Interesting craft type videos....
« on: January 15, 2012, 08:35:49 AM »
Found these on the favourites of one of my new youtube sub's.



This one on making rings but there are loads that might just give you a few ideas of things to incorporate in some of your own work?


I've watched bout 15 of them this morning! (now going to go out to the workshop like I planned to 4 hours ago! Curse you youtube!  :hammer: )

Our wedding bands are Mokume Gane. My wife and I actually worked with the jeweler to make them. One day I was going to put the pictures together for a post.

Nah... That is an unfinished ring picture! I had just soldered the piece to create the ring in that picture.

This is the ring almost done:
