Also, to grind away a lot of material from the inside before sanding, I would recommend getting a round metal filer used for sharpening chainsaw chains, and chuck it to a drill press, or make a rod that you could attach sand paper sheets, it’s cheaper then the dremil parts
Este Glez Best recommendation ever. I spent literally 3 hours and a lot of dremel parts and I didn't reach the desired width. Then I bought a round metal abrasive thing, and finished got 3 rings in 1 hour.
@@markfinster1256no, drill bit too slow and it will tend to wander and drift. Rather use a die grinder as it has a much higher rpm so it won't want to drift and kick back. Pop a carbide up cut bit in the die grinder and you will hog out the hex thread in no time and create a lovely smooth inner diameter.
I made my own hex ring as i call it. I actually used a hand file for the entire outside and a round hand file on the inside. Both were about 7 or 8 dollars plus my hex nut was a dollar. Also mine was a weird shape and required a lot of filing on something most hexnuts dont have and thats a round second half. It took me 8 hours overall and i suggest using brass as its a bit softer... or zinc. Im working on a zinc ring now.
This is a very helpful video for newbies such as myself, it opens up more possibilities for ring making, as always more quality content from you, thanks again and God bless.
I suggested this a long time ago but I saw you did it with the Superconductor ring. You should leave a Damascus ring in etch for 6-7 hours. Then fill the voids with glow powder. Like red. Use the instacure super thin CA glue to get in all the gaps.
I think its great! I would love to see a Video of a still very simple to make but proposal worthy ring =D I like the idea of making my wedding rings myself.
I notice a lot of people that comment say the rings don't look good during the whole process but look amazing when its finished. I hate that as an artist, people seeing my work before it's done for that reason. You really do make incredible rings I've been binge watching since last night I'm really glad I found this challenge. Do you take orders as well I'm really interested in having you make a ring for someone that's really special to me.
Patrick Adair Designs very nice craft we had some water work men leave all sorts of shit behind messy buggers but in a,wet cardboard box was some stainless steel nuts bonus you gives me an idea domes rubbish is someone else treasure ?👌💕🐺
Love these, currently a Jewellery & Silversmithing student in Birmingham, might try this one out when I have some spare hours in the workshop. Be nice to seat a small stone on the bolt face.
What would also be cool and something that could probably done with the same tools is to take this ring and mill out a shape (rectangle, circle, a letter, etc) in the flat part. Then inlay some glow powder and other materials just like you do with the other rings.
Love the more basic rings! Could you try making one from micarta? I know that it's possible to make some yourself from paper and resin, so it would be a cool personal material to work with, and it shouldn't be as hard to sand down as metals are.
My grandfather was born in 1918 during our last pandemic, sadly he lost his mother shortly after he was born due to the influenza. Anyways, he made his wedding ring out of a hex but like the one you did. He passed away at the age of 91 and my dad now wears his ring. I have always wanted one like it and plan to finally try to make me one. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is awesome Edit: if you need larger bolts you can find the on the backside of guard rails by roads, some of them are likely to be loose and while it might not be entirely legal you can also probably buy them on amazon lol :D
That is a great way to create a good looking ring ,that actually looks very expressive,thank you for the video,I just started watching you, definitely amazing work you do, from one artist to another keep coming back with new ways to create beautiful rings!
It looks good! Next time try leaving the top three flat edges for some added geometry. It looks a lot like a Signet ring that rich men wear! Nice job. I'm a lady, wife and Mother yet at five foot 10, I would wear it!
I love what you make I'm kind of obsessed with rings (I wear 7 at all times and plan on completing my set of 10 eventually) so I was wondering if you'd be able to make a glow spin ring to see how it would turn out
I really love your work and I also have a request for a really cool idea for a ring , you should make more superhero rings and please make a glowstone version of the reverse flash ring that would be great
Hey dude, I don't know much about machinery and how to use them and stuff, but I need some help. I tried making one of these rings and I don't have a dremmel thingy (idk what's it called) so I made a makeshift dremmel thingy using a drill and then poked the drill thing into a piece of styrofoam, I cut out into a small circle, then taped and glued it so it doesn't fly off and then I glued sandpaper on the styrofoam. I was "able" to smoothen the inside of the ring. So can I shape the outside of the hexnut just like you did with my makeshift dremmel thing?😂
Y do u not use a drill bit and vice to hold the ring and drill out the treads then dremal? It just seems like u spend alot of time with the thread process
So I've been looking for a while now and I can't seem to find it. I have a problem with a ring that I've made from maple and it was a bit loose and decided to take a trip through the wash. Anyway it's cracked and I don't know which CA glue to use being that there are sooooo many different options. Can someone help me find the video where Patric Adair Designs discusses glues I know I've seen a video but I can't find it for the life of me.
I like it, just a couple days ago I was watching other hex nut ring videos, maybe you can engrave it and fill the engraving with glow powder or other stuff.
Hey patrick..Im your new subscriber.You are talented guy you know ...if you don't mind can you make the star wars last jedi ring ?The ring when she gave to the kid rebel ring.
Is it possible to size a nut ring to a larger diameter? Example a 3/32 nut to whatever size a average women finger size (while keeping the nut hexagon)
EGYPTIAN PHARAOH those are called polishing compounds, and you can usually find them through jewellery supply shops. You might even find them for sale on one of Patrick Adair's websites. I think he has one site for his rings, and one site for his supplies, so be sure to check his bio for links. Good luck
I know this is old but idk what happen when i started to use a dermal tool and it blew out no me when i was trying to smooth the inside it with the tool but as i see you do it you were doing fine i am lost what happen with me
How do you deal with rings on winter when cold shrinks the fingers? y normally wear 8 rings on one hand and 10 on the other hand and in summer there is no problem with them , but in winter they tend to fall off
