This video was re-uploaded due to me messing up the sound levels, sorry about that and I hope you enjoy the video. 😅
5:55 that terrifying moment when u cant get the ring off and ur life flashes before your eyes Lmao.
Haha you that is very true. 😅
The best way I have found to get a struck ring off is to twist it off gently with even force. Make sure you look at how the soft tissues of the finger are moving in order to see where the snag (stuck spot) is.
You can also add oil or soap to get it off, and I’ve seen people use a string method or cut it off too.
Just don’t wait! If a ring is stuck, get it off as soon as possible without panicking.
liquid soap or vegetable oil
I mentioned a problem I was having in the comments of your last video about soldering. You answered it in this video. I tried your advice today and you were spot on. I made four rings today and beat the hell out of them on the mandrel and not one solder joint cracked. You are the man. Thanks.
Hey, I'm happy to hear that it fixed your problem. If you have any other questions feel free to ask or if you have suggestions for future videos I'm always looking for ideas. My next video will be on picking and I should have it up sometime this week.
That's great. I need pickle help too. No specific questions, just general advice. I"ve been doing mostly electroplating/electroforming so clean metal is extra important. Nothing like having a nice piece of jewelery flaking off bits because of bad pickle or oxidized metal or both. Looking forward to you next video.
So cool to see your take on how to make these rings. I've made both types and did mine a little differently and it was really nice to see some tips here. Thank you Randy!
Really like the spinner ring !!!! Great job and Ideas
Ed
Very nice!!!!
great vid nice explanation!
That was a very cool video. I love spinner rings . Thanks for sharing
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks and no problem. :)
Interesting, nice pieces and nice ring. Thanks.
Thank you 😀👍
Thanks this is great for a long time I've been trying to get some basic on making spin rings
Thanks for watching it and I'm happy to hear that is helped. 😄👍
Wow those are beautiful! Thank you for sharing 😻
Thanks and no problem 😁👍
Excelent work. Thank you for the video 👍
No problem and thanks for watching 😊
Would love to see you make one of these using a Abalone Veneer ring that moves on top!
Thank you so much for your video. I'm going to be making some rings and I've been looking for a video to answer some of my questions. And you did.
😁👍
Awesome video. Want to make these soon.
Thank you. When you do I would like to see them. 😄👍
hi, thank you ;)
No problem 😊
I'm going to have to try this, now to see if I know anyone with tools otherwise it's going to be a very expensive one time project
Очень профессионально !
*Awesomeness*
😀👍
love it
Thank you 😁
Hi ! I just want to make round copper wire simple rings, Id like to use silver lead free solder stics, but what kind of propane (only) torch should I use ?? THank you love ur vids Can I snip solder stick into little pieces or should i buy solder bits?
How do you price your work? Materials are obvious, but what do you charge for your time, and what percentage do you mark up? I worked for Zale's years ago and we marked up 2.5 times. That would be helpful. Maybe a video about that or shorter would just be to respond here. However, it would be cool to watch you make something and see how you determine material costs, your time, and ultimately what you would like to get for a piece of work, what the total of your time and materials, overhead, etc., total up to. Is that something you can show us?
Thanks for the great video. Wondering why you leave it in the tumbler for 10- 12 hours?
The longer you leave it in the more work the media in the tumbler can do. It will smooth stuff out and start rounding some hard edges and give it a nice shine as well.
I'm sorry this is a stupid question... When putting metal on the mandrel, is it measured by the ring's bottom touching the line (ie. Size 8) of the correct measurement? Or is it the top of the ring that needs to be on the size line? I hope that makes sense to you. Oh and looking at the larger ring, all I can picture is the webbing between your fingers all cut up.
Hello, a bit late for question haha but what is the bit you used on rotary at 19:00 minute? Cheers!
I don’t have a good domain tools dooming punches. Instead of buying a whole Dapping set again, I would like to buy individual dabbing tools or punches. I know that the size of the tool is different for different size rings. But, can you tell me a range of sizes, about 3 or 4, that I can buy that would work for flaring out the spinner ring.
By the door that I show in this video czcams.com/video/5EdXcZEhXtk/video.html this is all that you will ever need for this kind of spinner ring. The link is in the description of that video 😁👍
Gotta try this. Copper first, then silver.
I always practice with copper first.
@@GomeowCreations Bought a big fat sheet of 18ga copper just for that purpose! ;-) having just returned to smithing after 30+ years away, I've buggered a few bits of silver, but got some great pieces out of water casting with the scrap.
@@GomeowCreations If you ever get up this way (North Bay SF) holler. I'd like to meet you.
Well I do live in Southern California but I have never been to San Francisco.
@@GomeowCreations It's cooling off. Better hurry! Near the coast the temp drops like a rock after the sun goes down.
Very nice, but it you are using brass and copper wouldn't it leave a greenish tarnish on your finger?
Yeah it would. You can use a clear coat to seal it, gold or silver plate the metal or you can make these using silver or gold using the same techniques. 😁👍
Do you use brass with 15% zinc and 85% copper? (Under the trade name “NuGold”) it has a redder, richer yellow than cartridge brass with 70% copper and 30% Zinc.
I'm using yellow brass so 60%-70% copper.
Thanks
is there a cheaper alternative to soldering? I tried using a soldering iron to join pieces but it doesn't look good
Soldering irons are only for soldering electronics, burning wood and making stained glass. You can get set up for soldering metals for $25-$50 using a plumbers torch. Check out this video I make all about this.

@@GomeowCreations thanks sm
What touch are you using? and Product to pickle? Where to buy
This is the torch I use - amzn.to/3zlHQ20
This is the pickle I was using - amzn.to/3JCTfzf
This is the pickle that I use now - bit.ly/SmartPickle
Can you make a ratchet spinner ring?
Where do you buy your metals?
Sorry for the late reply.

hi thanks for your videos. how can I tighten a silver ring with stone without taking it off
What do you mean?
Do you sell your rings ??
is there an equasion that will tell you how much it will weigh?
I'm sure there is but I don't know of one or use one 😁
What is pickling?
czcams.com/video/1mPAXsKXb1Q/video.html
I want. I make.
can you share what gauge metals and wires you used? thanks
I used 16 ga copper wire along with 16ga and 12 ga brass wire. I think the sheet metal was 22 ga.
GomeowCreations thanks so much. I really enjoy your videos.
No problem, I really need to add that info into my videos, I just keep forgetting to haha. I'm happy to hear that you enjoy my videos. 😀

I ran onto this by accident and given your unusual ring creations, I thought you might get a kick out of it. If you make a ring from this, whatever it is - it looks beyond my skill level so I didn't watch it, you have to film it for us, okay?
Radioactive Tritium (??) and Damascus (??) ring

Of course, if this stuff would make your finger turn green and red and fall off, never mind! Lol!
I bet that flared ring is un comfortable to wear.
It would depend on the spacing on your fingers
@@GomeowCreations human hands are basically all the same. Noone is going to have their fingers constantly spread apart. The flared ends of ring is going to dig into the fingers on either side of ring. Only finger it wouldn't do that is the thumb. Flared out ends is just a bad design.
