Title: Made this for my GF
Post by: Rubber on January 30, 2014, 00:56
I made this ring for my girlfriend for Valentine's day. It is made out of steel (this is just a test ring) on a lathe. The real ring will be made of titanium so it is really strong and won't rust. It is blue and purple with silver grooves cut in it. I did the coloring with a torch (it is not paint). The silver thing in the first picture is a collet I made to hold it in the lathe. The last image is the best to see the real color of it.

Something made by yourself is worth 1000 times more than any diamond.

But going to the effort and making it yourself shows initiative, instead of going to the shop and buying something that someone else designed and made.
It depends on if Rubbers girlfriend is a fancy rich girl, or someone who appreciates what someone did. Or something, dont quote me on that, 1 girlfriend in 19 years is nothing to be proud of.

Shes not the rich fancy type. She would rather have things made than bought. She likes guns too...so that's a major plus.
