"How did you do that?"
That is always the reaction I get to any turned item that I make that has Captive Rings on it!! It never fails!!
So, the question is, "How did they do that?"... check out these projects to see how to make captive rings and start adding them to any spindle turning that you make for that very same reaction!!
I've seen them on goblets, bottle stoppers, children toys, and even pens. What can you add them to?

This protective project mat is made from heat-resistant, easy-to-clean silicone, meaning wet glue rinses off and dried glue peels off. Use it anywhere you want to protect your work surface or your project, whether in the garage, shop or on the dining room table. Since it's heat-resistant, it works well as a protective barrier for hot glue guns. The material is very soft, and one side has a textured surface to trap debris that could scratch or dent your project.
