Hello, and welcome to Instructables! I have realized that you did not receive a greeting from ewilhelm (Eric) or the Instructables Robot, so here you go! I do NOT work for Instructables, but I give out greetings once in a while.
Welcome, and just have fun at Instructables.
If you have any questions, you can contact the Instructables staff. If you do not know who they are, you can check them out here. Just click on one of the accounts at the link I just gave you (somebody in the Instructables Team/ Interns/ Advisors) and ask them in a private message or comment.
I am trying to make a ring for my girlfriend out of wood directly from the tree and I cut my hand 4 times. ( I'm not blaming you.) It is kind hard but I'm trying my best. But dude you are a great man for posting those instructions. Thank you, bobbyk881
You could probably do most of this with just a few different size sharp knives, that just means a little more danger. If you aways remember to cut away from yourself you'll minimize the cuts. I have to say though, my thumbs are wrecked from the number of times I've cut them :) Also Christmas is coming, you can always hint that you "desperately need" a Dremel tool :)
I am trying to cut the wood with a hand saw and a Dremel. I wish the wood wouldn't crack. But at least I have the same size wood. I think I need a table saw to cut my wood because it takes so long to cut with a hand saw and a dremel. Oh how do you cut the inside out? Thank you, Bobbyk881
I actually just use the largest drill bit that I have to drill out the center hole. Then I use the Dremel with a round grinding bit to make it the right size. If you're using a saw with a replaceable blade you may need a new one if it's that hard. A good blade should go through a tree branch pretty quick.
I think the branch is still a little green. I just found out that I have a ban saw that I may use that to cut the wood. This weekend I might go to Home Depot and get a larger bit. The type of saw I am using is one of those multi purpose tool saws. It takes me hours to cut the wood but thank god I found out that I have a ban saw. Oh what size is you largest bit for the Dremel? Thank you, Bobbyk881
I actually use a regular drill with a 1 1/2" bit for the center hole, but I think i'm going to get something bigger because it takes me a long time to get that hole big enough
