Really nice. I like this longer format video with more details on the process involved.
Great camera work... I can see everything well!
Awesome, thanks Chad!
WoW! This is soooo helpful! You're a really great teacher and that ring is really gorgeous! Nice lathe too. I bought a cheap one but it works for my beginner level work. I look forward to more videos.
so i did the one that came in my subscription package, fiddly and messy but fun. came out very nicely
Thanks for the Great detail in this video.
Thank you so much!! Excellent and mesmerizing, I seriously couldn't look away.
had to watch this video after i opened this month's subscription package! i may be adding a new product to "Artistry in Wood" for this christmas season
Beautiful work, Ioved how it turned out. I bet it feels so satisfying when they turn out even better than you thought they would. Great job!
Looks amazing!
Thanks for showing the process in detail.
Great job! I love how you detailed each step, but sped up the repetitive parts. I'd love to see another video where you take down the inlay (where your battery died).
Great video. I learned quite a bit
Where did you get the collet chuck to hold the ring expander.
Lindo! parabéns!
Awesome job! This encourages me to try new projects!
Hi, is it possible to have the list of the products you use?
And I wish I could do it with some red stones do you have any advice?
Looks awesome
Beautiful work. I'm attempting something similar but with uv resin. Hasn't been working as well as I'd hoped lol
Very nice, I am about to try this for the first time, two rings one for each of my kids. I will be using multiple opals and glow powders, should I use the glow with powder to match the opal? I'm doing a blue, purple, and also orange
That's what I did here, but it's not necessary. You could use straight glow powder with no added mica. You could add mica to make it match the opal, or even make it a contrasting colour. Depends on the look you're going for!
@WilliamWoodWriteLtd ok cool thank you very much.
Very cool ring
Great video
Are the powder and stone chips natural ? Or synthetic?
Cheers
Nice color ring
Thank you! They're fun to make. The opal used here is synthetic. It's composed of 80% silica & 20% resin.
Would like to know more about the lathe. Great video. Thanks for sharing❤
Thanks! It's a Oneway 1224 :)
Gorgeous!💕🇨🇦
Awesome. I was having problems with achieving consistency with the glow in the dark powder. NY sound on my phone doesn't work. What did you mix with the powder to make it a paste was it ca glue or water? I have about 36 stainless steel blanks and a whole box of inlay material from pigments powders n stones. I made a lathe from a 24v electric motor and broke mandrel so I can do 4 or 5 rings all at once. I'm digging it out the shed after seeing this lol
Haha that's amazing! It was thin CA glue to set the mica powder
Nice job. I was linked here from another video where a ring like this was completed with resin. Now I’m wondering why use resin at all when you can just use CA glue?
🔥great vid 👍
Can you make a ring like this using sterling silver or white gold channel inlay base??
Outstanding demonstration, loved the expanded lesson. Quick question, where did you get the collet to hold the ring expander hold, or is it a Morse 2 taper??
Keep up the great work!!
Cheers Bob McCabe
Thank you so much for sharing! What kind of lathe do you use?
Can a man or woman wear that?
What kind of glue?
When you start cutting with the carbide tool, what’s the metal bar that you’re using to support the tool? And where are you mounting that on?
This is a tool rest attached to the bed of the lathe. It's adjustable so you can line it up with your project
Nice
What lathe is that?
What’s the carbide cutting tool you use?
It's a 10.5mm square carbide cutter on the Pen Master Accu-cut chisel
Would like to have seen the part where you cut the channel for CA or a close up of the channel
You can see it best at about 12:42 where the opal is cut just below the walls of the ring. I'll do another video showing this done up close
What is the rotary machine name
It's a One Way lathe :)
Nice video! too bad your battery went dead-would have been nice to see the missing part.
What lathe do u use?
We use a Oneway lathe in the shop
You really need to rough up inlay channel with sandpaper or your inlay will fall out.
Thanks, I'll try this next time!
What lathe did you use?
