Shark teeth turned out to be a fairly challenging material to work with. The differences in the hardness of the teeth and the resin made it difficult to get a good polish on the rings. I ordered a special polishing compound that will hopefully give me better results in the future. But, at least for now, these rings are a little rough around the edges (pun extremely intended and I'm sorry) to offer on my website as good enough to be a wedding ring.

Oh second comment ring suggestions: What do you think of a 'ring series' of the periodic table. I could see it posing some great challenges with creative ways to overcome them. Maybe in collaboration with someone like NileRed or Cody'slab. See how you'd approach something like a Gallium ring, (turns to liquid at body temperature so encased in resin?!) or a ring showing the beauty of Bismuth crystals. Well food for thought.
Little Bacchus id love to see a hydrogen ring.
Lol is that a benzene joke?
@@Juhheli nah i would rather see an oxygen ring
It would be fun if they made a uranium ring in some lab with those rad suits or a neon ring
Dig it! 😎
For a good challenge you should try to make a glass ring
Matty .B Pointless but it would be fun to watch and a lot of struggle to make
I don’t think you can machine glass
matty amicaterra that's why it's a challenge
If you stick to abrasives it should be possible
Technically he could craft a mold. At least i think you can use a mold for glass...
Though a stained/fractured glass ring would be pretty cool wouldn't it?
Half sand and half shark tooth with blue glow resin!!
YES
Would the sand hold in a cast?
This is a cool video, but I wish there had been some background music
Ezra Trost i agree bro
Good content doesn't need music on back ground.
Ezra Trost it felt weird without any background music
El CuCuy it makes it better and less weird with no sound
I checked my sound at one point cause I thought I muted it or the volume dropped out.
Where did the music go?
Elizabeth Coulson I was thinking about that to
i guess you don't have time to spen on funny materials for rings, something you wouldn't sell to a customer, but a series making rings from casting rice krispies, cereal, poppyseeds, metal shavings and things like that would be fun to watch your approach
katana24 metal shavings would be nice
Metal shavings would be soo cool. Remember the murder bowl from.. Peter brown. Was soo pretty !
gosthie Peter brown’s murder bowl was exactly what I thought of when I saw this comment. I wonder what copper shavings would look like - potential to oxidise them too
Yeey ^^ Not just me. I really love the look of that bowl, murder and shit to deal with or not. A beautiful bowl ! But yeah copper, oxidise or not or both mixed ! sounds awesome.
Something silly like popcorn could be interesting.
When I saw the title I was hoping for a megaldon tooth into a ring. A set pattern with the teeth would look awesome.
Keep up the good work
Maybe you could try casting a snake skin into a ring. It would be pretty hard to keep it in one piece in a ring shape but that's the trick! I'd love to see your solution to this problem :)
Holy crap this guy got one hell of an upgrade! I remember being blown away a year or so ago by his designs but lost track of him due to a heavy work schedule but man, the quality of his videos have gone through the roof. I'm so happy for this guy. He deserves the success.
Your videos have been an inspiration to me. I bought a metal lathe several years ago (the same one you have) and began just fiddling around with it. Spent about a year honing my techniques and now work almost exclusively with Mokume Gane and Stirling Silver. Working with silver is a lot different. You can't just put a wamping big hunk of silver on the lathe and start turning it. They have to be assembled from sheets or wire and then braised together but it's still fun to sit down and make a cool ring with glow powder or crushed semi precious stones. I especially liked you "Shipwrecked" ring. I've made three of them already and can't seem to keep one for myself ! Thank you so much. God bless.
If you can make one of an scorpion trust me im 100% positive i will buy it. I loveeee your channel is super interesting.
I think those would be cool to somehow integrate those into one of your shipwreck type rings
My son, his wife and myself----all love the shark tooth ring. Each of us truly like and enjoy unique items and these rings totally fit that bill. We would gladly purchase these shark rings if it was made available.
Wow nice ring should try some crystals from inside it rocks forgot the name of it
A geode?
I would love to see if you could do the same type of a thing with snake ribs or something.
I love how the rings ended up being different sizes, like for a matching set for a man and a woman
Why no music
Kelly F yep :(
OOF
It’s better with out music imo
Watching your videos helped me design my fiance's engagement and wedding band. I went through a local jeweler and had it made. It looks amazing and I cannot wait for her to see the actual wedding band. Thank you for all your videos. :-)
Patrick, if you want sugestions on materials, maybe you could do a ring out of paper or plastic. If I may also suggest materials for inlays, I would like to see construction materials like coarse sand and peebles, that would be amazing! Thanks for the vids!
Human hair used to be popular for jewellery. Wonder if parents would like their kids baby teeth turned in a ring?
S Harris wow that's a great idea
Fiber optics could be a cool additive to a ring.
you should try to make a ring out of lava rock if you haven't already
Awesome ring! Still waiting for that ring featuring opal though. I don't understand why you haven't made one yet, the opal is amazing, and with your talents, you could really set it off with the galaxy look.
I'd love to see another fossilized shark tooth ring, but with like a dark ocean blue glow powder. That could look so awesome!
These are interesting rings. The video got me thinking about nut shells as a possible component. Years ago, as a boy, I took a fine hobby saw (xacto) and cut a cross section of a hazel nut to make a ring. It didn't hold up as it wasn't structurally sound. When I saw this video, I thought it might be an experiment to take broken up shells and cast them. Some might need some initial stabilization to hold up as a workable material, but it would be worth a shot.
A snake scale ring would be amazing! If you could get a hold of some iridescent scales I bet it would be beautiful.
Very Cool !! ... I think that there are plenty of buyers out there who would buy that... but thats just my opinion... I think you know your customer base far better than me
Super cool! I'll try to think of things I'd like to see in resin, so far I've come up with small pearls.
Well when you do choose to sell them I would like both of these, and the points of the teeth making waves on the outer surface is a REALLY NICE IDEA .
One ring I’ve always wanted to see is one made out of coral, or a glow stone ring with coral skeleton in the resin. Would love to see that.
I feel like this and some sort of lining with a walnut or cherry would be really pretty
not sure if you'd cast it first but I think doing a deer antler ring would be amazing, especially if your able to capture the exterior texture
Patrick you could try to make a deer antler ring that would be cool
I like the pendant idea. Perhaps a colored resin to make the white ones stand out.
This is really cool. I'd like to see it done with some kind or snake scales
You should try making "State" rings, so like a petosky stone inlay with wood or something for Michigan and such. It could be a whole series of rings with unique items from each state
Would be awsome to see you do a thisle+resin ring. Might make a awsome contrast.
If you do a shark tooth pendant you could try alternating the fossilized with the unfossilized.
I have an unfossilized Shark tooth pendant.
Also, a little gold flake might be nice. Maybe some ocean blue colored resin.
He’s like “comment if you would like this ring” and I’m like I like all the rings
Hey hey! Love your work. I have watched probably 80% of your vids. Just some advice as a viewers perspective I noticed in this vid you did not waste our time with repeating the same thing. I noticed in your previous videos you did that quite a bit. It makes the videos a lot easier to watch when you don't hear the same thing 3 times a video. But during the time lapse sequence maybe throw on some soft royalty free background music. Helps fill the awkward gap of silence. Only mean this as help/advice. Love your vids mate. Keep it up!
Have you ever thought of using the glow powder maybe on the outside of the ring and having a solid center? I think it could look cool like that if it was possible
Very interesting. By seeing this i thought about a Ring made out of Bone with all the structure in it. It may be a little macabre, but interesting as well.
Really cool!
For some ideas, how about lego heads, super hero heads, crushed glass, foil
I would love to see a snap-on socket ring with part of the stamp showing (I work for snap-on at the hand tools plant ) it would be really cool to see and possibly own
Wow that's very cool Patrick you should be proud of yourself
I like it very much, would like to see a pop of color, especially on the modern day one. Maybe a thin strip of blue or something. Enjoyed the creativity of it very much.
A really cool idea for a ring would be to use some beach sand or sea shells and make like a sunset beach island theme kinda ring with some orange and reds and stuff. Would be a really cool nature themed ring. I’m a size 8.5 btw ;)
This is super cool! I really like the unique choice of materials and the rings turned out great!
Do one with casting grass or some green plant I think that'll look so dope
These are AWESOME!! I would love to be able to order the fossil one!
Something Id love to see is a ring made out of pur quartz, or amethyst or maybe onyx, ive seen you work with obsidian, so I feel like maybe other crystals can bring out some beautiful colors
You should make a glow stone shark tooth ring
Can you do a sea shell or an obsidian ring?
You are crazy making such unusual rings....but amazing
You should make a ring with fools gold and quartz as a fill and use something with a reddish tint as a blank that would be an awesome ring
Try stabalized maple burl or try putting a positive and negative charge on either end on a piece of wood to create an electric ark going across the wood and fill the cracks in with resin
Love these builds, can't wait till I can but one!!
Very cool idea and how it turned out. Wish i could afford it, soon i hope
They came out awsome! Unexpected coolness👍. Looking forward to the moment you find a way to play more with the shapes of the teeth, maby a parcial overlay? So they look like scales. That way you still have a relative flat surface to work it. Thanks for sharing Patrick!
Maybe you could make something out of a kinda common material like Quartz, Rose Quartz, or limestone. Idk just some ideas that i think may look cool or could be interesting to work with as a decent priced material.
You should try ball bearings in resin
A cool color palette for a ring would be dark gray brushed metal with gold and amethyst (or anything thats purple) accents
Mammoth tusk ring would look dope
Idk if you have done this before but you should try to use a darker wood and go with the grain to make a cool looking ring
Try making a ring involving bismuth! It’s a super cool and colorful stone with crazy shapes that would be awesome in a ring
Love your ring designs.. how about a Damascus ring with inlaid black diamond and the black glowstone powder that shows blue at night.
What about an oxidized Zirconium ring with a wood inlay? Or the other way around.
Ever tried black coral or sea turtle shell?? Responsibly harvested of course!!
In the fisolized teeth put shards or thing strands of copper in the ring and in both use glow powder
No joke. Marine biologist incoming. I’d buy that in a heartbeat.
Powdered agates would be cool for colored filling in resins or gaps
If you ever find out how to get one, I would love to see you turn a megalodon tooth into a ring. They can be big enough to bore right through it and not require multiple pieces, and I'm curious what texture would come out of it.
Patrick, you should make a ring made out of flowers encased in resin
Next time please try to put small mechanical watch parts to resin (gears, screws, springs, etc). I think it would look super cool!
Dude! You are finally doing it! Go crazy with the mad scientist vibe and start making the most outrageous things like dried flesh and resin or something. Get inspired by Agony and Scorned - you'll know what I mean. If I ever find the 'one', you'll know what type of ring I'll be looking out for.
Is it possible for you to use petrified wood to make rings out of? I know that every piece of petrified wood I've found has been different and many of them are absolutely gorgeous.
The meteor rings turned out to be truly amazing too!
Coffee Bean ring!
you could make a ring with kind of medium sized snail shells. Fill the shell with resin first and then cut a ring out of it or use more of them...
Hey, Great work, Patrick!
I liked the varied colours in the fossil tooth ring! I don't know if you have already but have you tried making any rings with Obsidian? I've seen that you made obsidian faceted, but i mean literal volcanic glass.
Also, i've been looking at purchasing a lathe, and wondered what your make/model is, or what you would recommend for a first time lathe owner that wants to do larger woodturning and some ring making?
Keep up the creative and inspiring work! :)
Nice video! How about four leaf clovers and gold flake ring? Or maybe some rodent bones, and dried hemlock(because Socrates and all), also maybe made so it glows green in the dark. For a challenge how about a bracelet of barbed wire encased in resin?
I’d be interested in buying if you put it on sale, white as it is with the teeth a little bit smaller to see them whole shape.
A Bulletring would be awsom!
That looks sooooooo cool. Can you make a ring out of lava stone?
Machinist tip: you can place your boring bar inside the piece as you are using your Dremel to cut off the ring. This keeps the ring from flying off the lathe and getting lost on the floor.
Great ring. You did it again.
Ita great but What about adding some glow powder to it? Itll add some color to the clear portions.
Hey Patrick, id love to see and sharktooth and amethyst ring if you ever get a chance. Honestly anything with Amethyst since you dont see rings made out of it very often! Hope this helps!
Maybe you could try making a ring out a megalodon tooth, a large enough tooth that you just need one. I dont know how that would look but it's an idea. Or to go along with your pendant idea, maybe cast the small sharks teeth into the shape/size of a megalodon tooth. To take it further, they appear to be mostly two tones, so you could use fossilized for the root and unfossilized for the crown or vice versa.
That must have smelt great :S
I wonder if the teeth could be set/embedded/encased in a ring. I'm trying to envision how that could be accomplished. Maybe making a blank, then gluing in the a second resin pour? hmm
I haven't been watching for long but have you ever done a ring with birthstones. Like using different stones as the band of the ring? I don't even know if that is possible but i think it would be beautiful. Also the more white shark tooth ring is my favorite, the other looks like rotten teeth to me.
i find lightly sanding the ca glue with a 2000 grit makes it really glossy, if that’s the look you are going for
You could try and make a ring out of lignum vitae it's a hardwood that was once used in the bearings in stern tubes on ships and could be very cool. Also love the content
Pretty new to the channel (only discovered it last night), and loving it so far, I was wondering if you ever tried making something with different colored sea glass? Could do some sort of glow effect underneath and get a cool result I think. Again I am new, so maybe you have already tried or have already gotten that idea. But I think it would be cool to see
How about using uranium glass chips as an inlay. Not dangerous apparently. Turned out great I reckon.
You could maybe cast resistors and diodes to be a cool electronic or “Tech” ring!!
I think it would be cool if you made a resin ring encasing wood scraps, parchment, paper, and cardboard. This would show all different types and products provided by woad!
I've just liked and subscribed. Those shark tooth ring's looks awesome keep up the amazing job
You could use the shark tooth pointy side up as the shark fin. So, dark blue resin with "fins" up all the way around the band, (like sharks circling). Then a lighter blue resin with white swirled in for the clouds in the sky. Would make a cool bracelet too! Look at me giving away all the great ideas. Love your channel! 👍👍
Try black volcanic beach sand with white specks of glow powder. It might make a "space look"
It would be cool if you made a ring for each state using materials iconic to that state (for example redwood for California)
