To create the bangle I used American Walnut veneer and super glue.
The finish I used was Tru Oil Gun Stock Finish.

nice to see what black walnut wood looks like. we have some young trees in the local parks.
That came out great! I've never seen lamination done with super glue but it appears to have worked well!
+Peter Brown thanks man, yeah it works pretty well. Basically a giant version of a bent wood ring!
Finally i found the video thank you so much, you have no idea how long ive been looking for your video.
This looks so cool. My order of veneer panels arrived today so I hope to try this sometime this week. hopfully i'll be able to do the hip flask next for my friends birthday.
legionwermany awesome, send me a pic on Instagram when you’re done!
Parabéns eu estou fazendo algo parecido e aprovo seu trabalho Parabéns
turned out excellent as always man. think we will be doing some of these soon.
Very interesting i am looking into bending wood for model vehicles and found this helpful thanks
Thank you I’m glad it helped! I’m no expert on bending thicker pieces of wood but thin veneer is real easy :)
Nice informative video, just a thought, you could wrap the form with clear packing tape and that should stop it from sticking to the form.
+Jim D Indeed that would work very well I believe, you may just need to adjust the size of the former slightly so the bangle doesn't come out too big!
Thanks for the great videos! I'd love to see more, maybe about how to add inlays to a bent wood ring/bangle?
lovely project
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your skills! 🥰😘🇨🇦 P.S Hope you are using your cast offs for matching earrings.. 😉
Love Tru-Oil. Maybe a light coat of wax on the form would prevent sticking?
Nice skills!
That came out great! Love that idea. :) - Heidi
Perhaps you might try to: first wrap your wooden form with a thin layer of teflon tape, or, varnish it first, then wax coat it, heavily, (using carnauba paste wax).
Yes that definitely works man!
What a great idea! I'm an amateur luthier and I'm always looking for things to do with my scrap bent sides. Question: Why did you thin the ends of each piece before hand? Is that just to make the lamination easier somehow?
Thanks dude! I thinned out the ends of the veneer to make wrapping easier. If you skip that step there will be a massive kink in the wraps which gets worse with every layer of wood.
Very nice Dan. I don't know that I would have the dedication, or memory, to go back every day for a week to apply the gunstock oil...but the results are spectacular.
+ProspectorBill thanks man, yeah Tru Oil does take patience to work with but it's amazing stuff. I heard about it from a luthier and just thought that if it makes a nice finish on a guitar then it should work great on jewellery too!
Glad to see this video..
Good works, i want to give a try to make one. And just subscribe your channel. Thanks 🙏
cool!
Hey Zebrano, did your veneer come with a paper backing? I can't seem to find any that doesn't have a layer of something to help it glue to a surface for its intended purpose.
Great video, thank you very much! I will try it myself today.
Which gloves do you use, do they get glued to the wood?
Thanks again, I just use standard latex gloves normally. I pic them up from my local diy store :)
I guess with bangles they work fine, but when I used them for making rings, which are much smaller, they kept getting glued to the wood. Thank you for the info!
very nice.....
How much time need to boiling the wood ?
How long need to dry the boiled wood bended ?
I saw one guy use wax paper on the molds. The blanks seem to come right off.
What kind of finished can you use on bentwood products? I know the superglue finish but what about the rest?
Nice !
+Kaged Creations thanks bro, I see you've been putting out some vids too and hope you're enjoying doing this UA-cam thing!
shows!!!
great suff here, thanks for sharing. Does this process work with pine in the same way?
I know this comment is a year old but
It can work with any wood, regardless of how hard. Like he said, the amount of time depends on the species. Most wood workers actually use steam to bend pieces up to several inches thick. I actually use the steam method to straighten pieces of wood I've harvested to turn into canes.
The important thing about it though, is that the wood needs to be properly dry and seasoned before you go and bend it by boiling it or steaming it otherwise, it'll just return to it's original shape and "unbend" itself.
Hi!
Great work man:) Can you suggest anything about sizing the bracelets like this? Or maybe a website with printable templates you are talking about?
Thank you!
Hey man, sorry for the late reply on this! I'd recommend maybe investing in a bracelet mandrel or google search "Bangle sizes" and there are tons of images to help you :)
Thanks man for the reply! will do more research. you keep up the awesome job;)!
Great video, thanks for posting! Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using wood glue rather than CA?
Wood glue will take longer to dry and doesn't dry clear.
From personal experience, I usually prefer wood glue. If you're a careful woodworker you really can't go wrong using wood glue. I also like that it takes longer to cure because it gives me a little wiggle room in adjusting and readjusting so everything gets lined up nice and flush. However, I recently tried making a bangle out of a single long veneer strip (do NOT recommend doing this) and in that specific case I would absolutely recommend using a fast-curing glue because wrangling the unglued veneer strip is hard enough without also having to apply constant tension holding the glued section in place. For that project, using wood glue actually resulted in some parts of the bangle separating because I was juggling too many things at once (though I'm sure someone more skilled could pull it off, and the real lesson there is not to make a bangle out of a single continuous strip).
How is it holding up? I have heard super glue gets really brittle over time.
Hey sorry for the late reply! The bangle is fine however the oil finish needs reapplying
do it yourself , go to woodprix page and learn how .
any luthier that use this instead of bending iron?
He mentioned printable templates. Does anybody know where I might find one? I've been looking for a couple days now, but I haven't had any luck.
I found a template here for round bangles: stores.ebay.com/Sushila-Art/Find-your-Bangle-Size.html
My bangle was basically an oval shape that was 65mm at it's widest and 55mm at it's thinnest with a 25mm section cut out at the back. With these details you should be able either draw out the oval with a compass and pencil or use a tool like photoshop to create the shape. Hope this helps!
Great, thank you very much!
How this bord name
wheres my cuppa??
You should go to woodprix website if you'd like to make it yourself m8s.
