The One Ring to Rule Them All

Check out the YouTube video below where Patrick Adair reforges the one ring to rule them all. 

Of course, the inspiration comes from the blockbuster movie Lord of the Rings. Duh!

An example of enchanting craftsmanship. It’s a beautiful gold ring which he makes and then inscribes using computer-assisted laser. Afterward, he fills in the etchings with fluorescent powder for a really cool effect under UV light.

 

Let's look at the steps taken to make the One Ring.

The whole process starts by machining a copy of the ring out of wax on a lathe. The wax is then used to create a plaster mold that is cured in a furnace. Thereupon, he melts gold and pours it into the mold. This makes a solid gold ring. 

He engraves the ring – in fact, I love how the laser etching actually looks like magic forging the letters! 

The last step is when he fills the ring with glow powder to make a glow ring. 

And he didn't even have to go to Mount Doom! Epic cool!

Note: Patrick Adair and his Patrick Adair Designs specialize in rings made of materials like carbon fiber, titanium, and other random rare materials.
