Jerrod turns two ring bands out of wood and inlays one of them with pink coral.

I haven't done this for about 20 years. You have inspired me to start again!

Nice video!!! I just got my first lathe ever in Jan and looking forward to making a few rings with it.

Really great job on the rings! I love how the coral inlay looks against the dark walnut. I am really interested in woodworking. I have very limited experience with wood, (I'm talking from way back in middle school wood shop) but I always enjoyed it, and wanted to get into it. I subscribed to your channel, and cant wait to see what else you have in store for us! I hope she liked the rings! :)

Well, I didn't get everything all at once. If you start slowly buying what you need, through time, your shop will be complete.

I might suggest, without reading everyones comments, using a small parting tool to make the groove for the inlay. Should give a wider band of inlay as you decrease the thickness of the ring itself. That is what I did on the couple I made and it worked pretty good. I like your methods otherwise.

Hey Guy ! What the mark of your big glue bottles (liquid one, and, if I understand right, a gel one ... ) ?? I'm gonna to watch for this on E-Bay ... (for shiping to France)... Have you a right link to share with me on E-Bay ? Thanks in advance !

Hey, thanks for the vid. Good stuff. I was wondering how you jigged up the drill to do the intial hole in the blank while it was on the lathe. If you could explain I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to do a ring myself. One thing I might consider just to cut down on the bulk of that ring is shaping the ring a bit more and doing a more shallow channel for the inlay once the ring is smaller to start with. Not sure if that would get it too thin, and you'd worry about splitting the thing or not.

+Anthony Spencer Hey, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. The piece of wood is being held by the chuck and then on my tail stock, I have the drill bit in a drill chuck. The one advise I would give is definitely use your chisel to get the outside of the ring to the thickness you want the ring to be before you drill out the material. Doing it the way I did where you drill first, then remove material made the thickness of the walls slightly off. It's not extremely noticeable, but it's not perfect. Let me know if I answered your question or if you need anything else and thanks for watching.

Lovely work Jerrod. When your voice is as bad as today, use some steam inhalation.(a Little Vicks Vaporub in hot water)

Lol!!! Thanks for the advice.

How did the ring(s) hold up? I've seen other turners say they didn't last more than two months of daily use.

@Woodturnersjournal 6 жыл бұрын

The thin one cracked with time and the other is just fine. I'm actually working on a better way to make these rings. I'll post an update when I figure it out. Thanks for watching.

@randysmith106 6 жыл бұрын

Impregnate/stabalize the wood with polyester clear casting resin in a pressure pot before turning your ring. P.S. Your address was on the news paper LOL ...... oops?

What brand/model lathe do you use in this video? It looks like it works nicely for you!

@Woodturnersjournal 7 жыл бұрын

Guy Smith Rikon 70-100. It may appear it works nice, but I do not recommend it. It's cheaply made and the cast metal parts crack easily. If you are serious about wood turning, I would recommend spending a little more money on the Jet or something better. Just my opinion.

@lucafrancesco1900 7 жыл бұрын

Guy Smith If your from the US I'd recommend the Harbour Freight 7X10 mini lathe, if your from Europe the Sieg SC3 3000 7X14 (what I use), both mini lathes are great and very precise as well as powerful, but cost varies greatly dependant on supplier :)

good job!..where do you buy your ca glue?..ty

@lesportesdutemps847 7 жыл бұрын

Hi ! Thanks for sharing this vid ! You seem to use two different kinds of CA glue ... Can you tell me more about it ? Thanks in advance !

@Woodturnersjournal 7 жыл бұрын

Les Portes du Temps The only real difference was the thickness of them. One is like a water and then the other has a medium thickness. I used that to make sure it didn't run everywhere. It's a little easier to manage. They both dry the same though.

@lesportesdutemps847 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks ! It seems that the medium thickness takes more time for drying, and so more time to work with ?

@Woodturnersjournal 7 жыл бұрын

Les Portes du Temps Yeah, but not really that much longer. Maybe it takes a few minutes over the 1 minute for the thin CA glue.

It´s awesome! What Basic tools do I need as a beginner?

@Woodturnersjournal 8 жыл бұрын

Other than a lathe, You need at least a bowl gouge, parting tool, and skew chisel. Also, a good quality face mask and a respirator for dust. If you don't have the lathe already, then you'll probably need a chuck along with a center.

@Shanaynay409 8 жыл бұрын

hey I was wondering where you purchased the coral?

@Woodturnersjournal 8 жыл бұрын

I got it a while ago from craftsuppliesusa.com. If they no longer carry it, you may have to do a internet search for it. Sometimes I actually find great supplies on eBay.

A different way to do a wooden ring, but seems to be more CA glue than wood

Happy wife, Happy life. love the inlay ring, I plan to make my lady a similar one with sand from our Cancun vacation together. Quick question, what are your buffing steps, like, grit, or brand names, etc. the last step looks like beeswax. buffing is new to me. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. Subscribing!

Pretty sure I can see your address on that newspaper (13:00) Nobody is probably going to come over because of your ring techniques, just thought I would say something. Nice work btw.

Andrew Strom Thanks for the heads up. I don't live there anymore, so they are more than welcome to stop by. Not really sure what you got out of the other comment, but all the same, thanks.
