I wanted to make a casted resin ring that was filled with shredded cash. So I got shredded cash, that is in strips. Shredded cash usually comes from like the Federal Reserve. When they have old dollar bills that they just shred up. So there is like a few hundred dollars of cash in my bag. It's just all shredded up and it does not cost that much,  maybe 20 bucks. One thing I wanted to try was adding gold. I went and got a gold leaf that is super thin. I don't want to touch. If I touch that...

   I decided to make a casted resin ring that was mostly clear with tiny flowers inside. I also wanted to add a small amount of glow powder. To do this I had to cast a puck shape and use a section of PVC pipe that I have cut out as a mold.    I used polyester resin because it's easier to get bubble-free cast with it versus other resins, like alumalite for example. I sealed off the bottom of the PVC pieces just putting a piece of packaging tape on it. Then being careful I pressed it onto the...

I wanted to make an acid etched superconductor ring with obsidian facets. I had lots of fun making this ring. I had a customer who wanted a ring that's very similar but made out of a different material.

First, I cut off a piece from my tilted superconductor rod. I did think this ring would look much better with the tilted superconductor on...

I was working with Tyler Wright today from Carbon Fi. Tyler is a carbon fiber designer and he designed this carbon fiber ring to have a certain appearance and glow to it. Tyler has been developing this ring for over 5 years and has succeeded at making the worlds brightest glowing carbon fiber ring. The goal for this ring was to make a carbon fiber ring that looks like a normal carbon fiber ring in the day but really glows at night. Instead of laminated things together, he actually infused the glow right into the carbon fiber itself. This makes...

 Today I wanted to do something a little bit different and special. I now have a little over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, so I wanted to create a special ring from my silver YouTube play button to help celebrate. I am going to be incorporating pieces and particles from my real silver play button, as well as some sterling silver, gold, and diamond pieces. I decided to use the silver, gold, and diamond pieces since these are the other play buttons I hope to get in the future. I wanted this ring to have a black and red theme for...
