Not going to lie, the way you overlayed your sponsorship video over your work is Much more effective than how a lot of creators just tag on a full minute to the beginning or end of their videos.
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's really effective at keeping the video interesting even during a sponsor message most of us have heard dozens of times.
You can mask the internal wear band with Urushi lacquer while it is in the acid bath to keep it perfectly smooth. Then polish it out after and repaint it back in very lightly to create a protective layer so that those wearers sensitive to copper and silver will not be discolored. It is non-toxic and lasts for years. Urushi is the lacquer created to layer paper and leather in the armor of the Japanese Samurai. It was so impenetrable that in some cases it absorbed the energy of black powder rounds at close range. Prized for its properties it is still used in some high end furniture making and creating protective layers for sensitive jewelry wearers.
Have you ever tried to put your ring mandrel on a cordless drill lock the ring into the mandrel and then take it to the buffing wheel while the ring is spinning on the drill. I find you get an awesome polish that way.
Your rings are so beautiful!! I’m recovering from my fourth spinal fusion and am starting to make rings so I can keep my mind busy. Wish I had an expanding ring mandrel. But financially not able to order been off work for 2 years. But your videos have given me so much!! Love watching them I think I’ve watched every one of them and looking forward to seeing more!!! Your awesome!!!
I swears everyone I watch one of your vids, you just keep surprising me with the amazing rings and results you get on them xxx I like this one, not a true fan of the goldish look, but I like this type xx thanks for showing spud xx
Hey Patrick 👋, wow, that ring is outstanding. I really like the way the lines come out. Very crazy pattern on it. The different metals in it makes the ring pop out. Very nice ring.😎
Always good to watch someone doing something they are interested in. I think I watch for the process and any methods I could use for individual links. I wanna make chains and individual links with good quality makes a difference in quality. Not really the same but knowledge never hurts.
I'm also a goldsmith and when I was studying we made a block of mokume from scratch at class, we used brass and copper and the result turned out incredibly intricate. I made lots of interesting pieces at school but my mokume ring remains my favourite because of how unique it looks and I wear it every day, I love looking at it. I'd love to have a faceted one like yours as well, it's beautiful design that makes the most of the mokume effect. Just one thing, if I were you I'd layer some silver on the inside of the band because of the Nickel, to avoid a skin reaction.
I'm a new subscriber and in awe of your talent at your young age. How in the world did you become so adept at machining, lathe work, ect. I'd enjoy a youtube on how you got to where you are. did you have a mentor or learn on your own?
You should really look into how to properly use a lathe. Work holding and concentricity and stuff like that. I don't know much about making rings or anything and they seem to be nice products. But watching you work that lathe was rough for me. If I might make a suggestion one of my favorite channels is thisoldtony. He's an amateur machinist with unique insight and entertaining videos. all the best.
Great ring as always!! I dont know much about ringmaking, however etching I do know a thing or 2 about, if you wanna get rid of the bubbles you could use a feather, also if you wanna play with patterns you could try covering up different parts before puting it in the acid, it could be a cool experiment :D
While the material is cool, I think I'd prefer if the 'grain' patterning was either parallel to the band, or on a diagonal. Perpendicular stripes with two polar sections isn't as appealing to me. I wonder if you could do patterning in rod stock for mokume gane and damascus, I know you can in flat stocks and it can give cool looks to blades.
if you had etched it for longer which of the metals would have etched away more severely? Just trying to imagine how it would have turned out if you had.
I really love these videos, love watching the process and the artistry. But is it a design choice or a necessity to make them that thick? Not sure if you just have really big fingers, or if the footage makes the rings look bigger than they really are, but they look somewhat uncomfortable? Definitely prefer narrower rings, myself.
I started to make mokume gane by my self with good results but its a insane amount of work and because of that my heart starts to bleed After seeing so mutch material just get grined away^^
Hey Patrick, great video, ad incredible ring! thank you for all the effort you put into producing these. I was wondering if you could (or if you already have) put a list together of what you would call "the bare essentials" for getting into ring-making (i.e. lathe, bits, polish, paper, buff wheel, etc.). im just wondering what i would need to begin making basic rings out of nuts or coins or resin as gifts. thanks so much!
In some of my older videos I have a big list with a lot of items you’d need to get started. I’m working on a new and improved version which will be out soon!
To be honest ... after the etch I think I would have stopped with this one . Just left it naked ... the Mokume pattern just popped so well after the flats were ground in . Also would like to see if you could do a revers of this ring " obsidian ring with Mokume Gane sets "
My gosh, this is maybe one of the most beautiful rings you have made yet. It may even beat the Tritium and Damascus ring. I have started my own youtube channel on making my own rings and I would love to be able to sell them. I think that the concept of the obsidian facets is a really cool idea, would you be OK with me using it for my own rings?
Amazing ring, i think its great to use different designs on various materials can you try doing a set of rings made out of objects commonly found in a house, whether it has to be stabilized in resin or can be made without much prep
Excellent young man . How much are these to but as my friend has been in poor health but we don’t have much cash 💰 . If they are a fair price I’ll buy it for him . Cheers
So um, not to complain but how long does it take to make a ring because I ordered one a while ago and haven't gotten it yet and I haven't gotten an email saying it has been shipped
Not going to lie, the way you overlayed your sponsorship video over your work is Much more effective than how a lot of creators just tag on a full minute to the beginning or end of their videos.
I’m glad you liked how we did it!
Yes it was good it came as suprise
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's really effective at keeping the video interesting even during a sponsor message most of us have heard dozens of times.
And a fitting sponsor, I could listen to the sponsor while watching the video! No wasted time! Hah!
@@TheDyingFox And it stops us from just skipping the sponsor!
KILLER intro. Great ring! Cheers! Chris.
Stunning final product 😍. Can’t repeat enough how much I love your rings!

Where can I buy this lacquer? And can I apply it after I get my rings ? We ordered a pair of these rings

Omg I love the mokume gane rings SO MUCH!
Always good to watch someone doing something they are interested in.
I think I watch for the process and any methods I could use for individual links.
I wanna make chains and individual links with good quality makes a difference in quality.
Not really the same but knowledge never hurts.
oh cool! those wood grain rings are really neat, one of these days I will have to purchase one for sure
Honestly that ring is beautiful!
Beautiful ring bro!
Love the ring
I hope you are still making these when I get enough money to buy one lol. This is probably my favorite ring yet.
His voice is calming ☺️
Cool ring man.
So glad to know how to pronounce it at last! Big fan of the mokume but the angles on this one look uncomfortable
Hey Patric I LOVE your videos! You've inspired me to make rings thank you so much for the good quality content! Keep up the good work :)
Finally! Been waiting for you to do another Mokumegane ring! And this one is perferct! Keep it up my man!
Awesome metal mix. Killer ring as always

Love the ring , great introduction and it's always great to have you around.
mayank shah well played I thought there was hair on my screen but it was your profile pic lel
Krinal Doma I got you!
It looks awesome before you etch it!

Good taste, Ready Player One was a great book

Damn I’d want to buy this
6:24 SONG NAME Those Summer Nights - Windshield
I like this one even better than the one I have. I'll have to look up the pricing on your website Patrick.
You are SO talented I LOVE watching your videos!!
Super cool
You should really look into how to properly use a lathe. Work holding and concentricity and stuff like that. I don't know much about making rings or anything and they seem to be nice products.

Dang I want one of those
Great ring as always!! I dont know much about ringmaking, however etching I do know a thing or 2 about, if you wanna get rid of the bubbles you could use a feather, also if you wanna play with patterns you could try covering up different parts before puting it in the acid, it could be a cool experiment :D
Where did you get your lath also you should make a ring out of a hockey puck or golf ball
While the material is cool, I think I'd prefer if the 'grain' patterning was either parallel to the band, or on a diagonal. Perpendicular stripes with two polar sections isn't as appealing to me.
I wonder if you could do patterning in rod stock for mokume gane and damascus, I know you can in flat stocks and it can give cool looks to blades.
wow SICK intro !!!
Man you are the best!! How can I start making ring just like u???
what do you do with all the shavings? have you mixed them all together in one single piece of metal and experimented with them?
i want to listen to audiobooks but i can do one thing at the time
Awesome like always. How much do you think these will go for once you put them on your site?
that is a awesome ring!
if you had etched it for longer which of the metals would have etched away more severely? Just trying to imagine how it would have turned out if you had.
Beautiful!!!!
You should forge all your shavings and make a ring with all the extra material..😀
I really love these videos, love watching the process and the artistry. But is it a design choice or a necessity to make them that thick? Not sure if you just have really big fingers, or if the footage makes the rings look bigger than they really are, but they look somewhat uncomfortable? Definitely prefer narrower rings, myself.
I wonder how lignum vitae would look as a ring, maybe layered with actual iron or stainless steel?
If I were to describe a custom ring to you could tell me about how much it would cost
A watch band with mokume links would be sick.
You are wearing my dream ring l really want it that black red ring
unless i am mistaken it is the cheapest of the rings that he makes
ville tiittanen you sure man you know that is sow meny ring in the future
Yes only $250USD
actually its $650.....
rexrabbiteer the Mokume Gane is $650 the red and black carbon fiber is $250
I started to make mokume gane by my self with good results but its a insane amount of work and because of that my heart starts to bleed After seeing so mutch material just get grined away^^
Hi there, nice video! Wich acid to make the contrast? thank for sharing!
Have you tried making a ring out of a chunk of tiger's eye with an obsidian finish?
Ever thought of doing a trigold mokume gane ?
What could happen if you rinse the acid in simple water? Great job btw
Hey Patrick, great video, ad incredible ring! thank you for all the effort you put into producing these.

In some of my older videos I have a big list with a lot of items you’d need to get started. I’m working on a new and improved version which will be out soon!
much thanks, will check those out, and greatly looking forward to that!
what do you do with all the left over material? a lot comes off of the ring when you shape it, do you use it for inlays of other rings?
To be honest ... after the etch I think I would have stopped with this one . Just left it naked ... the Mokume pattern just popped so well after the flats were ground in . Also would like to see if you could do a revers of this ring " obsidian ring with Mokume Gane sets "

I think that the concept of the obsidian facets is a really cool idea, would you be OK with me using it for my own rings?
Love your videos man ❤️❤️
What would the care be for a ring like this? The brass will need to be protected from tarnishing and copper from oxidizing right?
I really like the music that you make in the videos. Could you list the song names in the description of your videos.
Awesome
you should make a ring from a rare motorcycle like a 1994 cbr 600 f
So precious metal prices for green fingers? or do you insert a silver/gold inner cuff?
Awesome!
Really nice!
You got mad skills young man. How did you get into the trade was your old man a jewelry maker?
Amazing ring, i think its great to use different designs on various materials
can you try doing a set of rings made out of objects commonly found in a house, whether it has to be stabilized in resin or can be made without much prep
You can try usin ammonia solution to neutralise the muriatic acid :)
Excellent young man . How much are these to but as my friend has been in poor health but we don’t have much cash 💰 . If they are a fair price I’ll buy it for him . Cheers
Hey I worked at Vivint for 7 years! What is your relationship with them?
make a spinning top pls
Thats great work but where is that obsidian?
Love iit.
How do you prevent the ring form staining youre finger
Do you ever sell the rings that you make? When I get married, I'd KILL for something like one of these.
he has a site, maybe its in the description
patrickadairdesigns.com/
Put it in the oven at around 400-500 degrees F. The colors will pop more.
😍😍😍. .. love it 😍
So um, not to complain but how long does it take to make a ring because I ordered one a while ago and haven't gotten it yet and I haven't gotten an email saying it has been shipped
Could you do this with a dremel?
Please sell it, I love it!
Beautiful, I am not saying anything about the other cave man ring that I can't buy 😊
Hey, great video :-) where can I buy a bar of this material?
Cool! : )
Yeah I guess I could wear it
