It’s sad that people can’t just be happy for others who have worked hard and managed their money in a way to be able to buy some tools … I’m proud of you keep up the good work !
I am the same way I am not rich but I am just like that I buy everything if it keeps me not so hungry I have almost every tool machine .. everything and then some they may be cheaper but I have them it was not easy but I admire you for having all the tools or machines gadgets I know you started like me with nothing.. I love your videos thank you .. I am now just getting into the wood rings. Thank you for what you do.
That's so cool! As someone finding themselves in limited employment these days, this might be something I can do to help fund things. Thanks for sharing your process! At the very least it will save me a few Christmas gifts.
I started making bent wood rings about 3 years ago. I like watching these types of videos to see how other people make their rings. My process is quite a bit different than yours. We all have our own way of doing things right? I have turned it into a small business. I currently have about 50 designs that I have created and I have an Etsy shop for them. Anyway I enjoyed your video. Thank you
@@pauly7218 I cut my strips of wood and taper the ends before I boil them. After boiling them I wrap them in masking tape. I used to use rubber bands but tape works better IMO. Rubber bands leave dents in the wood. After it’s dried I wrap it tightly a bit smaller than the size I need and saturate it with thin CA. After it’s dried I put it on a dowel wrapped in masking tape for a snug fit and then put it on my lathe. I remove the rough wood from the sides and cut down the surface to smooth it out. Then I remove the blank from the dowel and put it in my chuck jaws and bore out the inside to the correct size. Then it goes back onto the dowel and back onto the lathe where I work it to the proper width and then I start cutting my inlays and adding various stones and metals. After it’s all sanded smooth I apply a CA finish to the inside and outside and buff to a shine. It’s a little more complicated than that but that’s the basic idea of how I do it. You can find my shop on Etsy if your interested to see what I do. Look for NaturalCreationsShop on Etsy
I do plan to do some videos on making those kinds of rings too. Not just different techniques, but the finished products are very different.... I'd love to see one of yours. Maybe share it during Show and Tell on my live stream. If you want to share, send pics and descriptions to captainpaul@cox.net
Interesting stuff Paul and it looks very do-able, if that's a word.👍 You did pretty well with the glue; didn't seem to be much mess and no rings stuck on your fingers.😁 Funny thing: until I started watching CZcams a few years ago, I thought power drills were for drilling holes. Apart from using it as a screwdriver occasionally, that's all mine got used for. It would make for a good read if someone put together a book:"101 *other* uses for your drill." I love the look of these, just beautiful and, I guess, every one will be different - even using the same kind of wood. Thanks for sharing another "thing" I knew nothing about. Cheers for now, Dougie. Oh P.S. I had just commented to my other half "OOh, very cool pan !!" when you said to use a throwaway pan. If you're throwing that beauty away, I'll have it.😂 cya
I love the drill idea and may take you up on it. As to these rings, it's a super affordable project, that virtually anyone can do for little cost and with great results....
Fantastic instructional video. Very easy to follow for a newbie. Would you please tell me what brand of accelerator you are using. Looking forward to future videos! ❤️
Nice work ring looks great have you tried making an inlay ring out of tungsten or ceramic ring blanks with synthetic opal and CA glue same idea and fun and affordable
I have my doubts. That is a very soft wood and would probably fall apart. I'll be doing a video soon an making rings with stabilized wood, which might be exactly what you are looking for! Stay tuned!
Thanks for the video. I want to try making wooden rings, got drills to cut the rings, so far all broke. I notice you use several coin ring tools that I also have. I called you last year, and thank you for the powder coating info. Would a hobby store have the thin sheets of wood? And the ca glue! Thanks Paul, you have helped me a lot. Just a year so so behind you. Thanks again Larry McNamara
Using my pricing video, I would stay in line with that but just adjust cost from a $40 coin too about $5 for wood and glue. Time wise it is really about the same....
Are those stronger than if I make a solid ring i just drill out cut out and sand? And how thin do you think I can make them before making then to weak? Thx for yhe video
The laminating process makes them very strong. Cutting a ring out of a block has weak spots along the grain. Not fragile, but IMHO not as strong as a laminated ring. You can make them from stabilized wood blocks for added strength...

Back in my day if you wanted to court a dame the only way to do it was by making a quartz ring with no tools. Since it was the depression, only dentists and stable boys could get their hands on a piece of sand paper and they could only get the leftover stuff that was worn to the consistency of peanut butter. Everyone else would have to walk two miles through snake grass barefoot (uphill both ways) to get to a spot of redwood forest. There we would peel the bark off trees for 72 straight hours until our hands were gritty enough to wear away at the granite rings. You kids today should be thankful you have any tools and get to line up like pansies for your hitchin' rings and never had to carve one from limestone by hand. What? Oh, so I was sayin' it was right about then Ty Cobb stepped up to the plate. MYRTLE! FETCH ME A COLD ONE! JUNIORS IN FOR A DOOSIE WITH THIS ONE! Like I was sayin' that's when the Babe came up to bat...they called him that because he had more kids than digits in the national deficit....more kids....zzźzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, please make more wood rings! You are so good at this. You explain the steps so well for this newbie! Thanks so much!
Finally someone who understands the way I think about tools.
Pauly - don't let the haters get to you. You earned the cash to buy the tools and it's your channel. Great work once again.
Yes, I would like to see more techniques on how to make wood rings!
You got it!

Very cool my friend, I thought that mug was really cool and now I see this is really cool. I do like your variety of videos my friend it is awesome.
I like the variety too. I have so much in the pipeline, it's going to be a lot of fun....
i love it
Just the way it is. :)

Neat idea. I drill holes in solid chunks and carve the out side. I'm going to try your style. Thanks Paul.

😎 that you are showing something different.... You are definitely Multi Talented!!
If that is your position, then your going to love the coming weeks! I have a lot of new irons in the fire!
This video made me understand the need for background music in videos.
The problem is all the stuff you can use is super annoying and repetitive. It would be great if we were allowed to incorporate main stream music....
Yeah mate, you got it.
Thanks for tuning in Dave!
That's too nice work. You have a new fan now! Great idea!
Welcome aboard!
A nice light project!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks ifor sharing this video 👍
The professional man.
Nice work!
Now. That. Was. So. Cool. Sweet 👍😊. Lee
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello, saw your video today. That is cool sir. So was Black Sabbath btw 😀
Buen dia, hermoso trabajo, entre capa y capa de C.A se debe lijar nuevamente?
Man, that is a nice project!
Really interesting, might even give it a try if I can source some reasonably priced veneer. Thanks for the video. Take care and be well.
It's really fun. I'd love to see the finished product....
Your missing a tool mate, it’s a lasso. Love it.
That would be great if you could do more on them I want to start making them 👍
Got it. I have other kinds of rings to share with you soon too!
Yes bring more content on this

I haven't tried this types... YET! I plan on bringing a lot of other type of projects to the channel in the near future....
Nice 👍
what other kind of rings do you make?
I liked it
Thanks Clarence!
Could you use something like jenga blocks?
I have my doubts. That is a very soft wood and would probably fall apart. I'll be doing a video soon an making rings with stabilized wood, which might be exactly what you are looking for! Stay tuned!
is it fragile without a core?

Hobby Lobby MIGHT, but I'm not sure. I have more stuff like that in the works....
I enjoyed you Coin Ring Pricing. But you did not mention Wood Ring Pricing. What should one fetch fer one of these?
Using my pricing video, I would stay in line with that but just adjust cost from a $40 coin too about $5 for wood and glue. Time wise it is really about the same....
I want to see more ring's
I just might be able to work that out. Can you be more specific about the kid of rings or just anything I put out there?
@@pauly7218 maybe some thing with different piece of wood on top kinda shaped like a real stone thanks 😊👍
W🍩W, that's just too cool!
And what would a ring like this sell for?
Are those stronger than if I make a solid ring i just drill out cut out and sand? And how thin do you think I can make them before making then to weak? Thx for yhe video
The laminating process makes them very strong. Cutting a ring out of a block has weak spots along the grain. Not fragile, but IMHO not as strong as a laminated ring. You can make them from stabilized wood blocks for added strength...
Thanks for the video, question? what is "CA" and what is the name of the accelerant you use?
CA is Cyanoacrylate, or Super Glue. Just get a very thin CA so it will soak in, and buy a corresponding Accelerator....
@@pauly7218 Thank you for the info.
Thanks Paul, wasn't expecting this method for making wooden rings. Is it possible to use other types of glue?
My guess is no. CA give this wood a really tough finish through and through. Not only that, CA can be brought to a high shine....
I'm allergic to CA glue so could you use a different glue?
Great project and product btw.
Probably not, But, if you can get it glued up with gloves on, you could probably put a sealing finish on it to shield you from the CA....
@@pauly7218 it's more to do with my lungs and sinus than skin. I developed an allergic reaction to ca glue when I made models in the 90's 😞
@@tootalltechiegh This is good to know.
Where do you get that mini wrap around storage w drawers on your bench top?
Those are all from Hobby Zone. I love the set up, but it sure aint cheap....
Great video! I was wondering if it is possible to start with a oil coating(to get different colors) and then finish with the CA finish?
Probably not. It most likely would inhibit the CA from soaking in to the wood....
@@pauly7218 I see, thanks!
great video - how long did the wood soak in the hot water?
At least an hour but longer in this case is better
Can you link your runner expanding mandrel please!

Might be better off using a dremmel for rings.
omg what is that on your windowsill!!!! Are you going to tell me Reggi made them???
I can't believe how many trees you have
Vegas is way more than many people realize....
look at you with a stove
With a stove and no food!
A stainless steel pot? You've gone too far! I thought you said this would be affordable!
at least get a new cutting board ,that 1 is a little warped
Don't knock my cutting board! I love it!
Makes me cringe watching him work with the 2 nice rings and watch on! Lol
You make a great safety point here! Something I will try to stay aware of in the future! Thanks for tuning in and the great comment!
You being a fanny???
