<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 66996, member: 112&quot;]Morgan - </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s an interesting idea you have there, but I think you&#039;re making it more complicated than it is. Instead of trying to find a bit the exact size - just make a jig that fits around the outside of your router. Then - any size straight bit works&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you could go the traditional way that almost all coin cabinet makers go - make square holes. It&#039;s actually much easier and it works better too. With the square hole, slightly larger than the round object to be placed in it, you can pick the holder up. With holes the same size as the holder - you&#039;ll have a devil of a time getting them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also - you need to do a bit of research before you start building. Most woods contain tanic acid - rather harmful to coins. And the material you use to line the wood - felt, velvet or silk - they can contain chemicals that are harmful too. And there is the glue - this can often be the most harmful. And don&#039;t forget the finish you put on the exterior - yup, more bad stuff for coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I know that none of this is what you wanted to hear - but think what might have happened to your coins if you hadn&#039;t have heard it&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>There is good news though - coin cabinets have been in use by collectors for centuries. And over the years many valuable lessons have been learned. You just need to do a bit of research to find out what those lessons are.
