The tutorial demonstrates how to use various tools in RhinoGold like the Ring Size Creator, Offset, Extrude, and Flow Crv tools to model a ring shape and place it inside a circle.

The main steps are to define a circle for the ring size, create lines and rectangles to define the shape, use Arc and Auto Connect tools to define the ring shape, use Rectangular Array, Offset, Copy, and Mirror tools to generate multiple rings, use Trim and Auto Connect to finalize the shape, use Extrude to make it a solid, use Extract Surface to remove end surfaces, and use Flow Crv to place inside initial circle.

Arc, Auto Connect, Rectangular Array, Offset, Copy, and Mirror tools are used to define the ring shape.
