Depending on my project I sometimes cut rings on this handy lathe. It’s a tool from Matt (swear this isn’t an advertisement 😂) you can quickly cut the inner diameter and outside diameter and also round the edge or square them in minutes! The only downside is it comes with no instructions 🤦🏼‍♀️ I made a few educational YouTube videos but I’m no expert! Anyone else have lathe experience with jewelry making? #metalsmithsociety #waxcarving #lostwaxprocess #makingaweddingband #lostwaxmethod #jewelrystudent #waxcarvingtechniques #jewelrymakingtechniques
