[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 4326522, member: 15588"]I took a Summer Seminar mini-course on making hammered coins a few years ago. It was an amazing course and nothing that could probably ever get taught online. Here are some pictures I took from the course. Everyone had a work station with a bisected bowling ball. The hole in the ball's center held the die for punching. A hammer and some punches can be seen at the lower left. It worked amazingly well. We even made one of our own punches with a grinder. It was a very hands on course. [ATTACH=full]1098394[/ATTACH] And then we had the privilege of hammering the dies into a variety of metals: aluminum, silver and even billon. [ATTACH=full]1098392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1098393[/ATTACH] It was difficult but fascinating. Well worth the trip and the effort.[/QUOTE]
