    It seems like I hid the letters a bit too well 😅 The first one is at 1:13
    The "Q" at the end is not part of the 6 letters you need to find

      Took me like 10 or 12 views to find them all, but definitely possible.

      The one on 1:13 is the only one I found by my self, watched it 10 times already and can’t find rest of them I bet is something to do with your name or initials but I give up. I seen your video about your first ring ages ago this one seems very similar. I wish you made this 10 years ago when I was getting married. But I guess you were in to multi rotors (as we called drones) back then.

      If there is one in the first 9 minutes besides the first one time stamped above, I'm going to declare myself legally blind... 😅
      Update: 5th watch in, only found 3 so far. 🤣🙌

    It might be interesting for you to know, that if you heat copper up to 1000-1050°C for a couple of hours you can grow copper crystals, which you can see after etching with 40% FeCl3 for a little over half an hour.
    But there are two problems:
    The melting temperature of copper is 1085°C.
    The crystals get a lot smaller when machining.

    I don't know how we ended up on a very similar path. but I went from flying model planes, to not having room to fly model planes, to making rings and jewelery and knives, and if you're also making knives and blacksmithing now... then I think that just means that model hobbies have a very clear trajectory to outer-space ring. (I mostly work with copper and silver, no space rocks yet) Very good stuff. Happy to see you on the feed!

  • @avelkm
    @avelkm 3 года назад

    Amazing to see you turn to craft! I make pens for a living last 9 years and made a few rings over the years, for myself and my wife and few custom orders for friends. Tried bending a ring from thin meteorite slice - that's almost impossible, tiny internal cracks ruin it. Cudos for not drilling away cental piece like some people;) just maybe laser or waterjet it? You'd also have less shavings - more rings) That's what I'm planning to do when return to meteorite to update our wedding rings.

    What a great video and super production! About a minute before the end I thought to include a 'my precious' mention in my comment, but of course you beat me to it 😁
    Excellent content and wow!, those rings 🤩

    @martijnvanderzon1521 3 года назад

    Hi David, to fix the silver lining you may use a rounded and polished pusher while turning the ring on the lathe. It may get a better fit than by just sanding away the excess material. You do this on both sides and the lining will stay where it is even in variant temperatures.

    Maybe the offcut discs from the center of the rings can be hydraulically pressed into thinner, large enough diameter discs for further rings without destroying the crystal structure, it may also be possible to similarly punch out the centers, a local engineering works maybe?

    Nice to hear from you David! Totally awesome looking ring!!! Fascinating material to work with. But I gotta say that I watched this video two more times. And the only scattered letters I saw were the Q and maybe your website? But that’s too many letters. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mind you! I was still getting distracted by the video and watching your craftsmanship in process. I hope you do a follow up video. Showing where these darned elusive winning letters are. Because I really want a chunk of that stuff! Or… could this be some sort of RUclips algorithm trick that kicks in when people re-watch a video 🤔
