I agree with your thought that you should get a lathe. There is so much one can produce using one of those that it is truly worth the expense. And remember you can turn small items on a large lathe, but you can't turn large items on a small lathe. However, your work is lovely.
Look at this video too ruclips.net/video/FC3MMVsWBoA/видео.html It is a different method using bent wood and a little more difficult but its doable with no power tools needed.
If anyone is have the same problem with a bulging after mounting on the drum sander this will help. The bulge happened because the tape was not applied uniformly causing the ring to be off center and thus out of round when sanded. To avoid this take care when rapping the sader not to fold over any of the layers of tap and try to use as few strips as possible.
My grandfather was a wood worker he made just about everything in the early 1900's. He was dead way before I was born. I have always loved woodworking and didn't know about his passion til I was older . He made wooden bracelets. He also made a few violins. Hell he even made a few of his own tools.
One thing ive found helpful: when wrapping the sanding drum with tape (i prefer electrical tape since it grips well), do so with the screw on top of the drum REMOVED. Once you have your ring snug on the drum, insert the screw and tighten as you normally would. This of course will slightly compress the rubber and thus it will become slightly wider at its equator. In other words, it will really lock the ring in place extra tight.
2 suggestions. 1. Use a hole saw on a drill to get the outside of the ring close to the finished diameter. 2. use a series of twist drills to get close to the inside diameter. You can then get your final sizes using the various Dremel bits for shaping, sanding and polishing. It will save you a lot of time and eating wood dust.
You don't have to cut the piece to make it flat. Just hold it vertically over sandpaper and lower it down till it aligns with pencil mark. The Dremel Workstation would be an excellent tool to have in this situation. You have great idea ! Thanx for sharing.
Just bought my first rotary tool the other day. 100% beginner at wood working and this WILL be my first project. Doing this tomorrow! Thanks for the idea Logan!
@@LogsCarvingClub hey Logan. Thanks for reaching out. It's going slow lol I like it so far tho. ButI've gotten to play with it 3 or 4 times. Covid went thru my house and we all got it. I had it the worst. 3 straight weeks. Glad it's over. So I'm going to start looking into more now. I'm 100% beginner at it tho. Someone bought me a wood burning set and I love that. Thought of a couple things I'd like to make with both of then and then bought the dremel. I hope that I can be as good as you one day. Kendall
I wouldn't call it woodworking. Don't get me wrong, this is nice work. But using a Dremel for everything is not woodworking. Instead think saws, squares, joints, and planes. Building things, not reductively shaping things. Wood carving is more apt for this sort of activity. But even that usually involves a few hand sharpened tools and at least one or two drops of sweat. But I'm just being pedantic. Cheers all, glad you're better after the COVID wave. And thanks for the video.
I see this was posted a year ago and I hope you've grown in your craft. I'll check out your other videos when I get a chance, the thumbnails look pretty awesome of the carvings!! Some things I've done differently when making my wooden rings is coating them in CA glue (I didn't think to use oil) to "weather proof" them and sanding them smooth. I would sand to 2000 before the glue to get all the scratch marks out first. I used all kinds of wood so I had to coat some to protect from skin irritation and skin discoloring (mainly cocobola and ebony gaboon). I broke a lot from wearing them to work and at home to see how long they lasted (usually not long at all) so I started making ring blanks from different materials so sometimes the wood would be the core or on the outside. Just a suggestion, maybe find a strong material to use as a core and you can make the wood thinner and it will last a lot longer. I'm about to make a couple of rings from olive wood with a titanium core and maybe an inlay depending on how it looks. If I can record it I'll post a video😁
That’s some really good advice! Can you let me know how the titanium goes? I’d be curious to see that. I agree the rings don’t last long without any inlay. I’ll have to get some CA glue to try that out. Thanks David!
Gonna be making 3 matching sets of rings for me and my wife for Christmas. I'm using purpleheart. Black palm and Brazilian ebony. Can't wait to see how they turn out
Your videos are great I'm learning a lot about using a Dremel. It's difficult to some times see things then it goes into the time lapse. If you did 15 seconds at regular speed of using the Dremel with the attachment so newbies like me can see how it's being used that would be awesome.
I just bought a Dremel 3000 kit from Costco & I can't wait to try my hand at some of these awesome projects myself. You've got a lot of patience & talent which makes you successful with your work. Great job brotha! 👍Subscribed ✅
This is a very helpful video, I thank you for it, your instructions/steps are very clear which is much appreciated I've had my dremel sitting around doing nothing and I've wanted to make my partner a ring, but I wasn't sure how I'd be able to do it, my brain just couldn't wrap around how to drill the hole, I imagine you could use a saw (in my case a coping saw) to cut most of the material away for the outside of the ring, I have a chunk of cherry wood stump that's been sitting around too, it's got enough material on it for me to practice since I'll be needing to practice lol
You can cook the rings for 10-15 minutes in hot olive oil so you need no cooting and it's all natural. Great tutorial by the way, i will do the same rings with aluminium and copper or brass.....
I'm pretty sure you figured something out by now 😆. I use a caliper to measure all sides. 🤷🏻♀️ It's works. I also use a hole bit on my screw gun (drill) to get the circle as close as I can.
I agree there's easier methods, I just like drilling out the center as I did to limit the risk of the wood splitting and to get the sizing really exact. Other than that for the outside thickness I think it's fun when it's a little wonky (shows it's handmade).
If you use a water base urethane on the lighter ring it will be more white. The oil base urethane you used will turn it more yellow. Just FYI. Great job.
This is great! Thanks for the tutorial. I really like how you talk through your process. It's really helpful. I'm definitely a new subscriber. Cheers Gus
I don't have a dremel but I think I can do this without it. Can't be harder than the antler ring I made with a hacksaw and a file. Cool video though, didn't know about the dremel lathe.
Gonna use this to make a wedding band as a gift for my husband! Is there a good set of tools I can buy that will cover most of my bases, or will I have to purchase them all separately?
That’s a great idea! I think all of the bits I used are in most dremel kits, the only one that usually isn’t is the tile cutter 562 bit. Good luck and stay safe!
Honestly not sure other than removing rust with buffing/polishing wheels, then using a polishing wheel with fine compound to increase the shine. I don't do it often.
Do you usually use gloves for all your work? Which gloves do you recommend? I've seen other of your videos, but didnt' find any information on the gloves :) thank you! Great channel!
I usually don't use gloves. To my understanding if they get caught in a spinning tool it can be pretty bad. I used a glove in this one at one point because the sand paper got really hot from the friction and it was hurting my hand. They're just some random gardening gloves. Make sure to be careful gloves or not.
Not bad actually, I recorded essentially the same video a couple years ago using a random stone and it came out well. Different techniques though. Just need to be careful and have a really good mask for the dust. I’ve been unbelievably slow to edit those old videos though.
I wonder if you could engrave a line in the ring and fill it with what ever takes your fancy. Not only would it add decoration if it’s molten metal it would add strength?
I’d start with a small gift for someone you know, the pressure to make it look good will help you learn. Maybe a relief carving or an engraving? I’d stay away from the 561 and the circular saws for a bit until you get the feel for it.
I started with a $20 battery powered dremel I love it for the longest time and I decided to upgrade to a Dremel 4000 and have no regrets. I've been using Dremel products for 4 years.👍
The ring was not spinning true....like it would on a lathe. I do rings with the dremel sideways, using the multistation....and check it spins true before starting. Also has to be really snug on uniformly applied tape and stop and check your work intermittently....those are my best pointers. Great video ❤ I will try from solid wood....mine were the bentwood variety
@LogsCarvingClub there are videos on here, not mine personally, but basically thin strips of veneer, warmed in water until flexible, wrapped around a socket, secured with a band or bit of tape, to get a reasonably curly strip of wood. When 100% dry, use a socket with similar ring size to what you want, cover socket in a tape or something ca glue doesn't stick to, wrap tight, tape again to secure, soak with super thin ca glue, leave to dry. Then shape. :)
Yeah I usually show them while I’m carving, but I listed the common ones I use in the description with affiliate links to amazon, you could also get them at a Home Depot or harbor freight probably
@@LogsCarvingClub I saw your video. Thanks for the help sir. Also, phenomenal work on that wenge carving. That stuff is super brittle, at least cutting with saws
i’ve learned a lot from this video and i’ve been making mine and i love it! one questiin i’ve had though- how long does your polyurethane stay on? i cant seem to get it on there enough so that it doesn’t have spots chip or rub off and i’m not sure if this is unavoidable or if i’m doing something wrong :(
Hey! Really liked the video and I plan on making a ring following what you did. I wanna make a darker color ring similar to one of the ones you made, what type of wood was that?
Hey bud. Can you guide me a bit please. I got a tacklife rotary set and new to using it. I love rings so want to make some out of wood. What glue did you use to bond those pieces together? Also whats the best wood to use? I got a 2x6 lumber section from lowes but I am wondering whether it will be too hard to drill through.
Syed Rizvi hey man I used the original gorilla glue and clamped it to glue the pieces. I’d recommend using the strongest wood you can find that isn’t too brittle, like maple or birch if you want the ring to last. A 2x6 should be fine if you can whittle it down or get a slice, but I’d be cautious of using a softwood
Very interesting! I have been making rings over the last two weeks but with a big sander. The parts of your video that are very fast are too fast. Could you slow it down a little please, I would love to see it more detailed 🙏 Thank you 🙏
I would love to know if anyone has an answer for me. As a person just starting out (no scrap), where is a good place to find smaller chunks of wood like the parts he started with? Keeping in mind I live semi-rural, thanks in advance.
I just happened to know a furniture maker and got some scraps for free for this, but you can get maple, walnut, other common hardwoods in small chunks at Home Depot, sometimes also lumber yards that have hardwoods, and then I get some exotic hardwoods at places like rockler woodworking
I still have all of these, but that's mostly because I don't wear them. Pure wood rings usually just don't last very long since they're brittle and if you hit something they can crack.

I wonder if you could engrave a line in the ring and fill it with what ever takes your fancy. Not only would it add decoration if it’s molten metal it would add strength?

A 2x6 should be fine if you can whittle it down or get a slice, but I’d be cautious of using a softwood
Very interesting! I have been making rings over the last two weeks but with a big sander.
The parts of your video that are very fast are too fast. Could you slow it down a little please, I would love to see it more detailed 🙏
Thank you 🙏
Yes, I would watch it again if he slows it all down
RUclips has a feature to change the playback speed. You can slow it down yourself
Nice video, would it be possible to just drill out the centre with a large drill bit for a perfect circle?
Rings have to be such a specific size I couldn’t get a drill bit with a 17.5mm diameter
@@LogsCarvingClub 17mm forstner bits are available then sand it 17.5 mm

Logan try holly or ash? May get you a whiter wood also you can bleach wood. Nice work Logan
Thank you Sam! I’ve never worked with either but I’d sure be interested!
А мы подобные кольца в детстве делали при помощи дрели, сверла, наждачной бумаги и болта с гайкой😅
Выходило проще, быстрее и лучше)
Sounds fun!
Thank you! Great rings and easy method.
Thanks Larry!
You had it on the dremmel crooked
Good Job
Thanks!!
Amazing vid almost 75K views !
Woohoo!
Awesome video!!! Thanks for the great ideas!!!
I would love to know if anyone has an answer for me. As a person just starting out (no scrap), where is a good place to find smaller chunks of wood like the parts he started with? Keeping in mind I live semi-rural, thanks in advance.
I just happened to know a furniture maker and got some scraps for free for this, but you can get maple, walnut, other common hardwoods in small chunks at Home Depot, sometimes also lumber yards that have hardwoods, and then I get some exotic hardwoods at places like rockler woodworking
@@LogsCarvingClub That helps a lot, thank you.
People give away antique furniture and pianos all the time /side of road. Keep your eye out or look online. I find them daily
very cool
Thanks Kevin!
Question.. is there anyway we could get an update on how they are holding up?
I still have all of these, but that's mostly because I don't wear them. Pure wood rings usually just don't last very long since they're brittle and if you hit something they can crack.
@@LogsCarvingClub bro I would totally live to even get one of them off you!!!
Good night ... please what is this tip you use in the micro grinder that makes the cuts?
It’s the dremel 562 tile cutting bit
Thank you! ❤
Anytime!
