One Woodturning to Rule Them All !

I used maple and curly maple veneer. Took 53 hours to make.
I originally wanted to make the outside curved, like a true ring, but I couldn't make the veneer compliant enough. That's why in a few shots, you can see the exterior is curved.
I'm also not super happy about my staining job. It was my first time using one.
Maybe one day I will make version two, with a more uniform grain and if possible no visible glue seems.

Before you write your comment saying the inscriptions are upside down, go rewatch the freaking films. Or do a simple google image search if you don't have 10 hours to spare.
To the rest of you with your kind comments, I can't respond to everyone but THANK YOU. I appreciate it.

[OlivierGomis]

I was originally going to put it for sale, but after all, why should I part ways with it ? It's mine, my own, my precious...

I’d like to personally thank whoever the first person was that put a tool in this young man’s hands, he did the world a huge service!

[TomsDIYShop]

At first, I was like "Why in the world would he cover up all of that intricate router work?!?!?" But then I saw where you were going with this once the LED's and inner panels were put in place and was BLOWN AWAY!! Excellent work, patience, and creativity!!

[VeretenoVids]

I know this is an older video, but I just cannot leave without a comment. The fact that you did all the script with a handheld router has officially blown my mind! I know you have great talent, but this one is absolutely amazing!

When you turned the lights on and it started showing through the veneer, I felt an actual shiver run down my spine!! That ring is perfect, My Precious 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[WalterNoest]

Speaking as a professional joiner/ interior maker. I love the tricks Olivier pulls to realize his projects. Turning with two face plates, to be able access your work from both sides, making proper jigs for specific tasks etc. Really makes him stand out from the ordinary woodturners all over youtube 👍

Utterly brilliant. The Celebrimbor of woodworking has revealed himself.

[VeljkoZivkovic]

watching woodworking videos for years and I have to say, this is BY FAR the best thing I ever saw! I don't have any machine, any tool, but I'm in love with woodworking.
I'm stunned at how this piece looks. Just wow! Regards from Serbia, my bro.

[ClintsHobbiesDIY]

A jaw dropping moment when you turned it on.
You have great skills and the patience to match.
Wonderful equipment also.

[Dilldough.]

The inner nerd in me has never been so stimulated! The fact that you routed that by hand is mind boggling, I can’t write my name without looking like I have Parkinson’s.

[AutumnK]

One does not simply find the words to describe how stunning this is! You, Sir, are the one woodturner to rule them all.

WE WANTS IT! WE WANTS THE PRECIOUS!!

Seriously, that looks so cool.

[yolanda]

For some reason, seeing all the wood shavings pile up is extremely satisfying to watch lol

[calebcarty]

Literally the best thing I’ve seen made out of wood.

"Nous jurons de servir le maître du précieux. Nous jurerons sur le… sur le précieux."
Changement de rythme exceptionnel Monsieur Olivier. Encore un ouvrage de Maîtrise. 53 heures d'attention à chaque détail. . . réduit à 15 minutes de plaisir visuel. Oui, amusant. J'aspire à acquérir les compétences de maîtrise pour fabriquer un jour un collier hawaïen de copeaux de bois. Merci d'avoir partagé.

[GibbonInAmerica]

I'm just speechless. Well done, young man.

[NiftyMCD_Australia]

I can hear Gollum hissing in the background 'MY PRECIOUS, MINE!!'

As I am commenting, this video is already a year old. Yet, I am seeing it for the first time.
Looking at the thumbnail it looked as though it might be just a straightforward piece. But, as I watched, I realized you had anything but straightforward in mind. This was such an amazing concept. I was trying to figure out your idea as you went. But that was impossible. You put a lot of careful and meticulous planning into this project. When you turned on the switch and the Elven inscription began glowing nearly identical to the video graphics of the movie, my jaw dropped. I literally said, "WOW! WOW!", as I watched the illumination. I'm completely and utterly blown away by this project. Such an amazing creation, from conception to completion.

I was originally thinking "The title of this video is making a pretty bold statement"... but after watching it... I'm inclined to agree. Awesome skills for such a young man.
