I'm going to try a few rings and see how it goes. Is anyone turning rings? Thanks, Frank

Thanks.... was going to ask if the cores can be found in an assortment bundle.
The big question...I'm I cheating or reducing the fun/craft of ring turning by using a Taig lathe. A boring bar and cross slide carriage are perfect for this application.

Try it both ways to see...there is no right way.

Who else sells cores and blanks. CSUSA has escalating shipping charges. I tend to avoid ordering if the costs go up with every dollar spent.
I've made a few rings from Corian. No inserts or special tools needed.
Thanks, Glenn - Fine generous info/video, and fine rings!
You've inspired me to give it a shot.
Gratefully, Bob
Can't find a mandrel. All seem to be back ordered. Anyway .... bushings or expandable collets. Or both. Do you use a special chisel after rounding out the blank.
Any comments on this type mandrel. They are available. Thanks.

I just started using that style and really like it. The bushing style limit your ability to get in on the sides and with this style it is not a problem. Got mine from ringsupplies.com because they had a better size range selection.

Those look much better than the one I purchased, can't remember where I got it, but it's not a good one.
Is anyone using the Artisan Ring Turning Scraper. If so comments please. Worth having....waste of money? Thanks..

I hate these things. Ready to toss everything into the lake behind my house.
Hi and thanks. I will contact you. I'm not a fan of the double sided tape system. That has to go. Aside fromOn my third ring turning. I'm patient. Decent at figuring things out....But..............

I did, too, at first. Took a little figuring things out using the ring cores, but now I have it down to a process. happy to discuss. Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like. Also, on my FB page, you can find a number of posts for rings I have done, including some in progress shots and a video or two. I basically follow Craft USA's process, with some modifications. Such as using a narrow chisel to open up the hole to size vice a narrow scraper.
I hope that helps.
Thank you. How does that boring bar work on a spindle lathe.JDG at CraftSupply, is JD Gautier. He supplies other accessories for ring making, that aren't carried by CS. Some really cool blanks as well as a boring bar setp for a morse taper.

Thanks...Bob...It'll be ok....I used acrylic.Nice ring, Frank! - keep it out of the lake.
Thanks Bob. The 3M gray bonding tape is the wrong application. Would give a little and broke loose once. I'm ordering the carpet tape.Frank - I use this double sided carpet tape:
