus steel ring? it might turn out super cool

*_Mesmerising To Watch_*

Obsidian facets on the Spirograph Damascus, that would look cool 😎

I went to your website to look for a wedding ring but my browser said your site is unprotected and did not recommend I visit; stating it’s either a site pretending to be your site or you’ve been hacked and your security is down. Thought you’d better know just in case.

I absolutely love Damascus steel and the patterns and designs it makes, especially when you then etch it with acid. I just watched this video and the first thing I thought of was the Iron Spider suit or even Iron Man's armour with the lines and curves! I doubt there is any way to pull it off but if there is, I think you could make a killer ring. Red glow powder inside this steel and do the same steps, I wonder if the glow powder would show up inside the darker, flat edges allowing this to pop? I love the look, even has a Venom type look. Either way, this was yet another awesome ring. Keep up the great work!

Unfortunately the part that they can't show you if where they get the real crazy patterns with. They can show how the twist pattern is made because everyone makes a version like that. But this company makes quite a few original patterns & to get those patterns they have to get pressed in many rediculas ways by using many custom made dies. This is also why the more intricate patterns can cost alot more because countless hours of work goes into making them. It's also pretty interesting to know that while the crazy new patterns are obviously modern real damascus steel has been around for a very long time as it's what all of the old samurai swords were made out of. Though that EXACT process is even more of a closely guarded secret as the best made swords were a very closely guarded secret. The swords were much stronger then anything else made and had thousands of layers folded on top of itself. This's also the reason the old samurai swords are worth so much money, some are even priceless. While some find their way into our countries most samurai swords are kept in the Japanese familes, though many were also taken during the war like the long lost Honjo Masamune katana. Anyone that isn't familiar with it should look up a documentary on it as it's extremely interesting. There should be plenty here on RU-vid. The sword is probably either somewhere here in America brought back from the war & the owner doesn't know what they have, or it's secretly in the hands of a very wealthy collector somewhere...

most people use ferric chloride

You should have a disscord server

Black panther ring :)

Hello !😁 Do you take request ? If yes, can you make the ring of lucis from final fantasy xv please?😄

This ring looks AMAZING! I would love to get my hands on one! :D size 7 please

My fiancee purchased my wedding band from you at my request. And dude. It is much more incredible in person. As always, well done with this ring and video. One of my favorite channels to watch.

Looks very cool. I'd definitely wear it.

can we also do this with silver

That process making the martial is cool, didnt think that's how it's made, learn something everyday even after graduation :P

Patrick, love your rings! How hard would it be for you to make a domed ring with your deep space theme? I'm getting married in November and would love to have something created by you!

Awesome pattern and contraste!! Beautiful work and video 👍

I like to have one of the ring 14

is there flux inside the box?

i wonder if you were to save all your cuttings from the lathe and melt all the different materials in a crucible, Just what kind of madness you could work with then. It would be tricky to do because different materials behave differently at different temperatures but you might be left with something cool.

Surely put it on your website

Amazing pattern! You should try doing a coffee etch to make more contrast, that would look killer!

This is so cool. Been wanting to make stainless Damascus, and now I have the formula. Thank you for sharing 👍👍

Every ring I’ve seen you make is absolutely amazing! I follow a knife making company on instagram called @elementalknives and they make awesome knifes that could maybe also make cool ring designs, especially the hyper beast sets. I know it’s not exactly an exotic material but it could still be super cool to mess with

I love sooo much this ring(i love damascus in general ;P), good job both of you. By the way, i have an idea, i'm sooooooo courios to see one damascus ring with the feather pattern with the same work you do to this ring. I love your work and skill too, keep like that ;)

Holy crap that looks amaizing! It has some Stargate: Atlantis vibe to it. What if you did a san mai of damascus? Like 2 sides being mainly lighter metals and middle mainly darker metals? Or more than 3 layers, it could make a cool effect if its made into a ring.

SO, just for an idea. why not try to etch a damascus ring for a long time and then fill up the etching with like that blue glowpowder? i think that would look super amazing! let me know :D
