Video demonstrates how to make a beautiful ring with a bentwood core which makes a very sturdy ring that can be worn daily. I mounted a trim router to my Drillpress and developed the process. Here is a link on how to make a mount for your trim router to attach to the drillpress: • Mount Your Trim Router...

I really like how you used the tools you have to accomplish what you needed. The router on the drill press base, using a hole saw to cut out your blanks, etc. This is a great example of how to extend the reach of the tools you have, and get more from them. The answer isn't always a new tool. Sometimes you just need to look at what you have differently. Well done, and happy building.

@carmelpule6954 8 жыл бұрын

+olon2 The shavings come from the sharpness and not the type of plane. My grand father had wooden planes and the sharpness was so important and he could get the same shavings. IN fact I would say that the edge is as sharp as a razor. There is a lot of know how in grinding and lapping and that edge. The man in this video knows what he is doing, he loves the wood and treats it ever so gentle for after all, wood is alive!!!

@renatocosta811 9 ай бұрын

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzfaq.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

@graceandtimbercompany528 8 жыл бұрын

Quick question. Ive set up my drill press and drillmaster trim router with the 1/4 downward spiral and for some reason it is really tearing up the wood. gouges and then shatters a few. Any ideas on why? I've adjusted my press (a cheapie) speed to lowest which sorta helped but still it doesn't come close to how you are cutting with that same bit... Help!! :) Edward~

@Selandry1 8 жыл бұрын

Could be several things. Most likely is that your bit is dull. Other things that cause your issue are using wood glue instead of epoxy and having the wood grain not oriented correctly. I found that some woods (cocobolo) have to be sanded to final thickness because it shatters with the router technique no matter what you do. I have resorted to sanding many of my rings to get final thickness by using a portable table top drill press I designed and bring it over to the drum sander. If sanding is not an option and you have tried all my tips then make sure you have a soft wood like pine on the top and bottom of the ring that can be removed later to act as a tear out preventer. Acts like a kind of like a zero clearance fence. Again the most likely issue is that your bit is dull. I pulled my hair out and discovered a lot of tricks to prevent tear out when all i needed to do was get a new spiral bit. Let me know how you solve your issue please. Good luck.

@Selandry1 8 жыл бұрын

I'm sure there are other things that can be causing this that I have not discovered, so I would appreciate your feedback if you do find another solution.

@graceandtimbercompany528 8 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks so much on the reply. I just bought the bit. So far I've tried it on solid pieces only. I have no yet tried with the top/bottom pieces. I will try with to see how it goes. I am not doing the bentwood core process yet. No plane. :) I appreciate your time and look to the day I can make rings as amazing as yours.. Ed

@aarondcmedia9585 8 жыл бұрын

Ok so were the shavings glued on with CA? And the layers next using 2 part epoxy? Could you use "normal" wood glue instead or is it just not strong / filling enough?

@Selandry1 8 жыл бұрын

Normal glue does not work. The pieces that are glued together shatter when you try to shave it down with the router.

@harrysmith5676 8 жыл бұрын

+Selandry1 What wood are you using to make the shavings?

@harrysmith5676 8 жыл бұрын

+Selandry1 Are you using cedar for the sacrificial blank because you have it in the shop or is it something you have experimented with and like to use?

@Selandry1 8 жыл бұрын

+Harry Smith I used pine for the shavings on this ring, but I also use maple, walnut or cherry shavings depending on the ring design. For the sacrificial core I used the pith of a cedar 2x4 because it is darker than the pine which makes it easier to see when all the core has been removed. I do the opposite and use a light wood for the mandrel if I use darks wood shavings. You should check out my new ring video where I make a much nicer ring and you will see what I mean.

@Bc5xdown 7 жыл бұрын

very nice. however if you really wanna speed this whole process up..ditch the router...take a set of spade bits and cut them down and mount to your hole saw and in one pull you have a ring..then sand the inside with a taper...

@antmallett6065 7 жыл бұрын

Great, I may just try it for myself then. Only thing is, my hole saw arbour needs a flat on the inserted bit in order to be usable. No worries for people with different arbour styles, or access to a milling machine. Not my worry, but a point in case.
