Popular Ir Resistor Ble Ring

Make a wooden ring with a resistor "Gem"
For little or no cost

Materials needed
Popular dowel 1 inch or larger
Scrap zebra or any scrap hard wood or you can use antler or horn
Saw
Drill / Dremel
Resistors of different sizes
Super glue
Hot glue gun
Optional
Lathe, oscillating spindle sander

Cut dowel about 3/8 -1/2 inch long / Cut scrap wood to 1.5inch by 1.5 by 1 inch turn on lathe if you are going to use one. Find the best part of the antler , nearer the bottom is harder inside then near the top.
I used my Dremel to sand away the extra Zebra wood

Just what it says , drill a hole as near to center of the dowel as you can

Shape the ring , round and smooth the inside and outside , flatten one side on the outside of the ring for the "Gem"

Use a knife to fine tune the shape of your ring round the inside edges more if needed , use sandpaper if you want to save yourself a cut

This all started when my son found this large resistor and 3 others on something he was tearing apart

Use super glue or hot glue to hold the resistor to the ring ,make sure you cut the wire and bend them to touch the ring , I did drill this one for the wires

Place on your finger and were your new rings , make some for your family , friends and dont forget your girl.

I didn't use a finish on the rings since the oil of your hand will add a finish, you can sand them if you wish, I would start with 100 grit and finish it with 600 grit then a oil of your choice
This can be done on a lathe faster but my shop is a mess and I can't get to my lathe or use my other tools back there
When using power tools or a knife please be careful injuries can happen ....
My shop is somewhere back there
