" For rings you would need to get some ring stock and basically cut the design of the size of piece you would need for your ring. It comes pre-drilled or solid so you can drill it out yourself. It’s pretty small so you want to get it to where it’s going to fit your finger or whoever you’re making it for using a jewelry mandrel and maybe a ringer sizer, finding out your ring size. So basically that is what you would use to make rings here. As you can see here, that’s how I would make an engagement ring which is what I would do most of the time here. Wedding bands, engagement rings, larger just basic design rings for fun. These are different examples. You would basically want to measure your width and the inside size that you would need, cut all that away first and then proceed to carving your design out. I also teach this here at Hard Core Studios, it’s not so easy to dive into if anybody would like to check it out feel free."

on 8/2/2008 Very interesting, informative, would like a video or source with a more complete detail, seems to know how to do it all. Would love to take classes from someone with this type of experience. This is exactly the type of information that I was looking for. Has just enough to get an understanding of the process and the difficulty involved. I would love to learn how to do all this wonderful work. I live in Tucson Arizona I would love to find a place locally where I could take classes on how to do exactly what is shown on these videos.
