You can make an original and interesting ring from an ordinary nut. It will look laconic and brutal, but its cost will be mere pennies. It will only be important to do a good job of processing the original part. Details on how to make a ring from a nut with your own hands are below.

Materials

To work you will need to prepare:

• the nut itself with a diameter suitable for the size of the pin;
• vice;
• burner;
• rasp;
• pliers;
• sandpaper of different grain sizes;
• polishing paste and cloth;
• marker;
• hacksaw

A nut made from of stainless steel, but it can be difficult for a beginner to work with such metal, so you can give preference to products made from softer metals.

Step 1. Before starting work, take the nut with pliers and heat it well with a torch. Then let the nut cool. This simple technique will allow the metal to become more pliable in subsequent work.

Step 2. For ease of operation, clamp the nut in a vice. Using a Dremel machine or other tool suitable for the job, machine the inside surface of the nut where the threads are located. You will need to grind it off completely. Do not hold the tool on one side for a long time so that the thickness of the ring walls remains the same around the entire circumference.

While working, let the nut cool and try the blank for the ring on your finger. At this stage, it should fit fairly tightly into the nut. The diameter of the hole will expand a little more with other manipulations.

Step 3. Take a marker and mark the desired shape of the future ring on the outside of the nut.

Step 4. Place the nut back in the vise and use a hacksaw to cut off any excess according to the marked lines.

Step 5. Treat the cut areas with a rasp or any grinding tool.

Step 6. Nut angles with reverse side Mark and cut the rings, giving them a streamlined, smooth shape.

I've always liked men's rings. There is something special about them. Unfortunately, I can't wear them. Since I work most of my time in a workshop, any gold rings get damaged very quickly. Since the metal is soft, you have to work with everything you can. Therefore, I decided to make myself a ring with my own hands, something that would not be a pity, would look good, and would be as durable as possible. And see for yourself what came of it.

The nut ring turned out to be surprisingly durable. The metal does not rust, shines, and looks very interesting. Massively. In general, what you need.

I used a 16 mm nut as a basis. I also used sandpaper with grit from 200 to 1600 for mirror sanding. Drill. Turbine.

Using the turbine, we cut off the corner from the nut little by little. This is not easy to do. I clamped it in a table vise and then cut/grinded it down a little.

Using a drill, we grind down the internal threads little by little. We grind the surfaces.

The output is a fairly rough ring. We begin to sand the surfaces little by little, from more to less.

The end result is a mirror-like shine. Just what we needed! The ring is ready. As for reliability, it is much better than gold. Many people think it is white gold. Although the truth is much more prosaic. Thank you for your attention.

Necessary materials:

Angle grinder;
a nut, the size of which must match the size of the finger;
Dremel sander;
crepe (painting tape);
sanding paper with grit 220 and 600;
knife with a sharp blade;
file;
table salt solution;
power unit;
varnish;
cotton buds.

Manufacturing instructions

Step 1. You need to grind off the corners of the nut
All safety regulations must be followed when performing this work. The nut must be tightened with pliers and using a grinder, gradually grind off the corners. One surface of the nut should remain
unprocessed.

Step 2. Narrowing the nut
After the corners of the nut have been ground off, you need to proceed to the stage of giving the nut the shape of a ring. This is done gradually, maintaining the symmetry of the sides. When the ring is narrowed enough, it is worth chamfering its edges and refining the shape.

Step 3. Processing the inside of the ring
Using a Dremel, you need to remove the internal threads of the nut. The surface must be treated evenly, maintaining symmetry. Internal chamfers must be made.

Step 4: Sanding the surface of the ring
Use a file to smooth out the grooves from the grinder and grinder. Finish the sanding with sandpaper of different grits. It’s better to start with 220 and finish with 600. With their help, you can achieve the desired smoothness of the future ring.

Step 5. Create a signet imprint design
Absolutely any design can be used as a print. For example, as an option, you can stylize your own initials.

Step 6. Preparing the workpiece for the etching process

To do this, you need to either cover the ring with nail polish or wrap it with masking tape, and then use a fairly sharp knife to cut out the intended image on the surface.

Step 7. Carrying out the electrolysis etching process

The power source can be a regular charger (12 V). The process itself is simple. The only thing is that the smell will be quite unpleasant. The positive wire from the charger should be connected to the ring. A solution should be diluted from salt and a cotton swab should be soaked in it.
It is to its wet side that you need to attach a wire with a negative charge. You will get a kind of stick-electrode, which will need to be passed several times in those places of the ring where you need to etch.
When the etching is finished, you need to disconnect all the wires and remove the tape.
