Yeah I need to find a good way to display them.

@@punishedprops some kind of shadowbox showing the ring plus years 19xx to 20xx. Something like that :)

​@@punishedpropsyou could even throw in hair the two of you in the mix in a spiritual sense while making a new ring where both of your DNA are embedded

Heyoooo! 😂

Haha! Thats a fun idea. 😄

i was in the middle of typing this exact same thing!

​@@punishedpropsthe rising Phoenix from ashes and flames!

I didn't even think of that. How poetic!

I'm oooold, Gandalf...

So true!

That’s exactly what I was going for! 😄

Thanks! 😄

That's a really great idea!

That's so cool! You're welcome. =D

You’re welcome!

Haha! It didn’t take long to switch strategies. 😂

Thank you so much!

Ooh neat idea!

Thank you. Sorry to hear your story took a different turn.

@@punishedprops Thank you. I'm so very glad for the good times we had, but it is very fair to say that it was not the fairy tale ending I thought our fairy tale life was leading to.

We’ve been having a lot of fun making videos every week again. 😄

Thanks so much!

Those are so cool!

Thank you!

Seems like yesterday!

Ooh you’re gonna have a ton of fun.

Thanks!

Thanks!

The ring of Theseus! =D

That *sounds* fun!

Yeah, what happened!?

I see what you did there!

Thank you!

Yeah, geez. It's like it was just yesterday...

Sounds like fun!

wooooow.... wow. yep, feeling old :D

What a great idea!

Bravo! We’re on year 14. ♥️

Good call! he old nig weighs 3.82g and the new one weighs 4.86g. It lost over a gram of material in 7 years!

Yes, that's a great idea!

Thanks so much!

Sure! Even some spray lacquer would protect it for a little while.

We really want to try electroplating but haven’t yet!

@@punishedprops I saw someone mention i think on reddit that it is possible to plate pewter and that they had good success with acidic plating electrolyte whatever that means. I once tried electroplating copper on some brass guitar pickup covers. I remember making the solution from distilled white vinegar and household hydrogen peroxide and dissolving a copper dish scrubbing pad into a warm (like nice warm bath water warm) but not cooking hot solution of the two in a glass container until it turned pale blue. I used a cheap variable power supply and some of that bare copper wire electricians use for your house outlets so you can make a coil that sort of follows the electrolyte container walls without touching the object anywhere. It was harder than I thought… first you need to really clean the surface of the object to be plated like literally every spec of oil and oxidation and use gloves when handling it. Second getting good electrical connection to the object as well and moving it every so often both at the electrical connection and in the jar of electrolyte without messing it up so that it plates evenly can be tricky for some things. Thirdly the electrical contact wire will also try to get plated so it might grow weird tendrils that make junk that could gets in the way of a good plating… i think some people use stuff like coffee filters between the object and claim adding other stuff to the electrolyte helps the source metal electrode make the plating more even somehow… but just as important is also why a variable power supply can be nice as you can set the voltage or current to control the speed, Once you get good with copper which is the most common cheap “base” metal to plate then you can plate over with other metals like nickel, silver, or gold… but you need to buff the surface again without buffing the plating off and use different electrolyte solutions for each metal though most of the time because gold is so expensive people use a brush plating method where you have a bit of the metal to plate covered in something soft that holds on to the electrolyte and you connect it and the object to be plated to the power supply and essentially brush on metal… It is tricky but the reward is a new craft not many can do. I do wonder looking at your ring if you could go copper on the whole thing… then silver over that.. then carefully paint the recesses of your design in a clear varnish carefully wiping any excess off the top with acetone and then brush plate the high points in gold, you could even remove the varnish after and force oxidize the silver to a nice black…for the contrast you like. What i don’t recommend is heating… i wanted those cool thin oxidation colors you can get from copper when you carefully heat it… i tried controlling it with a high temp oil like i do with my cast iron pans but the heat more often than not would cause the plating to bubble off of the brass in places on the pickup covers.

Ooh I wonder.

Right??

Yeah that can’t be right. That would put me in my 40s!

I could probably have Shapeways print it in a precious metal.

​@@punishedprops and me, close to my 30's!

​@@punishedpropsYES!!

Mold making is in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7KqoZiSzbnTfWg.htmlsi=LuKrS2Qo_g7Yf8oY

My BIL has a silicon band that he wears to work.

Also, neither of my parents ever wear their rings. My dad is a farmer, and it isn't safe. My mom's hands swell, so rings don't fit. I remember my great uncle having to go to the ER because his ring got caught, so I won't criticize anyone for not wearing a ring. There are just so many options. A tattoo is yours and is awesome.

If I didn’t have this ring I would probably just get a tattoo.

If you shoot me a message over on Twitter, I would he happy to help out. twitter.com/chinbeard

@@punishedprops I don't have Twitter sorry

Thanks!
