Making a ring for Ava (Patreon)

Hi guys 

As most of you might have seen last weekend, I proposed to Ava. She got two rings a traditional diamond engagement ring and a teak/carbon fiber ring made out of Athena's old deck. This video covers my initial experiments with vacuum infusion and the construction of the ring. I wanted to make something while playing around with vacuum infusion and a ring for my bride-to-be seemed like the perfect idea. I'll post some photos of the teak ring later today. It turned out pretty dang spiffy! 

Originally I wanted to include a little magic trick in this video where I turned the teak ring into the diamond ring, but we've been too busy with Ava's parents here for us to find the time. Ava's parents are lovely and even though I was slightly nervous about asking her dad for his daughter's hand in marriage the very first time I met them it all went perfect :) 

I have another week here in the US before heading back to Denmark. No doubt it'll be hard to leave! Fortunately, Ava will be flying out in late May to lend a hand aboard our future home (Athena).

We're going to head in and have breakfast with my to-be inlaws :D I hope all of you guys will have an awesome Sunday!
