Ring Supplies.com

Ring Supplies.com is a terrific website, and they sell something that is very important to new ring makers, which is the mandrel. If you want to use power to aid in making your rings, then you need to get a good ring mandrel.

The nice thing about a ring mandrel, is that it allows you to free up both hands, and work on the ring. The addition of power makes the process smoother, and the rings turn out more uniform and consistent.

On top of mandrels, they also have two piece ring cores, solid cores, and blanks that are really amazing to see. I recommend getting a couple of the two piece cores on top of your mandrel, and you will have a lot of fun stuff to work with from that one simple purchase.

Etsy for Ring Supplies

Etsy is a place for selling handmade items. There are also a lot of woodworkers on Etsy, and they sell a lot of stuff for ring making. This is great for a lot of reasons, but the number one reason is they are just like you.

In most cases, the person you are dealing with is just like you. They are a maker themselves, and they understand the craft. If they are selling a wood ring blank, then you can be assured that the blank is suited for the task.

You can also contact the sellers directly to ask questions. This is a huge advantage, and it means you will understand what you are buying a lot more than buying blind. If you need something unique for a wedding ring, this is a good place to look.

Use eBay for Unique Ring Making Items

Last but not least is eBay. This is an online auction house made up of regular people that have something they want to sell. This is the place to get really unique items, because most stores carry things that appeal to everyone.

Stores have to pay a lot of bills. They won’t carry really unique item in small quantities because they have to know they can sell what they have to keep their doors open. This is great for the seller, but not the most open marketplace for the buyer.

The eBay community is different. If someone has an antique Cherry log from their fathers old cabin that they want to sell, you can buy it. There may only be a few of those in the world, but you can buy one.

This is the magic of eBay. There are also small lots of wood you can buy, unique woods, special woods, and even more handmade materials. A lot of individual makers create their blanks and sell them on eBay.

It’s the first place someone brand new in the market can go to sell without a huge price burden, so that’s where a lot of makers go. Who knows, you might end up buying from the next mega giant woodworking company while they are still a small competitor.
