Using the xTool MetalFab to cut 6mm titanium plate, I shaped, sanded, machined, and polished each ring by hand while experimenting with laser-cutting settings, lead-in lines, and lathe cleanup. This unusual tradition started as a fun idea but has grown into a creative ritual that teaches me something new every year. ★ TOOLS / SUPPLIES ★ Mini Lathe: https://bit.ly/3qUAvV3 Ring Mandrel: https://bit.ly/43CGsse Deburring Tool: https://amzn.to/3LKKs3R Veneer Saw: https://amzn.to/3XmbKAd Lathe: https://amzn.to/3NhYojR CA Glue (Provided by Total Boat): https://bit.ly/3w7xcyE UV Epoxy: https://bit.ly/4ieLIsc Calipers: https://amzn.to/45X6nuT Hand Drill: https://amzn.to/37Ca4fx ★ ALL THE LINKS ★ Patreon Support: http://patreon.com/picciuto Books: https://makesomething.com Music: https://bit.ly/3LIEVux Making It Podcast: http://makingitpodcast.com
