The bevels look amazing due to their ability to reflect lighting from many different angles, especially when viewed in real life rather than just photos. Do you want a custom ring?

@VegaP66 years ago I' m shocked at how big a difference there is when you didn' t do a baking soda bath, compared to the mokume ring you did before when you did. It looks amazing! 6

@sirtblairjr5 years ago Hey patrick, wow, that ring is outstanding. I really like the way the lines come out. Very crazy pattern on it. The different metals in it makes the ring pop out. Very nice ring.

@MyPinkPanda6 years ago Omg i love the mokume gane rings so much!

@HoY_826 years ago Not going to lie, the way you overlayed your sponsorship video over your work is much more effective than how a lot of creators just tag on a full minute to the beginning or end of their videos. 136

@

@austinmayer12666 years ago If you want to do little to no work sanding the inside later it helps if you push the tool bit away from the part before you pull it out so it doesnt scratch the sides.

@caldxeero6 years ago Beautiful craftsmanship, i' d love a ring like that, hope it goes on the store, keep up the great work.

@writerblocks95536 years ago Oh cool! Those wood grain rings are really neat, one of these days i will have to purchase one for sure.
@

@Jbrooks12196 years ago Have you ever tried to put your ring mandrel on a cordless drill lock the ring into the mandrel and then take it to the buffing wheel while the ring is spinning on the drill. I find you get an awesome polish that way. 1

@ChesireHeart6 years ago What do you do with all the left over material? A lot comes off of the ring when you shape it, do you use it for inlays of other rings? 3

@hitchano6 years ago What would the care be for a ring like this? The brass will need to be protected from tarnishing and copper from oxidizing right?

@christinefedruk51614 years ago So glad to know how to pronounce it at last! Big fan of the mokume but the angles on this one look uncomfortable.
@

@zane66706 years ago Can you force a patina onto it? Brass and copper can patina pretty easily but nickel shouldn' t. Also, saw some brass aging stuff online which might make a cool antique brass look.

@jadesaber996 years ago Could you make a ring out of a neodymium(or other) magnet it would be interesting to hear how it would feel to wear it and see if you could feel the vibrations of nearby electric currents.

@christianiglesias10026 years ago That metal would make an awesome infinity gauntlet ring, you could use glow powder in place of the stones.
@

@xaytana6 years ago While the material is cool, i think i' d prefer if thepatterning was either parallel to the band, or on a diagonal. Perpendicular stripes with two polar sections isn' t as appealing to me.
i wonder if you could do patterning in rod stock for mokume gane and damascus, i know you can in flat stocks and it can give cool looks to blades. ...Expand 2
