    I learned a technique by Atz Lee Kilcher on "Alaska the Last Frontier." He used long strips of plane shavings wrapped around a cylindrical form covered with clear packing tape, and gluing as he went, using CA glue. He also used CA glue as a finish, which gives a smooth, glossy finish. It's messy and you have to be careful not to glue your fingers to it, but it turns out nice, with several concentric layers.

    Long story short, my mother in law threw my wedding band away about 10 years ago, and I haven't replaced it. I have a bit of silver maple from a tree that came out of my front yard. I might be able to get some walnut from family's farm. I want to ebonize the walnut and make a laminated ring. How do you stabilize the woods first?

    When you arrange the layers, you try to "stagger" the grain, correct? To minimize the chance of splitting. Very nice result. Thanks for the guide.

    What you can do is bake the padauk in the oven at 300F for an hour or so. I've found that helps keep the color without burning it. It'll still discolor over time, but will last quite a while

      Yes the intro and outro are shot with a deep depth of field on a tripod. The main shots are a little more artistic with a shallow depth of field so that you have more bokeh in the shot.

      That would not be easy, but it is possible. It works best if you can laminate the wood so that it has more strength.

    Hiya, and thanks for sharing. I like your videos. I like your down to Earth style and the way you make the vids. I tried making a ring by gluing up plane shavings until they were thick enough. It sort of worked but it wasn't nearly as nice as yours.
    I wonder if one of those little hubs? I don't know what they're actually called but the thing that you put a sanding sleeve on and when you tighten it it expands to hold the sleve securely. So I'm wonder why you couldn't use one of those so you can chuck it in the drill press or ever your hand drill and get it spinning that way. It's somewhere between a rasp and a lathe but technically still not a lathe. If you haven't got one of those expanding thingies, then with a little imagination an appropriately sized dowel could be made into one. It just seems like it would be worth the effort to get it spinning since getting it whittled down to size and perfectly round would be a snap that way.

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  2 года назад

      I have made them on a lathe several times before. But I generally prefer to just file them down by hand. I find it to be far more enjoyable of a process. And in many cases surprisingly faster. But to each their own. There's a thousand ways to do it.

    I am a beginner ring maker and I had to figure out alot of this stuff on my own so it's cool that you made this video . Would wood glue work for the wood sandwich? I have never used apoxy so it's a bit scary. Don't know what kind to use or anything. And just a trick that I figured out Is that I use plexy glass in my sandwich to give it strength but idk how well wood glue will stick to plexy . Can I buy some of these woods online by chance ? And ive been racking my brain on how to split the wood with what I have so nice work with the little hand saw. I was thinking about using ny table saw and jig to hold the piece in place while I cut it or I was thinking about locking the piece in place with some kinda jig and use my router to thin it out. I like the finish on this and it was easy to do. I've been trying to figure out how to work the super glue the right way to give it a good finish and I don't have a laith so I'm only using my drimmel tool and drill. Also liked the file trick to get it perfect. I was flipping my belt sander on its side and sanding it to the line which is hard to do and easy to mess somthing up quick. All mine so far that I made like the one you did have broken pretty quick like and I used toung oil on it and sanded it all the way up to 3000 grit so it was smooth but the finish isn't water proof so that's an issue as well. I would love to be ablw to talk over the phone so I could get some pointers let me know I'd that's somthing your willing to do. I've also experimented with copper wire and shaved copper and I have even carved a stone from the yard into something I could put in the ring and it polished up nicely. I want to do more work like that too. So any advice would be awesome. Me and my wife just started paying for a booth to sell stuff at an antique store so I think the wooden rings might do well there . I'm also looking for stuff I can build to put in the booth besides the rings. It's just that the rings take up no space . I would love to get some ideas from you. Thx .

    If you don't want to get stuck measuring the size of the hole, you could use your callipers; you know, the thingy for measuring stuff and transferring measurements. Set the calliper to the inside measurement of the hole and then lock the jaw. Then try to slip the outside jaws of the calliper over the finger. Voila - no fingers get trapped while checking the size.
