Description
So, I've started working on the folded ring type, since most of my tools are here, but I just can't get past this point without my steel mandrel! Even so, these are a lot easier and more fun to make than the other type. Anywho, I decided to just buff and polish them out and put them on display! Believe me, they look even better in person cuz they have an almost mirror-like shine. I mean, really, after annealing, a process that helps eliminate cracks, they had this really gross black residue on them that was next to impossible Β to remove, but then I figured out how to buff that off and I was amazed at how they shined! Believe me, I'm doing these coins a favor, cuz they've never looked this good before.Two of these will be for sale: The top, a 1979 Susan B Anthony silver dollar (actually copper and nickel), and the inverted one on the bottom left, a 2002 Ohio state coin! Send me a note if you're interested!

Well, I can either make them into rings by finishing folding them over into a cylinder, or I can do whatLucifer-Poison-Angel suggested and turn them into pendants with a stone setting in the middle!

Yeah! I can't wait to really get started with it! I still don't have all my tools in yet and I still need other supplies, so it might be a while before I can even list my crap! I'll be honest, I think I've really jumped the gun saying my stuff is for sale so soon.

It's been a while, you've probably improved a lot by now.

I keep imagining stones put in the center of these, with maybe something to attach it to a necklace or as ear rings.

Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness. Dude, you are an absolute genius. I already know how I could do that too. But yet again, more tools unless I can use some of my brother's. Seriously, thank you so much for the awesome idea!

All I did was tell you the direction my mind went seeing your works in progress. Had you not made the decision to begin making these, then started posting your progress that thought never would have occurred to me.

I'm Well, I thank God it happened that way cuz otherwise my stuff would have just been a drop in the ocean! You gave me a unique idea, an I literally looked for an hour trying to find if anyone had done something similar, and no one has!

Glad I could help you stand out man. Even if this is just a niche market, it's better to be the king in a niche, than a peasant in any kingdom.
