Ring-making starter kit

Ring-making starter kit – everything you need to make your first rings

Discover the rewarding hobby of ring making with this convenient starter kit. It includes the essential components to make three custom wooden rings, making it an excellent introduction for woodturners looking to expand beyond pen turning. Best of all, these Lifestyle ring cores are designed to be turned using a standard pen mandrel, so no specialized ring-turning mandrel is required.

What is included in the starter kit?

This kit includes:

• 1 × 3 mm Lifestyle stainless steel ring core
• 1 × 5 mm Lifestyle stainless steel ring core
• 1 × 8 mm Lifestyle stainless steel ring core
• 1 × Small ring bushing set (ring sizes 4–7.5)
• 1 × Medium ring bushing set (ring sizes 8–11.5)
• 1 × Large ring bushing set (ring sizes 12–16)

No substitutions. This is a woodworking turning project. You will need to drill, turn, sand, finish and assemble each ring using appropriate woodworking tools and equipment. You are purchasing the components to make three rings, not finished rings.

What tools are required?

To complete these projects, you will need a standard pen mandrel along with your usual woodturning tools and finishing supplies, as well as a set of digital calipers, double-sided tape, drill chuck or collet chuck, a 2" square block of scrap softwood and a live centre. All tooling is sold separately.

Why choose this starter kit?

This bundle is an economical way to try ring making without investing in specialized tooling. It provides a selection of popular ring widths, bushing sets covering most common ring sizes, and wood blanks so you can begin creating custom rings right away.
