I was on here at 5:30 am and thought I would look at local LJ`s and see what kind of work they do ” ie: steal there Ideas ” and add them to my own, found a guy from a local city who amongst other great feats had made a ring from scrap in his shop not that I need one but someday my daughter might want some bling ” she is two ”
and this was a neat and simple project it takes more concentration than I had expected and a few went the wayside but two worked out and now I just have to make them fit a 3/8” finger
oh boy

Make them bigger and she can wear them as braclets instead of rings. Either way she will love them.

They look great and you’re quite welcome! This is the exact same setup I use. As you’ve no doubt discovered, because the ring is only held in place by friction, you always want to work on the smaller side of the cone. That way your tool is pushing the ring tighter onto the cone. One thing I did was to glue a 240 grit sandpaper onto the cone, it makes for less slippage when turning.

A lathe?! I used a drill bit with sandpaper taped to it and a 1” unibit to start the hole. Then used my “green” sander to shape it. Final shaping was by hand with increasing grit papers. You guys sure know the easy way to do stuff! lol!
