Making a Steampunk Bent Wood Ring

Making a steampunk bent wood ring with old watch parts and exotic wood.  My latest video shows the process I use to make rings professionally for my Etsy customers.

I know your thinking that if Pinnochio made and Etsy shop with Howl’s Moving Castle this is probably the type of stuff that they would sell, but I’ll be giving this little ripper away at the Maker’s Central Exhibition in Birmingham on the 5-6th of May 2018.

Makers Central Giveaway

Not only will there be loads of things to do and see, makers from all over the world to meet and greet including some of YouTubes finest woodworkers, makers and DIYers but Makers Central will be holding a prize draw throughout the weekend.  Tickets are just £1 and 50% of the proceeds will go to Cancer Research.

For the opportunity to win this awesome little ring as well as meeting some of the biggest names in YouTube DIY check out the website: www.MakersCentral.co.uk to buy your tickets. Hopefully I’ll see you in Birmingham in May!

This project started with a big bag of broken watch movements that has been in my cupboard for about 4 years! They were given to me by my friend Doug who had them for 2 years … so after six years decided it was time to turn this trash into treasure!

Armed with a bag of broken watches, some wood veneer and a boat load of superglue I settled in to make a wooden ring with with a watch parts inlay.

These rings are available to buy in my Etsy shop that you can find here: Steampunk Rings

 

Thank you as always for watching, I hope you enjoy the video as I worked hard on it, and come give me a high five if you see me at the show!  Big love, Dan
