Absolutely love your designs. Your videos are what got me into ring-making!

Dope ring, the inlays are awesome!

As always, great work

love your videos!! your creations are absolutely amazing!!

This is so cool, i was thinking about this combination this morning dude, so cool to see you allready done it. To be totally honest Tempest, you have been a fantastic source of inspriration to me, absolute love your vids and gave me te spirit to make beautys as well. Thnx for al the uploads mate, you rock and so are your products.

Lovely ring....All the best.....Andy

Beautiful! Love your videos as always. :)

I love your designs and work. I think the brass on a diagonal would look awesome. Keep up the great work.

Great video, thanks!

You are an amazing craftsman, I made a mahogany ring out of a branch from the tree in my backyard. You make this stuff look too easy.

AMBER !!! RING FROM AMBER !!! IT WILL BE AWESOM !!!

looking good

Beautiful. I agree with you, a black background would make that brass pop.

I know absolutely nothing about rings, but I find is extremely interesting.

Makes me want to collect rings

Nice.

There was a lot of work to add the brass and it did not stand out. It was subtle but I would have approached it differently. I like the inner wood to avoid the staining from copper, nice solution.

A jeweler's saw would leave finely cut square grooves. It's much more suited for fine work like this than a triangular file or an abrasive disk, both of which would leave grooves with a rounded bottom.

Keep up the good work. I love your videos. Your channel gave me inspiration to try and make rings as well! Do you still like to use the same glue, resin, and tools as you started with on the channel? I'm working on getting supplies as I can afford to.

You should totally do a wood one with painted black sides and 90 degree steel or brass inlays so it looks like a guitar frett board

I don't understand the unlikes, your rings are amazing.

I know of at least 2 other people - besides myself - that Ian's ripped off. Dude refuses to handle his business in a mature, responsible, adult way. Dude's not getting any kudos from me until he refunds me the $100+ he owes me.

Nice work. I really enjoy these. I have forged some copper cuff bracelets for my wife and daughters. I used some 1/4" square stock copper. I have a tough time with them turning and started painting them with clear gloss paint. But I like that UV coating. Does that stuff yellow any? I may have to get a uv light and try some.

I would LOVE to learn how to make these...any advice??

Another nice ring. How did you make the UV bath? Nail dryers?

Long story short a series of events resulted in me exploring your channel. Your rings are beautiful and so reasonably priced! This is a long shot but, I have a ring.. and I am allergic to it. Is there anyway you could make a wooden liner for an existing ring?

I really enjoy your videos. I have made a few rings but have problems with the wood veneer splintering during the wrapping process. Maybe because I’m making size 6 rings. Is there a place that I can order good veneer?

looks good but i think i would like to have a finer scratch free finish on the copper. Is there a way to obtain that or is that a characteristic of copper?

Could do Celtic ring look.next

I'd like to use it to make it.🇰🇷

Tempest, Love your rings! Would you kindly share what brand UV Resin/Bath you are using? How does the UV Resin hold up over time? Any problems with it flaking off?

I believe he uses Allumi-uv by Allumilite.

Liked the video and thought your attention and skills succeeded. I agree , in that , a bit more contrast on the face would be more appealing but love the work and results here as well :) Sincerely .................................

Make another, add nickle silver wire with the darker copper background, maybe even a hammered copper. 😮

Love it, Please please please put a link to the UV resin and UV cure box you use. TIA 👍

I think he uses Allumi-uv from Allumilite. They sell the boxes on their site too. I’ve seen people use the light boxes people have to cure nail polish for this purpose too. Instead of using the light, laying down on the table, turn it up, so the lights are vertical. Then hang your item in front in the lights.

bit late but what the hell love the idea of the design, though the copper could have been blued or even greened steel or titanium to make the brass stand out a bit more

What’s the tool and bit you used for cutting the channel for the wire?

Possible to make rings with lower end equipment? Dont have the room for belt sander and such

Where did u get that uv bath thing at. I've tried using that uv resin but only can do uv flashlights and it doesn't work very well

If you had smaller fingers and did not need to size up would you just build the ring to size?

you should make a ring that looks like a guitar neck.

Think some epoxy and black dye in it for the wire would've looked classy

Did you make the ring that you were wearing in this video?

Love it! When can i buy one?

Buyer beware. Dude took me for $100; I purchased 2 rings from Tempest for Christmas, as a joint present between me and my best friend. I purchased them in mid-Dec., with the understanding that it would take 6 weeks to make. I also understood it was close to Christmas, so there might be some delay, but by Feb 4th, I still had no rings and emailed Ian. He apologized for the delay and told me he'd start on my rings and have them out the door by the coming Friday, which I accepted. In that email, I also asked if one of the rings could be made larger in size than the original order asked for. Ian said it would be no problem. Yet, when I received the rings, the one I asked to be resized had not been(I have a ring sizer, and know how to use it properly; I'm no stranger with making jewelry). I emailed Ian, informing him that the ring didn't fit; he said it was no problem, just put it back in the mail and he'd correct the issue. I did that. I have not heard a word since. I gave him another month and a half or so, to give him time to remake the ring(as I assume you can't really 'resize' them), but I've not heard a peep out of the owner either time I've reached out. So now I'm out $100, from someone who doesn't have the professionalism to return my emails or my money to me. Do not buy from Tempest; they don't have the maturity to deal with customer service issues, and they WILL take your money.

What size gauge of brass inlay do you use in this ring?

Hey how do you keep the rings on the skew without them sliding down? I’ve tried but I can get it to work

Put a bit of masking tape on your mandrel then add a few drops of glue. Should keep it in place and just use light pressure with your skew.

how do you keep your uv resin from dripping while curing? every time i try and cure my rings i end up with some kind of drip or running no matter how little i use

2 X UV LED Fingernail curing boxes. Remove base plates from each and tape together.

What is the width of this ring?

A little mo polish...

It's sad, the nicest part is on the inside.

I actually thought it looked awesome with the black tape on it, lol

Where is mr Cochran's hate comment?

It seemed like a lot of work to do the cross inlay... So many of them, so close together... I guess its just a matter of personal preference, but I think it would have looked better with less cross inlays ... You know, less is more saying ..

The dislikes are from the people who are too jealous and can't afford it

Or from the fact that the dude has ripped people off for money. That'll do it too. Took me for $100, and that's not including shipping.

Nice work, but not your best ring. The contrast between copper and brass inlays is to weak. The grinded slots for the vertical inlays seemed to be to big so there is a gap remaining. And the copper surface looked scratchy at some spots, would polish it a little more. But the wood inlay looked really fantastic. I really liked that one. Sorry for being that critical but the finished ring was not the quality your other amazing rings are. It looked like done in a little hurry.

could you please make me a oak wooden ring for free, is so i can give you my information.
