A year later it looks like you’ve almost quadrupled your subscriber base. Great videos I enjoyed learning how to anodize titanium
Best Ano tutorial on RUclips. I’m subscribing
Thank you! I have a new updated video that'll be coming out soon.
Blue and silver looks really good on the carbon fiber rings
interesting as I see this one, and have done so, with the negative side to the part being plated, and positive to the source material.
Black and grey ring ftw
awesome content! I've started anodizing titanium using the things I've learned through your channel. I'd love to see gold, midnight blue and green on a ring. :)
Thanks, glad you're diggin' the vids! Nice color choices! Good luck on the giveaway, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the videos! I’ve been using your methods to anodize a knife and it turned out great. Cool looking rings you are making too. The minimalist cf is my favorite I’ve seen. Thanks and keep it going!
Thank you! Glad to hear you're getting something from the vids. Appreciate the kind words brotha. Thanks for watching, and good luck in the giveaway!
The black and green ring looks wicked! Definitely one of the top color combinations.
Thanks brotha! Hard for me to pick a favorite, I like them all, but I like hearing what you guys dig the most!
Came accross you channel just now - GREAT on You - what an achievement in 1 year - keep going
Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
Late but addicted to your anodizing vids!
I've got a bunch more filmed, just haven't had time to edit lately. Thanks for watching! 👍🏼👊🏼
That's great
Glad I found this channel
SPORITY SPORK-SPORK!! Beautiful outcome! Love me a glow ring and/or purple opal!
Lol, thanks for watching!
Hey, did the ring drawing drawing today and you were one of the winners! Email me at sharpknifenuts@gmail.com so we can discuss your ring. Congrats!
Very awesome method of anodizing! Thank You!
Glad you're diggin' it! Thanks for watching!
I love to see a Green and Purple ring but now its 2021 and Covid and the brink of War.. all thank to Brandon Guy that you know .. Hope your well and safe bro..
I really enjoy your videos & this one was no exception, it was great! 👍
For my ring, something in black/gray & blue.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Thanks for watching!
The black and blue exactly like the one on your Instagram page! So awesome!!!
Thanks man, that's one of my favorites as well. I appreciate it!
I love mint greens and teal!
That would be a cool combo for sure! Have to add that to the "to make" list
That was awesome!! It came out so beautifully. I never knew how to get the color like that so I'm happy you posted this video. Thanks!!
its much easier and effective to just start at the highest voltage and only dip the tip in until its completely color changed, then remove a battery and dip the spoon a little deeper until that color is different, then take another battery off, dip it a little further, so on until you get to the end
doing it that way will give much more vibrant colors and can be blended by lightly dipping a tiny edge past the color each time you remove a battery
Thanks for the input, cheers 🍻
Green for the Ring !
The greens definitely look good. Just picked up a new green I'm excited to try out.
Red and carbon fiber look beautiful! Awesome content you have here bro and I can't wait to see your channel continue to grow!!
I really appreciate the support! Thanks for watching brotha!
Green and black
Black and green yellow galaxy would be epic!
I love experimenting with the colors you guys have been commenting, I'll have to put that on the to-do list!
The fork is what metal. That's an awesome video.
Thank you! Fork is stainless steel
Nice. A couple blue tones would be nice. Thanks for the opportunity.
👍🏼thanks for watching!
Another great video,, gold and bronze, for a subtle contrast,, ,, classic,,,
atb, bud ..
Thanks! I can dig gold and bronze for sure. I have close to 100 different colors right now, and in there probably 4 or 5 different shades of gold, and 2 or 3 different shades of bronze. I'll definitely have to play with some of them soon.
Awsome content again sir! Carbonfiber and gold/yellow is my fav combo
Thank you! I dig the color choices for sure. Have to put those on the to do list. Thanks for watching!
Would love a blue and white ring!
Very Cool!
Plus I want to thank you for sharing your skill with us!
We shall watch your career with great interest :)
Blue and silver on black of course!
Hahaha, I appreciate that! Great choice of colors by the way!
That nice dark blue for sure, great videos!
Thanks bro, that color is my personal favorite as well! That's my "daily driver", lol
Love what you are doing !!!!!!!!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Am I going to have to comment 40 more times!! LoL. Come on people! This is an awesome giveaway, awesome channel, and a really good guy that goes above and beyond to help with any ano questions you mite have! I'm planning on buying/winning one of his rings as my wedding band. Really cool stuff hes doing here!
Lol, thanks for the kind words! We'll get there, hahaha. I thought it would go a bit faster myself, but it is what it is I guess. If the comments don't pick up here soon I'll just cut it off and call it as is.
Hello thanks for the content
Great video. Teal and black. Size 10.
Thanks! I can dig it. Thanks for watching!
Awesome
Thanks brotha!👍🏼👊🏼
Awesome Video! My Fiancé and I are about to start experimenting with anodizing so we have been watching your videos. Congratulations on the growth of your channel! That’s awesome!! If I were to win, I don’t want a ring for myself, I want one for my fiancé. We are getting married soon and I already have my wedding band picked out, and he is a knife guy and loves carbon fiber so I know he would love it! I know he likes blue, black, and silver, and maybe red.. so anything like that would be awesome. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you! Really glad to hear you guys are getting some mileage out of my vids! If you ever run into any issues with any of your projects and need some help, don't hesitate to ask. I'll help any way I can. Congratulations on the engagement by the way, that's awesome! I dig the color choices for sure. Those are the colors I made myself for my wedding band. Still have a little over a year till our wedding, but got that out of the way early, lol. Good luck in the giveaway, and thanks for watching!
The Classic Red&Black
Always a good choice!
Purple and orange! Thanks
Awesome video man, I'll be very soon attempting your approach on annodizing (materials in the mail 😁). I hope you continue to grow and continue to share your knowledge with folks like me. My colours would be definitely green or blue which always looks cracking with cf. Thanks for the knowledge and this amazing gaw.
Thanks for watching! If you run into any snags while attempting your project, feel free to drop me a line. I'll help any way I can!
@@ApollosRings thanks man, I've some experience modding using blow torchs etc but this'll be my first time trying with electricity, I'll be sure to tag you in my first attempt on instagram. 😁👍🏻
Yeah man, definitely do that! I love seeing the work that you guys do!
Sorry I was too late to enter the ring giveaway but congratulations on reaching the 1k subscribers and more! Red white and black together in carbon fiber would look awesome and would have been my pick if such were possible.
Thanks! I'll have more giveaways coming up for sure. I actually have a red and pearl white glow with a forged carbon fiber core in the shop now. It does look sick, you're absolutely right! Links to the shop are in the description and channel homepage if you want to see what it looks like. You can see all the current ring designs on Instagram as well. 😉👍🏼
Blue and silver!
Can't go wrong there, those are the colors I have on mine. Thanks for watching, and good luck!
That was cool was waiting for auto hit the negative fork lol
Lol, I need to make a blooper reel. I've got some real winners through some of the past videos. Thanks for watching!
Awesomeness!!
Dude!! Thats awsome !! Probably shouldnt have and almost wish i didnt find this!!lol.. Subscrided👊
Welcome aboard, Lol! If you like this one, stay tuned. I've got a crazy cool new method I haven't touched on yet coming up in the next video. Gonna be a banger, for sure!
Notifications are on😳👊
I really like the galaxy ring on Etsy - if I win, I want one of those! 😁
I think we could make that happen if you win 👍🏼😉
Hey Lisa, did the drawing today and you were one of the winners! If you could email me at sharpknifenuts@gmail.com we can discuss your ring! Congrats!
Congrats. I'm in for a blue one!
Thanks brotha! I picked the winners for this drawing last week, but stay tuned, I'll be having more coming up.
Is the fork in the electrolyte solution stainless steel or titanium?
Yes it is
The fork. Is the fork titanium? Does the fork need to be Titanium or can you use stainless steel?
My fork is stainless, but you can use either for the cathode
I like your forged carbon core / blue / antique silver / opal. Can you make it with old gold or gold plating for a girl (with carbon / opal of course)?
Hey Marko, glad to hear you like the ring! I think there may be just a little bit of confusion, the "antique silver" is a resin pigment color. There is no actual silver in the ring. That being said, I have close to 100 different colors available for pigments. I believe I have 4 or 5 different gold pigment options. Antique gold is an option, along with a few others. I can completely customize a ring any way you like it. If that sounds good and you would like to further discuss having a custom ring made just let me know, I would love to create the ring for you!
Yellow blue and green or glow ring or the Galaxy ring
I appreciate your videos! I've been playing with anodizing the past few days with a similar kit, and it's been awesome to use. I was wondering if you knew of a way to give the final product a polished look.
If you put a polished finish on the titanium before you anodize, then it will have that same finish afterwards. The issue is if you etch it first you will dull the polish, but you can get away without etching, it just won't be as bright. The other issue is that a polished finish doesn't hold up quite as well as a brushed, or media blasted finish. It does look really good though. Give it a shot and see if you like it. Worst case, you can always strip it and re-anodize.
Another thing you might want to keep in mind is that the higher the voltage, the thicker the oxide layer, which is what refracts light at the different wavelengths and gives us what we see as the different colors. If you do a polished finish, go with a higher voltage (thicker oxide layer) to compensate a bit with wear resistance. Hope I made sense there, lol
@@ApollosRings that helps alot. The product I'm wanted to anodize costs around $700 and has tight tolerances, so I almost don't want to risk having to etch it and anodize a few times. I may hit you up on Instagram if you don't mind and send you some pics of what I'm going for.
Thanks again for the tips!
Feel free brotha, I'll help any way I can!
I'm having major issues with my Instagram today. I don't know what the deal is
I tried this on a satin finished surface, and it looks nice only from certain angles but looks really dull from other angles. What could be the cause? I think there might be fragment left in the micro grooves of the satin finish, but how can I get them out?
Wicked
Hi, I have a query regarding anodizing Titanium. Do you anodize per ISO 8080 ? We have an issue with one of our anodizing processor where the violet pigment fades when lightly rubbed by hands. Is this common for such a process ?
Good job man, have you heard of a product called multi-etch? It etches the material ina different way as not to change the finish of the titanium. It’s not an acid it doesn’t change the finish to that matte finish or media blasted look. After doing a few hundred fidget spinner anodizing trials I learned that the absolute best finish to achieve the richest or most vibrant colors is to use a satin finish (very close to machine finish). Whinks rust remover actually takes the titanium’s finish back a little bit, (even in small short intervals). Unless the eating utensils were going on display and never used otherwise the anodizing will wear off over time. No matter what chemicals you use the anodizing will wear off and they will need to be redone. So again it will go into the Whinks removing more of the satin finish. Multi-etch works differently, even if you leave it in for minutes at 120-150 degrees Fahrenheit it retains the finish. I order it from a place in Arizona. Here’s a link to a video on their website showing the edge retention. Keep up the good work, the world needs art and artists.
ruclips.net/video/NY-jzy1yBlk/видео.html
Hi Nic, could you please post the multi-etch product purchase link below? Do you dip titanium in the etching solution and rinse in water before anodizing? Appreciate it!
can this same process be done to billet aluminum? and in the cup you are anodizing is it still just distilled water and baking soda? great work also.
Thanks! It is just baking soda and distilled water, but this process won't work on aluminum. Its a different process. This is just for titanium, niobium, and a few other reactive metals.
Rochester? Maybe Vermont?
Anyway, that’s fucking awesome 👏🏻
My location?
And thank you!!👍🏼 Always appreciate you watching 👊🏼
What if I just want a purple to blue gradient?
You'll start getting purple around 18 volts, and then it'll go to blue till around 35 volts. If you just use those voltages for a general idea of where you need to be you can make the purple-blue gradient. You may need to adjust the voltage a little bit, but those numbers should get you in the ballpark.
Can you use something other than titanium wire ? Can't find any to buy.
Maybe clamp the Batteries directly to the object to be anodized?
Some people have said they have had good results with aluminum wire, but titanium wire is plentiful on Amazon. There is a link in the video description if you need it.
Finally got all our anodizing supplies, just havnt had the chance to do any anodizing yet, cant wait. 24 comments to go!! Lol!!
Glad to hear you got your supplies! You'll have to post some pics once you do a little anodizing. If you run into any issues, let me know, I'll see what I can do to help.
Lol, almost there on the comments. I'm going to probably give it through the weekend while I finish up a few projects I'm working on, then I'll call it if we aren't there yet. I don't want to let this drag on for too long.
@@ApollosRings we will for sure, we have the ZT 0808 and ZT 0801 for our first projects. We just don't get alot of free time with 5 kids lol!, but we will get there!
Can i anodized the screw on my engine motorcycle?
Whats is the characteristics of the object to anodized?
Appreciate the tutorials . Question . Hows the durability on this method of ano . And can you cover it with finish ( lacquer,epoxy , urethane etc ) without losing color ?
It's very durable, and the higher the voltage used, the higher the durability. You can coat it, but results vary. You aren't actually coloring the titanium, you're just building an oxide layer that reflects light differently at different thicknesses. When you add a clear coat it changes the look a bit(usually makes it show up darker)
Thanks . Great job .@@ApollosRings
I am in, had to go find you on Instagram to. Bronze and carbon fibre looks good in my mind :)
I can dig it! I almost did that combo earlier today as a matter of fact. I'll be doing a bronze here very soon, probably within the week. Stay tuned to the Insta for some sick pics!
Will it work using the kanthal nichrome wire that can be found in the vapes?
I've gotta be honest, I've always had the titanium wire on hand so I haven't tried the Kanthal personally. I think I have some laying around though, if I do I'll give it a shot and report back. If I remember correctly a few guys have tried it with not so great results. The ti wire is really cheap though, I highly recommend just shelling out a couple dollars for a spool. You will thank yourself later.
have you tried doing other knife metals D2, 1095 or any others?
Blue or carbon fiber ftw
What metal is the Fork?
Im your brother, I want it given to me anyway!! Haha. Good stuff brotha, keep it up dude!
Hahaha, thanks bro!
What’s the point of dipping in the whink in the beginning? Why etch it?
Etching in the Whink makes for a much more pronounced ano color. You can anodize without etching first, but the colors will be considerably more dull than if you etch first. There are other merchant options out there as well, but the Whink is a fairly cheap alternative. Some of the others can be pretty pricey. Multi-Etch is a popular etchant, and probably a little safer, as it's not an acid base, but it is way more expensive.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) ain't gonna help you much for HF burns. You need calcium carbonate (preferably gel). The problem with HF isn't the acidity, it's that it leaches out the calcium from the tissue. You need to give it a source of calcium to eat away at AND neutralize it.
In fact, if the reaction is exotermic, and i'm guessing the reaction with baking soda is, you might end up releasing HF gas, which is even worse, as it will get in your lungs and cause permanent damage.
🤔 How different is anodizing Ti with heat vs electricity? I can see a much bigger selection with electricity however, i guess asking for durability which one is better for worn items, jewelry / knives etc.
🤔 Do you have any videos of making the rings or just forming the blanks?
Awesome looking pieces!
So as far as the differences go, the biggest thing is you can get very exact, even colors with the electricity. The other big advantage is that you don't run the risk of warping any items with electricity. Sometimes you can screw up the lock bar with heat, so that was the main reason I never did much heat ano.
As far as durability is concerned, the different colors are really just different thicknesses of oxidation. The light is reflected at the different wavelengths through the different thicknesses giving the perception of colors, so the higher voltage colors tend to hold up a bit better just because the oxide layer is a bit thicker. I would recommend electro anodizing every time over heat just because of the control. The other factor that effects durability is the surface prep of the titanium. Highly polished surfaces will not hold up as well as a blasted finish because the blasted finish has more of a porous surface for the oxide to adhere to.
I only have one ring video up currently, and it is a really old one, but I have quite a few new ones filmed that are much better. I just need to find some time to get them edited, then I'll be adding them to the channel. Keep an eye out, there will be quite a few new ones coming soon. I just got a bunch of new video gear, and I'm about to finally add a power supply to the shop for anodizing as well. I have quite a few videos I'll be filming for all that in the very near future. Stay tuned! 👍🏻
How can i remove the anodize??
I use Whink Rust & Stain Remover to remove the anodizing. There is an Amazon link in the description of this video for it. That does an amazing job.
Hello ! can we replace the rust stain with something else? I can't find it in France
Multi-Etch is a great alternative. If you can get Multi-Etch, it's a bit more expensive, but does the job without acid.
@@ApollosRings ok thanks you ! i look that
That is a battery sulotion ?
bro, can i use this same process for aluminium or steel?
Unfortunately this process won't work on aluminum or steel.
Bro I want to win the spork along with the ring! Please make mine green and gold thank you soooo much 🙏
Bagus , 👍👍👍👍👍
Hiii..Can use bicarbonate of soda or not.
Yes, that's what I use.
Carbon fiber and green
Good choice! Drawing is coming up soon, stay tuned
Baking Soda? Does it work with Sulfuric Acid too?
Does Baking soda work on Aluminium?
I saw a video where the guy was heating the water.
The baking soda is simply to make an electrolyte solution. I haven't attempted it with sulfuric acid, so I couldn't tell you for sure. Any electrolyte solution should work though. It's a different process for aluminum though, and I don't believe that baking soda would do the trick there.
@@ApollosRings Very interesting. I came across a video of a bloke Anodising Aluminium with Sodium Bisulphate.
I've seen Titanium Anodising done with various voltages. In Anodising Aluminium it is about Current not Voltage.
A very complex field. I've been looking into Plating, Anodising, Electro Polishing etc.
I've just discovered your videos and they are pretty awesome! I'm creating jewels using silver metal clay, which is basically silver in a clay form which you fire at 900°C and then it gives you 100% solid silver. Would this anodizing process work on it, as well as sterling silver? Would it actually work on any kind of metal?
Hey, thanks for watching! Unfortunately this exact process does not work on every type of metal. You aren't completely out of luck though. There is an anodizing process for silver, but it is done with sodium poly sulfides, more commonly referred to as toning. I believe NurdRage has a video about it on his channel if you care to check it out.
@@ApollosRings Thank you for your answer, I will check this out. I will keep watching your videos, they're an endless source of wonder!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
What is voltage to make the goldish color
Its around 54 volts. I have another video on the channel that runs through each color with each different battery, 9-100 volts, if you're interested.
Have you gone any higher than 100.5 V? Or is that where the colors pretty much stop?
The colors start to repeat after 11 or 12 I believe. I have a color chart video if you're interested. If you have a power supply you can somewhat fine tune colors in between 9 volt increments, but those are the colors for the most part
@@ApollosRings I watched that one first and I think I remember you saying you went to 100.5 V. I was just curious if there were diminishing gains at that point or what. Thanks.
Yeah, pretty much the same colors on repeat.
Subbed with both my accounts! Definitely wanna win! Keep it up bud!
Good stuff! Thanks for watching and subscribing, and good luck!
Hey bud, did the ring drawing today and you were one of the winners! DM me on insta, or email me at sharpknifenuts@gmail.com so we can discuss your ring. Congrats!
NO WAYYYYYY!!!!! Emaling now@@ApollosRings
- BTW I missed my PURPLE YELLOW BLACK Ring ! - by ONE YEAR 😉
Can you make a rinbow gun slide?
If it's made of titanium. Unfortunately this particular process won't work on carbon or stainless steel.
I swear I would blow myself up doing this....can I get killed using 3 batteries ?
Lol, I think you'll be just fine. I've accidentally got a little poke from 11 9V's before. It gets your attention quick, fast, and in a hurry, but I'm still living to tell about it, hahaha!
Hi, do you know that etching even with small amount fluoride acid it will produce fluoride gas?
Yes, you absolutely want to wear proper PPE and have a well ventilated area to work in.
@@ApollosRings Did you ever tried to use safe products like multi-etch or titanetch?
I'd argue that safe is a relative term. With proper PPE virtually anything can be used safely. I've used multi-etch, but that can be cost prohibitive for the occasional one-time ano job. By no means do I suggest starting a anodizing business using Whink as an etchant, but I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.
@@ApollosRings Sad that in my country I can't buy any of these chemicals...
Where are you from?
Do you have to use whink?
No, but it tends to make the anodizing look much brighter.
Hello, have u even done a ano storm?
Hey! Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I have, and actually have a video of it that I'm currently filming. Should be up soon, stay tuned!👍🏼
@@ApollosRings I'll be looking for it.. Thanks for answering back.
👍🏼😉
What ingredients did you use ?
Watch the "How To Anodize Titanium Tutorial" on my channel for the full breakdown, and check the description for the Amazon product links 👍🏼
Hi
Howdy
Please contact number
distilled water is in battery?
You can just buy distilled water at the store in a jug. I would do that rather than getting it out of a battery.
Air suling tuh air aki bukan
Will this work on nickle or steel guitar strings?
No, unfortunately it won't. Not sure what you're planning on doing with it, but the do make super thin titanium wire that it will work on. If it's actually for a guitar that might not work for you though.
Thanks SharpKnifeNuts. I was just thinking it would be a cool look to have colored strings. Nice video!
Whats the name of the song in this video
I'll have to look and see if I can find it for you. I'm sorry, I meant to put it in the description. I guess I forgot. I'll check on that when I get a second and get back to you
