Wooden Rings: What Tools Do You Need? 

God will bless you. I'm crying cause i just spent money buying a bunch on stuff before seeing this video.

I really appreciate this video, thanks for passing the knowledge on

Very nicely done and I know I need to buy some of the stuff you listed off haha 😄👍

Very nice information, Thanks for sharing. :) When I made my first ring I didn't have a lathe but had several power drills with rechargeable battery packs so I just rigged something up to use the drill for working the ring. It worked out just fine. - Heidi

Hi, your video was so informative, thanks for sharing! I know this is an old thread but I had a question regarding the CA finish. Have you ever experienced the CA lifting from the wood surface? I make jewelry as well (not rings, more flat pieces that get inlayed into metal). I've tried starbond things and sanded and buffed it but after scratching the surface it started to lift. Your work is so beautiful and I thought you might have some advice?

This is an investment with the sizeable list of equipment required....but, knowing that I'm already looking into cost of a set up. I make pendants and paint on canvas so ring making is another avenue of creativity. You're video was more helpful/inspiring than most, thank you.

Can u make a video on how to finish ur bentwood rings using a lathe?

where do you get your stones for making the crushed stone inlays?

Hello, I am cutting making a wooden ring using a drill press as a lathe. I'm thinking of buying a lathe, but I can't afford a mini lathe. Do you know anything about those little bead lathes?

Hi, I have been wanting to get in to ring making for sometime now and I love the idea of taking something from nature and crafting it into something beautiful that people can keep with them all the time. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Is it possible for me to get in touch with you if I need any help ? A big thanks for all the vids you put out.

Another brilliant video. Thank you

Amazing video man love the effort and the craft

You're adorable.

You’re great. Thanks for the info

for those with limited space to work, i got a proxxon db250 wood lathe, compact and suprisingly powerful.

Great vid Dan, keep up the good work dude

as always a great vid

Thank you so much for sharing - one question if I may: How do you know what size to make the ring? Really enjoy the humor effect!!

where can u order venner

After watching your videos you have inspired me to make bentwood rings, I just purchased two ring mandrel, two sets of ring size sets, a jewelry hammer from your link, and it was under $30.00 US dollars. I bought from amazon

Hi Zebrano, i would like to say thank you so much for have been share your amazing videos I have been tried learn with your videos, but I don`t know where I can buy were rings, for after decorate if you can give me that information I will appreciate. Thanksgiving, Paula

I'm from Canada

I see many people using thin wood sheets, like you. I find using Block of Wood i have more work space, and it's harder to make mistakes, but it's just me...

Any other lathe recommendations? Unfortunately it looks like the one you've posted is no longer being made. I saw the like 60-80 dollar ones, but not sure if they're worth getting even for practice! I've recently subscribed to your channel and I'm loving the tutorials and the pieces you've made! Great easy to follow info! Keep it up!

Hey 😀Thank you for this great video. I am slowly gathering information to teach my guy wood turning. While I have 70% of the items - the list you have provided has pointed me in the right direction. My lil guy has been extremely inspired by your video and amazing work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. I do have one question - is there much difference over a scroll saw v's a bandsaw? Bandsaws are quite substantial and i'd need to rejig my workshop to accommodate one v's a benchtop scroll saw.

Your rings are so, so nice. I love the extra work you obviously put into it. And I very much appreciate this tutorial as well.

Good Morning! I like your rings very much but I am Brazilian and my English is not good. Could you release the subtitles in Portuguese? Thank you very much in advance.

do you think that 750rpm would be slow enough for the w815 lathe so that it doesn't spill everywhere a CA coat?

Brilliant video as always. Could do with some Canadian amazon links if possible. The US links are great and for the most part, they ship to Canada, but the exchange, import taxes and shipping are killers. NAFTA my butt. Not much 'free' comes northward.

I'm a model figure painter usually about 56mm to 90mm scale but I'm always looking to try different crafts - not commercially but as a hobby. and after watching your amazing videos you have inspired me to try ring making as a side hobby to my painting I already own a lot of the tools and products you use including a small electric lathe so thank you for your wonderful videos, I enjoy watching craftsmen at work and your work is amazing.

RU-vid, you did it again. Something I wouldn’t have searched for but yet really interesting

So I am having difficulties finding burnishing cream anywhere on the internet where it can ship to Dubai. From your meguair’s comment I am a little hesitant to go with it, any suggestions?

This took a long time to make the video, line up the links, make the list etc. Thank you sir, you've won my sub.

Thanks

Your videos are fantastic and very informative; thanks for putting all this work in!

You are a blessing. Thank you for everything brother

so good. with much thanks for sharing

this is by far the best beginners bent rings tutorial

I have made wood ring for some time now after not having made any kind of jewellery stuff for 25 years, but I really got interested in beginning again after seeing the video where you go full on metal in the beginning. The creativity, passion and sillyness is just the things i connect to. 😊 Thanks for just being you, keep rocking those videoes 🤘🤘🤘

Do a video on how to ship products

I was brought here by the Skull ring from Instructables, I have no desire to pick up another hobby that I'll never do anything with but this was better than most how to's and intro videos to a craft and an excellent intro for others that are looking to pick up this skill. Cheers to you Zebrano.

Thanks for sharing! Your work is amazing.

Read the email on this, glad to see the video. Great job!

Where is the pdf

Love all your video/tutorials, did you say all this info was on a PDF? Where? 😕

Hi, I like your job. How do you calculate the price of your rings?

Great work my man. You already inspired me to give selling my rings a go ages back . I use a drill and rotary tool atm lol. But plan to use what money comes in from it improve my set up. Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to the next vid.

Hi Dan. I have just bought a used Clarke 300 lathe identical to your own. Want to get some tools for it, what size shaft did you find best for both the indexed carbide tipped tools and for the HSS tools? I obviously want to ensure I get the right sizes. Thanks...

Hi. You make very cool rings. I often do myself the same. Can you help me? I made rings out of bright veneer. Veneer layers are always visible on the side. How to make them invisible, like it's a whole tree? Sorry for my bad English

Dan.... where have you been such a long time? :)

Do you know how much all of these products cost

No veneer outlets for Canada mate.

what lathe do you use for metal turning? it seems to be fairly small but most of the smaller ones ive come across seem to be quite rubbish

hi Dan can you send me a wood spindle ( bit cheeky but she boys get no sweets)
