- Free Project Sheets and helpful info in the video description. Check it out.
In this video I show you how to add a brass inlay but you can keep it simple if you want and just leave it wood. I made a Tri-Force from the Legend of Zelda because it is fairly easy. There are two ways to add the brass. Solid sheets or brass powder. The solid brass I used is .016” thick. (see link below) You can go thicker even up to .026” or more, but I would not go much thinner thank .016". The brass powder way is not as shiny but I encourage you to try both ways for the experience. You can add other designs or shapes, even small stones can be attached. I hope you get a chance to make a wood ring because it really is fun.

Thanks so much for watching and for all your support. I am super grateful to every one of you for watching, commenting, sharing and being the whole reason I upload these videos!

why am i watching a 42 minute video about something i'm never gonna do?
it's a good video though. no hate
I watched the whole video not realizing that much time passed
lol, it wasn't until I saw this comment that I realized how long it was. Doesn't seem like it! :)
same here, its 3am. I've watched GMM @ 10pm and ended up here.
The same reason people love watching movies about dinosaurs, even though they will not likely ever own one.
lol me too
I’m an amateur woodworker and I’ve made a few wooden rings for myself so I can wear them instead of ruining my wedding ring and this video has given me more than a few ideas to help speed up my process for the next one! Great job!
*I am in the military. Currently stationed in ND and originally from MI. Love all of your videos. I've watched all of them multiple times, including the three part videos that are hours long. Merry Christmas HappyAtom.
+Levi Bixel You may be interested in the next video ;-)
+HappyAtom Can't wait!
+Levi Bixel Ok, I'll just tell you. You were one of the winners on the giveaway. Contact me here with your mailing address: ua-cam.com/users/HappyAtomIRLabout
+HappyAtom Oh! That's what you meant by the next video. ☺️ I thought you were hinting at a really long video. I can't believe I won! This is the first time I've won a raffle/giveaway in my life.
This is just what I was looking for. How to make quality wooden jewley with fillings, with the use of simple hand tools rather then expensive machinery.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the good instructions! I just finished a Harry Potter-themed ring with the engraving "ALWAYS" as a Christmas gift for my best friend :) Half an inch is way too thick, though! Had to sand it down a lot. I hope my friend likes it, I think self made gifts are awesome, and even better if they look good.
nicest nails/fingertips I've ever seen on a crafter. most smiths' hands look like gnarled troll toes.
Funny!
I came here for the Triforce emblem. But did I spot a Navi moment? Gotta love the ring.
I would totally do this for an engagement ring!
If I had the tools for it.
If I had a girlfriend.
Hand Sanitizer Attack #SingleLife
Hand Sanitizer Attack hahahaha me too
I feel sorry for u
Hand Sanitizer Attack it would be worth more to your bride if you made it your self
cheaper to make the ring for yourself and no drama..well except for getting the super glue off your fingers..still at the end of the day...you made it for you and you still have independence...LOL...(mother of 3 sons right here.)
This vid probably has the least hate I've seen with this much liked
you must live under a rock braah
a lot less than IW Trailer for sure xD

I've been looking for inspiration for my own products and new channel after letting my old YT channel tumbleweed into nothingness. And you're back to UA-cam after a long break too. THANK YOU for posting this 4 years ago. I'm buying laminate tomorrow! What can I say except.... WE LIKE IT VERY MUCH :) . X Caz
"this guy showed me hes makeing these cool wood rings and selling them. so heres how you make them instead"
Well it's a fun easy project. But a lot of people are still going to buy more expertly made ones anyway because they are a better quality and for convenience.
+Laura Perez yeas you have really right😂😂😂
@@ayeshasaeed3140yeah of course he has, saw the photos on the mayflower.
Even though the video was long, these rings seem super easy to make and moreover do not require any high tech tools or something ! Am gonna make a bunch of these for people and myself ! Thanks a lot ! hoping for more such projects ! :)
ha love the 'Hey! Listen! annotation
I watched some other videos on how to make wood rings and I believe that this is one of the easiest way to do it...thanks for posting
Super glue was developed to glue wounds. That's why it's so miserable at gluing almost everything except your skin.
Just..wow
The original cyanoacrylates (the chemical name for the glue) were discovered in 1942 in a search for materials to make clear plastic gun sights for the war, and scientists stumbled upon a formulation that stuck to everything that it came in contact with. However, cyanoacrylates were quickly rejected by American researchers precisely because they stuck to everything! In 1951, cyanoacrylates were rediscovered by Eastman Kodak researchers Harry Coover and Fred Joyner, who recognized its true commercial potential, and it was first sold as a commercial product in 1958.
+DrSchoen my resistant materials teacher cut their finger and glued it and continued
xD
ZackMusic
awsom
Metal files to fill in inlays is a great idea. It can allow for mush more complex in lays!
I really liked the powder method. Seems less fiddly than cutting and filing triangles to the right size. I also allows for more intricate patterns. Subbed. =)
Zelda fans will love this. I know a couple that is OBSESSED with tloz and I think they would love a ring like this when they get married. PS you earned a subscriber!
Now the Ring of Sauron will be mine

this takes mad patience when putting in the brass. I was getting frustrated just watching. props to you for staying so calm
If you want to improve bending process, i would soak the veneer in ammonia hydroxide rather than hot water. Its a little nastier (safety wise) but the wood won't kink and once dry, it will 'set' in the new shape rather than slightly springing back.
Also a ring mandrel is like £7...
I didn't finish watching the video when i wrote this, you used super glue?! wood glue too good for you? godamn pva would have suited this job better.
+Stephen Bathory I will have to try that some time. Thanks for the suggestion. The superglue makes the wood waterproof and rock solid.
+Colin John Cunningham Way to make what could have been a helpful comment sound pretentious as all hell. Not sure if you meant it that way but you come off as more of a snob who like to throw big words around not a professional. Also next time you leave a comment like that, there's really no need to tell someone that you didn't like the project first like he was looking for that validation before you add your two cents.
+Stephen Bathory I definitely wouldn't use wood glue, because not only it isn't waterproof (by far!), but all the stuff emitted by the human skin would make it fall apart in no time. I'm assuming that the maker of the rings would want his rings to be wearable....
+ZombieAlchemist As a fellow but mere amateur woodworker, I also didn't
care for the obviously amateurish nature of the video (the figure/chatoyance(the optical waviness in the wood is called "curl" and NOT made based on how it's cut as the ignorant video states, but an uncommon way the wood grows). Also, bent wood lamination can be done using water for soaking and also with PVA glue, but also as corrected, other fluids and adhesives are much more suited o this particular project since it's a very tight wind as well as needing to be waterproof, which obviously this amateur that only saw
someone do something cool and wanted to make a buck off putting this up would not know - a disservice to the watchers as well as the true pros that put other more informative and correct videos up on the topic. I'm NOT a pro woodworker as stated, but a decent amateur who appreciates Colin for saying he's a Pro since it differentiates himself from the video author as someone who actually knows what he's talking about, as opposed to simply being pretentious!
Thanks anyway HappyAtom for sparking people's creativity and possibly getting people into the craft, a rewarding and useful hobby. I'd just do a little more research first so as not to mislead your viewers or sound too much like you have no idea what you're doing to anyone with just a little knowledge about the subject.
Additionally, if the springback isn't as much of an issue, you could still use Tightbond III since it is waterproof. After which, a finish will protect it better from acids and moisture from fingers (varnish is most suitable or a oil/varnish like Watco Danish Oil, which can be re-applied as it wears) .
probably the only thing I'll ever be able to make from these diy videos.
Dude really good ideas and cool. I build guitars and you gave me an excellent idea thanks brother
I am a new subscriber* and I love Zelda. I am originally from Southern California, and I presently reside in Hot Springs, AR. What a change, huh. Well I love it here. There are a lot of friendly people in the South. I am a down to earth musician who loves to sing and write songs*. I hope I am doing this right...Everyone out there, have an awesome day, if not, it will get better. 1 Love.
Its not often that youtube gets its suggestions right, but now it did! Glad i found your channel! Nice project, i might try this one day! Have a great 2016!
+Willem Kossen Thank you!
+HappyAtom Hey, What do you need to make this? And i hope you don't need clamps, It's kinda hard to watch a 42 minute video hahaha
That detail on some of the wood (The lines going the other direction to the grain) Is called figuring, It is a natural feature of some trees which happens because of abnormal growth in the tree. Basically it doesn't grow straight up but wiggles up. This kind of wood is much harder to work with because of the irregular grain but is very pretty and used quite often on musical instruments like violins and guitars. Furniture makers use it a lot as well.
ive watched this video all the way through a few times and am now making my first ring. I'll post pics when I'm done but I've already found a couple obstacles that I will share
If Link gave that ring to Zelda, she would love it!
Your video is brilliant and your voice is surprisingly hypnotical to listen to
-_- . . . I feel like such an idiot. When he was sanding I tried to blow the saw dust away.
AHHH MY EYES
+Elham Naderi What??
When you blow it it would of gone in your eyes! 😵
+SUPERMAR10312 XD
+SUPERMAR10312 when he was glueing i was squinting my eyes becuase i thoguth there was going to be fumes.
This looks so incredibly easy!!! I was ready to see a lathe and jewelers saws and resin but no! Shockingly easy! Actually looking forward to trying this sometime in the future.
Wood master, tell me, please, tell me your secrets
This was pretty cool.. something that is fun and easy that anyone can do.. and also could make a good gift for a girlfriend or boyfriend for valentines day or christmas
Muito bom amigo!!! Forma simples de se fazer arte!! parabéns!!
Thank you!
Frankly speaking..I'm not into wood and stuff, but your passion into this area grows a interest in me to make one of those. Will surely make a ring ..and its on my to-do list. Great work! :)
love this! I can't wait to try it!
Your comprehensive video description earned a subscription. It makes it easy to start a project with those handy procurement links.
Very nice. You got yourself a new subscriber! Good job! Thank you!

Same! :)
never too old to learn something new ... thanks for sharing !
I was like omg December 7th didn't even come up yet xD....oh 2015...Who's watching this Before December 7th 2016?
Kawai Enos, Jr. Dec. 2 lol
gfy
A bit late to mention this, but we made our engagement rings using this concept (with different inlay though), five years ago. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I feel sorry for your hands O_O
Saskia Hartmann that's why he needs a ring, jewelry is a distraction from imperfections..
Hey, you could use tape to position the triangles when marking the veneer, also, once the veneer is cut in depth, you coudl position the triangles and use tape again to hold the position. then, when you put superglue, you would not glue your fingers by presing on tape instead of triangles. Cheers
I only clicked because of legend of zelda. Sorry
same lol
and I thought it was an illuminati symbol smh
Get out.
Burrito Draws same
Cool project. A tip I would like to suggest would be to wrap and rubber band your wet veneer right onto socket with the extension and leave it on there until after the gluing, inlaying, gluing and final sanding of the outer part of the ring before removing it from the socket to finish the edges and inside of the ring. If you can mount the extension/socket to a drill or lathe, you can speed up the finishing processes and eliminate most of the physical contact with the CA glue.
how do still have skin on your fingers? dude
awesome! i think, if you wear that and look at it it means a lot more than just buying a ring. you made it yourself :) this might be a great present for people who like rings!
19:20 - Why not just glue them while they're still in? It is penetrating glue after all.
+MrSeagull
Penetrating doesn't mean it penetrates brass and gluing it before setting the brass makes sure they're glued on the back as well instead of just the sides.
My Dad is in his mid-forties and only has back problems because of an injury during his time in the navy so your good bro
''It's really easy'' *looks at video length* over 40 min *thinks it's not easy*
do you think making actual rings is an easy process :) I think "it's really easy" is all in compared to what... compared to a week making a ring... yup 40 mins is easy lol
i watch this vid on Morning 5:50 o' clock meanwhile it's 6:34 o' clock i dont knew that the vid is so long its feels like 10 minutes
The amount of time does not indicate how hard something is if u watch UA-cam for over 40 mins it's not hard
make one out of a metal, go on ill count, ill see you in a few weeks
i dont think he has finished making it still 5 months later
Awesome! I saw your video this week, ordered some veneers, a good superglue and made my first 3 rings today. I like tinkering with wood and these rings are so simple to make and look great. Guess i need more fingers soon :D Thank you!
So cool! Thanks for your comment.
all my favorite video's express the depression of aging in there beginings.
16:14 Which tool did you use? Or did you have that ones? I'd like to try...
Is there any hardware store that I can get veneer at. I went to Home Depot, Hobby Lobby and no store has the veneer you use in this video. Any suggestions would help
You wont find it at any of those stores. Just some woodworking stores carry it. I have several links in the description for buying it on amazon. Here are a few:
My favorite veneer packs for rings:
Domestic Variety: amzn.to/2e4pxoo
Cherry: amzn.to/2dGGEkw
Maple: amzn.to/2ekIdmR
Walnut amzn.to/2dGGjOv
Rockler is a woodworking supply company. They have physical stores all over the USA as well as online. Top quality stuff in every catagory. www.rockler.com/wood/veneer
You can also make your own veneer with a bandsaw. There are videos on UA-cam to help you out with that.
A sharpening stone would come in handy for your exacto blades.
Also, you could use clear fingernail polish for a clear coat to protect it.
Nice project. Thank you for sharing.
Can i paint the wood? Let's say black?
Yes.
You'd be better off staining it :)
Thanks. :)
Or you know, getting ebony veneer instead.
I tried ebony veneer. It's near impossible to bend that tight.
Wish Ytube existed when i had woodcrafts back in school... This is awsome!
You could easily apply any suitable water based wood dye, to achieve any desired color (purple, pink, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, black, etc., etc.! Perhaps buy slabs used for making knife handles, (made from a wide variety of materials)!
Why did i watch all 40 mins of this video, I dont even have sand paper!
You just made me notice how much time I've spent with this video :v
Actually REALLY liked the earlier jagged one!! Set in resin and then finished would still present a decent end result (in my thinking) Many Thanks for you post
what cloth should i use when coating glue?
In the ring test video I show what to use. It's the shop paper towels.

*LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the ring you made! I am going to try to do a couple with my grandchildren.
Liked for your 20+ year passion for MST3K.
Was one of my favorite shows back when I was a teenager.
When you thouht that the video was 8-10 minutes long and you realize is actually 42:00 minutes 😐
Love this ring making video. I'm going to try it and put my own spin on it and if it turns out I will send a video to boot. Thank you I enjoyed watching this.
rod from barrow in furness ,cumbria ,uk
lov the rings never seen woodern rings before
i will have a go at it
thanks rod
This looks like alot of fun when i was working i always used my hands and i feel like I'm
going crazy becuz i have nothing to do.I love this. Awesome job on showing people how to make them.Ty.
can u be my dad?
as i was looking for handicrafts that i could do at home, i came along this video, now im doing my woodrings, ill show you my work as long as ive figured out how to attache pics in the comment here, till then, thanks
i dont think there is an option to add pics in the comments here at youtube, i really wanted to share my works to every body
Fixing that triforce was quite the quest 'ey. Well done looks good :)!
This is the first time that I see your channel and I love it. I'll try to do the ring
Just started making rings and small carvings. Been using what I've been told is sapili (sic?), just got some oak from my dad. Made a ' Ying Yang' two piece ring. Love making 'fiddly' stuff.
I suggest a idea for gluing the laiton tri-force, when you placed it first (before gluing), you can place a tape on, and the three piece will be on the tape and you'll be able to replace on the holes with the superglue
haha 26 and have the same thing going on with the same arm, the pain i can deal with fine, not the fact that even a few years ago that kinda thing was not even a thought to me haha, awesome vid, thank you :)
This is brilliant. And thank you for telling us what sanding grit grade you used each time... very useful!!!!
Wow this will help my dad is trying to figure out how to do wood copper inlay
This is a pretty interesting way for making wooden rings with an inlay. The difference between the metal powder is pretty noticeable even after sanding though, but adds a nice effect to it I guess.
+CoolKoon Yeah... almost a glitter effect.
omg the part where you're gluing in the triangles... Everything was so planned out and strategic until that point. Then all hell broke loose. I wanted to reach in and help you. lmao.
Very cool video. Another option for filling in any open spaces would be to use 5 minute epoxy and masking tape. It's a trick I use to fix gauges in gun stocks, but it would work for this with whatever powder/metal you want to mix with the epoxy. Lots of color options when you go to pigments. I've made coin rings before, but it looks like this will be my next project
Fahhhhhbulous - now I know how to make one for my bass playing pal which will be so appropriate!
Some quick tips: You can buy different shaped hole punches (or even have them made) Just punch the hole near the end of the strip that will be on the outside and use the same punch to punch out your filler metal from a foil that is about the same thickness as the wood and you get a perfect fit. The socket and tape was a nice idea, but it would be easier if you put the tape on inside out. Then you can just use your socket extension in a drill to do the sanding.
This is awesome! i will have to try this out and i loved and still love mystery science theater 3000. My friend and I made Santa vs Satan Christmas special a tradition to watch around Christmas. Thanks for everything!
I like you as soon as I have a few real ones but lost them this one is easy to make and fairly inexpensive. plus it looks nice I really want to try making at least one.
You've just killed me when I've seen how compact the powder looks into the sockets!!!
Hey man i am not an expert but i really liked the way you explained stuff and i see that you even evolved from your own method (using brass strips to powder :) ), Keep up the work
Thanks
Yo this is some grueling work. Props to you man. Maybe one day I'll try it, maybe sell some, but they take so long to create! Good job, love it.
right tools for the right job man. tweezers for the fiddly inlay stuff.
Thanks again for this video! I saved it for later because I found it really great! Gonna FINALLY try it. So thanks again!
Thanks for the video, love the idea of filing the metal, can be very creative with using different metals to make color designs.
thanks for the vid. fyi, the 'suede or microfiber' light changes that you see when tilting the wood is called chayotance. You can also soften wood in several ways. One way is to used Downy fabric softener in hot water (it's stinky, though). Also, a wax-pencil made for picking up glass beads might be useful for picking up the brass inlays.
Hey dear is Toni from Germany. You inspired me a Lot. i wanna make One of These for my Girl. i Hope i Can Send some pics too. the Translation is awesome. These Guy did a awesome Job. thx from here
interesting way to make a few sideline bucks - Just hope that your demand doesn't overwhelm - which could be a good thing I suppose... The second way you made the ring with the metal dust looks to be much faster and easier (especially on the fingers!)
Great work!!
Acetone works great for getting the CA glue off your hands. It dissolves dried CA.
Thanks for the great vid. Really cool stuff.
Also, check out Milliput. Great stuff for working inlays. Metal powders work in real well with that putty before pushing it into the inlay. Milliput comes in colors.
Love the MST3K references, especially at the end
1st time viewer love the rings.. I'm disabled so I have alot of time as u can tell.. this is a idea I will try in near future.. TY again.. also I subscribed and did notifications button
Thank you for this tutorial! Happy with my new ring!
Hi this is my first time on your channel, I am from Chile and I loved this, this is definitely what I going to make with my bare hands as a gift to my girl thank you so much for the tutorial :D
Great video! You are very clear and you really seem like a nice guy! Great project! Will be makin' some rings! THANX A LOT!
i think this is the first time ever i will hit subscribe
the wood that you can see the figure (where you say the light changes) is maple, which comes in a number of different figures. the purple wood you mention is called purple heart. Another wood that you might find interesting is rainbow eucalyptus.
