This is the coolest technique for ring making I’ve seen. Can’t wait to try this one day
Hello there. I cant get over how insanely stunning these rings are. Wow wow gorgeous 😍
These are gorgeous rings Randy! love the mixed metals.
Great video. All steps explained fully. I like the version that uses thicker metal for the mountains than the sky.
Oh I love these rings! I learned so much from your tutorials. Thank you and I really appreciate your generosity.
Well I'm happy to hear that you like them and no problem 😊👍
I am having some trouble soldering can I have some tips
Email me with details gomeowcreations@gmail.com
Stunning...I love mixed metals!
You are such a gifted artisan (and teacher). Thank you for an incredibly informative and interesting video!
Well thank you very much 😊 and I'm happy to hear that my work is helpful 👍
Omg these came out so cool!!! I am definitely going to be trying them for my next project!! Perfect couples rings 😁
Wow, absolutely gorgeous...great job.
Also to say; I use that steel brush on my rotary tool all the time. I would like to seriously caution everyone who uses these to be sure to wear eye protection. I find those little wires stuck all over me at times.
Loved it!! Thank you, instructions were clear & your video was very easy to follow. Great Job! 👍🏻
Well thank you very much 😊
Another beautiful ring design. I’ll have to practice my sawing to be able to make the mountain range.
Yeah it does take some saw practice to get it right. 😅
Always thorough, very informative. Great tutorials - thank you.
😁
Really inspiring idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed your demo!! Didn't realize what a mirror image could do!!
Yeah you can do a lot of fun stuff using this style of cutting
Thank you this is awesome!! Have to say this is gonna have to be My next ring I’m making for myself! Great content and very helpful
Thanks so much. Loved your tutorial!
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I'm looking for new ideas I can incorporate into my pens. Man, I can do so much with this! Also the rings look great. Thanks again!
Happy to help 😁👍
Dude, just love this one. You are an amazing artist and TEACHER. I am doing this one, mountain lover here!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
That is so cool! Those would make great wedding rings being mirror images of each other.
Great video and very helpful mi amigo, muchas gracias.
Very awesome rings and video. Thanks a lot. I'm going to try it!
You explain well. Thank you.
😁👍
Amazing video and love these rings. I have to check out your supply list.
Thank you and if you don't see something in the list just ask me 😁👍
Amazing. My next project!
Thanks and let me know how it turns out 👍
This is awesome I'm going to try to make a wave design!
Let me know how that turns out 😁😅
You are very good teacher.
Thank you 😁👍
Beautiful ring glad I found your channel.
Well thank you 😊👍 and I'm happy to have you a viewer.
Genius! I make mountains on the outside but not as intricate as you. Well done.
Well now you have a new way to do it 😊
Very cool technique! I will definitely try this! I think a wavy line would be interesting too!
You can do all kinds of things with this skill. I might make more videos in the future with different designs
@@GomeowCreations That would be awesome!
So beautiful !
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing your amazing talent! KANSAS USA
many thanks
That is awesome.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😁👍
These rings look amazing!! Loved this tutorial !
Well thank you very much 😊 let me know if you have any questions 👍
Beautiful rings
Thank you 😊
बहुत बढ़िया 👍👌
Nice video! And what a great idea to use the printed labels! I never used that and I’m wondering “why not?” 😄 Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks and no problem 😊 when you do use it just make sure you have a little extra on the metal to keep it from coming up when sawing
Awesome!!! Great video. Can’t wait to try this out. 👍👍👍
Thanks and when you do let me know how it goes 😁
GomeowCreations I hope you never stop making these vids! They’re very inspiring! 😃
I always wondered how that was done. Beautiful rings! TY
No problem 😊
Fantastic stream (tutorial) Absolutely love your work! The only issue I feel the rings could bend over time! It's the trade off useing soft metals, Anyway 10/10👍
Thanks and yeah they could bend over time. You can make the thicker to help keep that from happening. I made a new version on this ring with a silver core ring that helps make it all stronger and makes it so the copper and brass will not be in contact with your finger
Nice effect.
Thanks
Nice work,i like it!
Well thank you 😁
Love these. I had no idea how “easy” they are. Would love to see it done in a cuff…
😁
BRAVO!!!
Really very nice tutorial. I've learned a lot today. Thank you very much for sharing your skills. One little question. When you make a ring with copper and brass what kind of solder do you use? Can I do it with silver solder?
Thank you for your answer.
Have a nice day.
Mieke Manders
That was so cool, thank you!!
😁
Wow..! Very cool video ..thanks for sharing bro !
😊
Perf3ct getoond hoe het kan.leuk resultaat
You have given a good base. You could use the piercings as an overlay too or you could line these with sterling and put a comfort edge on them. Great job piercing them by the way.
Thanks and yeah, most things can be used in more than just the one way I show haha
Love this idea, what would you add to stop your finger going green over time?
This could be pretty cool if you can find two different metals that react to chemicals differently you could make a golden mountain range with anodized blues and reds in the sky over them I think that could look amazing especially if you do something like a gold mountain with a silver lining then the anodized sky colors
Very good .
Thank you 😁👍
Ive been waiting on this one 👍😁
Me too haha sorry it took so long 😅
Awesome Randy definitely going to try it 😁👍
Awesome, let me know how it turns out 😁👍
Where did you learn that solder joint trick? That was neat!
hi, thank you ;)
😁👍
Happy green fingers!
Yeah that will happen if you don't seal them or plate the inside. 😅👍
@angelaksams I really like the way the two different thicknesses looks! What is the difference in gauges? 18 and 20? 16 and 20? Thanks, man!
I don't know the gauges bit it's 0.6mm and 0.8mm
Hi. Id love to try make a bangel with this idea. This tyoe of technique i guess. I am thinking if i order 0.5mm in one material and the other in 0.5mm then glue together same technique as i said butbin bagle form. Do you think that wouod work? Or would it be too thick? Anyhow great design truly beautiful
I’ve not been making rings for a long time but I’m about to make a dark crystal ring. I’ve already made the base ring all I need to do now is add the crystal. do you know what kind of glue I should use?
Very nice
💚💚🌹🌹❤❤
Thanks 😊
Super pomysł💡💪👍, wykonanie🏅🏆 i efekt💯🥇. Podoba mi się😍, dostępne dla każdego materiały👏, pomysł przemyślany💭👷♂️👌, zaplanowany🧐🤓, wykonanie z dokładnym tlumaczeniem📢🔍🛠️💬👍, może ciut zbyt długie to tłumaczenie lecz skoro tak trzeba 😜🙂 🤔🔬🙂
Thanks 😁
So if using more expensive metals like gold and silver, is there any way to make such a single ring (only one per design) using half the material? Or would that involve just making the gauge of sheet and width of ring band thinner?
Also, with the difference in melding/heating temps between two metals, how do you know what solder to use for your joint, and do you heat one piece more (longer than the other to get an even temp or is that not a worry?
Really like this idea.
Also really like puzzle rings that aren’t soldered together but fit like this.
Good video!
Thanks for sharing this video, I was a little curious about seeing the solder line (it was visible after sanding) that appeared on one of the rings when you were smoothing & buffing out the rings. It is something I have not seen on a finished ring. Was I missing something here? I liked the concept of using two two diffent metals for the end effect here.
Yeah, on copper you will have a solder line. You can try an hide it with some copper plating buy from what I have seen in the past, most people really don't care about it 😊
Good
Thanks
Прекрасно!!
Hiya What is that 60 grit rotary disc you used? I have rubber and bristle, but I've never seen one like that.
Hi there i was wondering what software you use to size the mountain rangers to the size of the ring blank? Thank you!
Hello. I love the one with different thicknesses!
What is the size of your blade? Can a 3/0 take angles like that?
Thank you.
So if you want them to have different thickness like my copper and brass ones, I just used 0.6mm copper and 0.8mm brass.
As for the saw blade, I used the 3/0 for all of this even though bits not really meant to cut metal that is that thick. 😁👍
Help, I used 18 gauge copper and sterling glued them together then sawed the pieces. Then torch unglued them. Now when I go to solder the copper and sterling mountains don’t fit snuggly together because the saw blade created a gap the width of the blade. Since solder won’t fill gaps what do you suggest I do? Thanks in advance for your help. In gratitude, Tina
I REALLY like your rings. You described and showed everything perfectly. Just a minor point: would it have been easier to sand the surfaces of the soldered strip before forming it into a ring. Many Thanks.
Thank you very much. Yeah you could do it that way too, idk if it would be easier but it would work. 😊👍
@@GomeowCreations i was thinking the same thing, how come it wouldn’t be as easy?
I didn't say it wouldn't be easier, I don't know if it would be easier or not seeing that I haven't done it 😅
@@GomeowCreations ahhh got it. Beautiful ring by the way. I’ve wanted to get into jewelry making for a while now (rings, chains, etc) but dont even know where to start in terms of materials and equipment. Any advice?
Thank you for replying to the comment so quickly.
I forgot to ask a question that what is the size of the saw blade you used for cutting 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm copper plates?
I used a 3/0 to cut them into the ring blanks and after I glued them together I still used the same blade even though you should use something else. 😁👍
Do you ever run into issues with galvanic corrosion?
Sorry if asked already, link to saw/sawblade. Thanks
That is a real cool project , I'm going to do it in silver and 14 yellow. Dumb question : how did you do that one that shows mountain protruding
Just use different thickness of metal. Like the copper and brass ones that I have I used 0.6mm copper and 0.8mm brass. Make sure to solder them on a flat surface so the inside can me more flat and the out side will have more of a protrusion.
@@GomeowCreations , thank you.
Do you ever use a lap joint instead of a butt joint to close the ring?
These would look so good in my rubbish bin next to the veggie peelings. Thank you so much ! 😁
Wait, what?
Question
And maybe I missed this. What sealer do you use for the copper? I find that the copper turns the finger green. I and looking for a good sealer for copper jewelry.
So the sealers that I have used in the past work but they really don't last that long depending on how acidic the persons skin is. One thing that you can do that might last a lot longer is use a clear UV resin.
Question, please HELP. I followed your instruction but used my own drawing. Here’s my problem I need help with: the saw blade leaves a small gap the size of the blade so when I put the copper and sterling pieces together b4 soldering there is a slight gap. Solder is not supposed to be used to fill gaps so I am not sure what to do. Please respond and thank you in advance.
The most important thing I learned here is that solder can flow upwards! The things I did not know!
This was equally fascinating as a 'how is it done' mystery solved, as well as an excellent demo, many thanks! ☺
So generous of you to share your knowledge and beautiful craftsmanship. You are an excellent teacher! 😍
After darkening and wire wheel polishing - wow! Superb. I love the contrast!!!
Metals in two thicknesses, so clever! I love that raised look with the subtle patina shading, what an artist!
The background music gave me a headache and made it hard to hear your voice. Music is not a good idea in demos. 😵💫
Natural sounds and voice are very soothing and Zen.
Well thanks and I no longer put any music in my videos 😁👍
Use plain paper and Cyanoacrylate to hold it on the piece you will have no worry about it lifting off when cutting the paper and glue can then be sanded off when needed.
Yeah that would also work well for this. I use the label paper on larger pieces of metal so it has a kinda brim to them and it has no problem with sticking. It's just when it's a tight fit that it becomes a problem 😊. That being said I will do that in the future.
For many people, copper and brass will turn their skin green. You could avoid that with this project by making a very thin gauge inner silver ring as a "liner". Some people also dip their copper and brass work in clear lacquer which may also help with keeping it from tarnishing. The lacquer will wear off over time tho, especially with an everyday ring.
I’ll gladly stick to his method so a person can see the pattern from the inside and also protect it using his methods he mentions in several of his other videos.
Clear hard resin is very good for sealing the metal if you want to do that 😁👍
does your ring mandrel have sizing marks at the top of it? Measer from the 0 down to what ever size you what and that should be the lenth you need
It had numbers down the side to you can tell what size it is
Hello Love the rings 😊 buy I have question does Copper make your finger go back?
Green or black, yes
@@GomeowCreations well okay. So can you put a clearcoat on the in side or how would you prevent oxidizing? Thanks for getting back so quick 🤗
10:58 use a round rod and rub the edge where paper folds.
Yeah, that would have helped haha
Spectacular video!! I am goin to try one of these tomorrow!! How do you keep the copper from tarnishing and turning someone's fingers green? New supporter!!
So the earliest way to keep the silver Frome reacting with peoples skin is to line the inside of the ring in silver. Basically a silver core. Just about all clear coats that I have used don't last very long.
@@GomeowCreations would stainlees steel work, like 304?
Yes but you would have to buy a pre done ring core or cut one out with a lathe seeing that you can make it from a sheet of it
@@GomeowCreations that will work. I have copper, brass and stainless steel. Thank you so much!!
Just keep in mind that you can't really solder stainless steel so you will have to make the outer banks press fit or keep it on with a glue
When you want to soften silver, do you heat it, then let it cool without dipping it in water?
You heat it up and you can let it cool or put it into water, it really doesn't matter
Please could you do the same thing except with black and copper rather than gold and copper?
Great job. But my question is how do you seal them so they do not turn your finger green? Thank you
Of all my educated teachers, you are a professional and a fun instructor to learn from. Thank you
Hey, to start off thank you for the wonderful tutorial however I had one question. When I tried using your math formula, Instead of measuring the inside of a ring that was the size I wanted, I measured the outside of the mandrel. I was aiming for a size 8, and used a 23 gauge or about .5 mm piece of sheet metal. I got about 18.5 from the outside of mandrel, added the width of the sheet metal and cut out a 59 mm blank. It was a size short, could you help me figure out what I did wrong?
You followed the instructions just fine. The bit I think he missed is that you need to double the thickness of the sheet you’re measuring for the math because that sheet will lay around the mandrel, so it needs to be accounted for twice when adding it to the diameter.
I love this. I'm going get to this project... could I use e6000 glue?
No, don't use e6000 to do this. It's just going to make a mess and will not hold up over time. This is more or less a soldering project. Also don't use a soldering iron or soft electrical solder, you will need a torch and hard silver solder. 😊👍
@@GomeowCreations I actually meant when you glue the wo metals together for sawing. Tks.
Oh lol yeah you can do that 😅
where did you get the miter block? thanks for video
This one =) amzn.to/2vNQv0H
Can I ask what flux you use ? I'm not liking my flux anymore and need something new to try.
I use this amzn.to/2J4i8WE
Can you put the brass and copper one in the pickling solution?
Yep
In 7:05 what does this tool call? Or what is the name of the tool?
Amazing art honestly
But what about copper greenish on finger ????
Thanks and you can do that by coating the inside with a clear coat or even making the inside using a thin bit of silver on the inside will last the longest. 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations brilliant tip
Nailpolish does it help ?
Hi, how do you prevent a ring from forming on your finger as a result of the copper?
Put a clear coat on it or some clear hard resin.
How do you harden the rings so they don't deform when they have something pressed hard against them? For example whilst working
Well hammering them in to the ring shape will work harden the metal but if you really want to you can throw then into a tumbler and that Weill also help work harden the metal. 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations Great thanks. Fantastic workmanship and imagination to come up with the design in the first place
How do you go about valuing your work? Just getting started in making jewelry myself and am having a hard time deciding on pricing. So far I've made 1 pendant from 304 stainless and a shiva eye shell teardrop. It was a rather large pendant and an involved process, machined it out on a manual mill. I managed to sell it for $80, but I feel like that was both too low and too high at the same time. I put around 14 hours of time into it, but the materials weren't worth much. They were just very difficult to work with. I originally wanted $150 for it, but I accidentally took too much out on the facing side of the seating area. My wife talked me down to $80.
I use a random number generator.... I'm kidding but yeah you are going to have a hard time selling stainless steal items like that. You are competing with cheap Chinese items along with the metal not really being worth anything so most people will just not pay for it. According to your under you only got about $6 per hour for your work and that is not including materials. Even at your $150 price point is only $10 per hour.
I'm not saying that you can't get more money for them but you have to find a way to add value to your work but I can't tell you how to do that seeing that I really don't know. Sorry I can't me of more help. 😅👍
@@GomeowCreations no worries, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. It's an interesting spot to be in for sure. When I get it down well and am making flawless pieces I could probably charge more just on the principle of it being hand crafted art. I mean painters do it XD. I think I might save the gemstones for more precious materials, and try my hand at simple engravings for the stainless. Or maybe just drop that material altogether except for very simple pieces. It's a real pain to work with. Gotta say I'm jealous of the way silver smiths get to wrap the bezel wire around the stone to make the setting. So much easier.
You can always get some silver 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations I'm definitely going to. Just gotta make one more piece from the stainless. I was doing 2 as mother's day gifts on sort of a commission. In fairness I have to do both similar. After I get paid for those I'll be experimenting with some pure silver coins I've bought over the years to see what I can do in the way of casting. If that fails, I'll remelt them into sheet metal and go from there.
