How to Make Wood Rings With a Dremel

You don't need to invest in a lot of expensive tools to make something fun! In this video I carve some rings with nothing but a Dremel 4300 rotary tool. I think they make a great gift idea, and I highly recommend giving it a try.
Most Dremel carving projects are very budget friendly past the initial cost of the Dremel, so having one is a great resource to make some meaningful gifts for others (as long as you have the patience). Check out the rest of the channel for more Dremel projects!

If you're looking for more wood carving designs and videos, I recommend watching the video where I carve a greek paddle with a Dremel 4300. I use Walnut, Poplar, and Epoxy! The epoxy was a hassle but came out really cool.

I work at a hardwood timber supplier and mill. I have access to SOOOO much free high grade wood. I live in a flat. This is a PERFECT hobby for me

If anyone is have the same problem with a bulging after mounting on the drum sander this will help. The bulge happened because the tape was not applied uniformly causing the ring to be off center and thus out of round when sanded. To avoid this take care when rapping the sader not to fold over any of the layers of tap and try to use as few strips as possible.

My grandfather was a wood worker he made just about everything in the early 1900's. He was dead way before I was born. I have always loved woodworking and didn't know about his passion til I was older . He made wooden bracelets. He also made a few violins. Hell he even made a few of his own tools.

One thing ive found helpful: when wrapping the sanding drum with tape (i prefer electrical tape since it grips well), do so with the screw on top of the drum REMOVED. Once you have your ring snug on the drum, insert the screw and tighten as you normally would. This of course will slightly compress the rubber and thus it will become slightly wider at its equator. In other words, it will really lock the ring in place extra tight.

Love the dark wood one. Love the pattern the grain of the wood gives.

2 suggestions.
1. Use a hole saw on a drill to get the outside of the ring close to the finished diameter.

2. use a series of twist drills to get close to the inside diameter.

You can then get your final sizes using the various Dremel bits for shaping, sanding and polishing. It will save you a lot of time and eating wood dust.

You don't have to cut the piece to make it flat. Just hold it vertically over sandpaper and lower it down till it aligns with pencil mark. The Dremel Workstation would be an excellent tool to have in this situation. You have great idea ! Thanx for sharing.

Gonna be making 3 matching sets of rings for me and my wife for Christmas. I'm using purpleheart. Black palm and Brazilian ebony. Can't wait to see how they turn out

Thank you, another great interesting and informative video, I will definitely have a go at this.
Take care

Amazing video. This helps me understand the parts of my dremel so maybe i could put it to more use than just messing with random sticks i find

[spearphishlife]

Your videos are great I'm learning a lot about using a Dremel. It's difficult to some times see things then it goes into the time lapse. If you did 15 seconds at regular speed of using the Dremel with the attachment so newbies like me can see how it's being used that would be awesome.

[josephhemel]

Great video. I like the way you worked through the little glitches you had. Very informative.

[darshinimalukar]

Thankyou, amazing video. Learned alot and thankyou for talking through your process. The bit with the tape was really cool

[kevo]

These are great. I am going to attempt one myself
