I think krazy glue should work fine, it is after all a cyanoacrylate glue (same as what I use in the video). To avoid sticking I just make sure that the glue is totally dry between coats and that there's no activator left on the ring. So if you give the ring a quick wipe with a dry paper towel or cloth after applying accelerator you should be fine. Sometimes I don't even use accelerator between coats because the later is so thin it dries really quickly anyway. Hope that helps!
The wood is beautiful as well as the final product. But that chunk of emerald looks like a piece of granite I could find in my back yard tbh. Still looks amazing as an inlay though
Thanks for watching and for the compliments. And frankly I agree about the emerald! But I've been working with a lot of opal lately and that stuff is awesome!
I hope you didn't payed too much for the "Emerald" because to me it doesn't look like one. Emeralds are green berylls and this doesn't like like a beryll at all.
@@benofalltrades That doesn't seem right to me, the density of a mineral doesn't change with gem quality (which means less impurities and thus them ebing translucent). Either way, it's good that you didn't get scammed because of this!
Lol, actually I do not play Minecraft :) And this is raw emerald, and is admittedly very white, but it's a thing. Gemstone quality emerald is much more vibrant, deep forest green. Thanks for watching!
Liked the video and your process, but I have never seen an “emerald “ that color. I guess it could be genuine, but when the average person sees the word emerald, they expect a green color, not white. This will probably cause you a marketing problem. Just sayin’
To be honest I agree with you about the emerald. It may have to do with the difference between gem quality emerald and raw emerald. I just got this stuff off Amazon. It's a very light green
@@benofalltrades You should look for proper mineral stores that'll sell you the right stuff for the appropiate price. (Avoid any store that sells you "healing" crystals or any related spiritual nonsense. They often give the right description of the mineral and overprice the piece they have). Minerals can have different and important properties regarding stuff like this e.g. brittleness, hardness and cleavages. Would suck if you ordered e.g. a colourful quarz variation or corundum and all you'd get is a soft fluorite. You can't distinguish minerals by their colour alone.
Very cool video, also reminder to others not to be heavy handed with the accelerator as it can cause discoloration of the glue!
The moment you use the accelerator, you’re good to work. It’s instant.
Nice video!
You deserve a hell of a lot more subscribers.
Zmichy thanks! I really appreciate it. Maybe someday ;)
This makes my happy parts get happy
Haha wellll, I'm glad you're happy ;)
Good job man!
I love making rings but all I got is hand tools, makes the job a whole lot harder, I still manage to do it tho so it's alright, nice video man
That is awesome! I definitely respect hand tools. I don't have the patience or skill for it :)
Hi I was just wondering if you can use KRAZY glue? And when applying the glue does it ever stick to the cloth?
I think krazy glue should work fine, it is after all a cyanoacrylate glue (same as what I use in the video).

Nice!
where did you get the mandrel
I think I got it at bangleguy.com. But if you search "expanding ring mandrel" you'll find several good options
where did you pick up your expanding ring mandrel?
bangleguy.com is where I got mine. I know patrickadairsupplies.com has them too! Thanks for watching!
BA Woodworking thank you for the info sir. I actually just stumbled across patricks videos today. Keep up the videos, been enjoying them.
Awesome
Thanks!
What kind of lathe do you use?
Johnny Johnston it's a shopfox w1704. It's my first lathe :)
Thank you! Been looking for a lathe
Do you use full size gouges and skews?
I think mine are a bit on the smaller side. Like a 1/2" skew and a similar sized gouge. I'm not sure haha
I hope you didn't payed too much for the "Emerald" because to me it doesn't look like one.

It's raw emerald and much lighter than gem quality emerald. Certainly much cheaper!
Thanks for watching!

@@Vulcano7965 I'm certainly no expert! Learning as I go
Does he know emeralds are green? I mean do you even play Minecraft
Lol, actually I do not play Minecraft :)

@@Vulcano7965 thanks for the advice! Yes it's been hard to find good stones/minerals. I appreciate your input!
