what happens to the silver that gets "spooned" out? or doesn't it work that way? just wondering if people save the silver scrap..
that's the only thing keeping me from wanting to drill a hole in it, panda, haha I don't want to waste it
Heres a link for step by step instructions for all of you. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Ring-from-a-Silver-Coin Hope this helps!
Alright guys. Ive finished the hammering and this is what i have I am going out to sand the surface and drill the hole now. i will post pics of how. NOTE: I found it easiest to use an 8oz ball peen hammer on a vice. Went remarkably fast
I've got it down to where all of "In God We Trust" is on the inside of the little lip that forms, maybe a little more. Without checking I'd say it is the size of a quarter
Nice man. This is the next step You start drilling a hole in the coin and let it bind up. I then took a sheet of 600 grit sandpaper and just spun the coin on it untill the marks were gone. Then drill the hole. ( VERY hard to do. Use a vice) And i then used a dremel tool with sanding drums to sand down the inside. Then Bingo A RING!
Great looking ring! How does it look close-up? I think this may be the first coin ring made on this forum, way to go!!
Anyone here ever try coin cutting? http://homepage.mac.com/johnhuber/CoinRing/PhotoAlbum34.html I have wanted to give it a try for a long time.
i am going to do this. i have very few silver quarters around, i stupidly sold $150 worth, i did get spot though. i guess i got to go pick them up from the box. i want to make one for me and one for my girl. she got real little fingers, she wears a size 5 ring. i may need to use a mercury dime!
