Making a Pro Coin Ring Without Expensive Tools

Very cool. I tried it with a dollar bill but after the annealing process, it was just ashes. Your way is better.

[@foreveryoung7582]

He annealed it wrong, you have to wait for the metal to cool down. This makes it actually soft and playable. What he did was quenching in water, which in essence just makes the metal harder.

A few years ago I made a ring for my mom out of a quarter just by rolling across my fab table and tapping it with a hammer around the edge for a while, drilled and shaped the hole and polished it on a bench grinder buffing wheel, turned out nice. Might have to give this method a shot!

[@jasonking1504]

Rings look amazing! I'm not 100 percent sure but i believe annealing is the process of heating metal and cooling slowly. Quenching hot metal hardens the metal and makes it more brittle.

[@rockyblacksmith]

Well, you're half right. The way you describe it is how it works for steel. For silver, as well as for copper, the annealing process works just as well whether you cool it slowly or quickly. The way annealing works is that the cristalline structure of the atoms is "relaxed" through the heat, and dislocated atoms (which otherwise lead to hardness) align themselves into the structure. In the case of steel and other ferrous metals, the structure (or "phase") they take on at high temperature is a different one than they have at room temperature. A slow cooling process allows it to transition from one to the other (thus having a nice, aligned and soft structure), while a quick quench "freezes" the "wrong" cristalline structure in place, leading to tension in the metal and thus hardness. I presume that silver takes on the same structure anywhere below it's melting point, so rapidly cooling down just keeps the softer, realigned structure in place. Though that last part is an educated guess, as an engineer I can talk a lot about steel, but didn't learn much about precious metals.

[@ronmcqueen4284]

@@rockyblacksmith Not doing any research and shooting from the hip I feel then if the quench does nothing other than cool it down then wouldn't it be better to allow it to slowly cool and start working it while it still has some heat because I feel whatever potential for distortion you would encounter would easily be compensated for with a softer mallet/strikes which could potentially reduce the overall distortion compared to working it cold but if nothing else allow for greater precision with the material while requiring less energy and preventing fatigue from causing certain mistakes.

[@rockyblacksmith]

@@ronmcqueen4284 Working the metal while it's hot would require less force, true. But that is offset by the fact that handling a hot piece of metal is far more cumbersome than handling it at room temperature. And having worked with silver since writing my previous comment, I can tell you it's pretty soft as is, so there is no real need for working it hot.

[@Aผู้บังคับลม]

I did the same thing as you, drilled a 10mm hole and sanded it with sandpaper. Do not use a hydraulic press. Because I do it myself, inch by inch. It's a unique ring. Thank you, your work is an inspiration.

You don't anneal metal by quenching in water you just locked the hardness by doing that. It has to be cooled slowly. You harden metal by increasing the temp to the proper heat you need for a particular hardness then quench it in oil, etc. cooling it quickly locking the crystalline structure vs letting it realign slowly.

Everyone is making coin rings with these ring tools that press the coin instead of the old fashioned way of just using a spoon. I have made several coin rings using just a common table spoon. It requires a silver coin and there will not be any of the original coin image left on the outside though. This method was the way people made wedding bands in the old days. You just tap the edge of a silver coin with the spoon. It will slowly bend the silver and when you get it to the width you want, you drill out e middle and polish it. It takes a long time, but you only need a spoon and a drill.

Kormatoes I have used a chasing hammer to make it go faster, but it is difficult to keep it round and even.

[@jonathancampbell5523]

Robert Butcher There are advantages to using the spoon method: 1) It is an incredibly annoying and passive aggressive way of driving a roommate crazy 2) It is the only way to get the words from both sides of the coin to appear on the inside of the ring. 3) Other than drilling out the middle, it requires no tools except a spoon. 4) It is a labor of love just from the sheer amount of time spent tapping the coin and shaping it. 5) The smooth outside can be engraved and the inner portion between the words of the coin can be engraved. Of course the disadvantages would be 1) It is incredibly annoying to tap the coin for months 2) It isn’t feasible to make a ring this way for profit.

Found an alternative to the wood block method for clamping, 1/4 pipe union. Have to modify the part that fits against the piece that screws in to the nut. You have to file down that dome so you get a flat surface, then cut the remaining pipe off of it. To secure it either with a vise or a hobby vise. If you do go with a larger vise you need the wood for it to sit on. Even a drill press vise will work. The union will accept a step bit btw.

[@redratcrawford]

Once you modified the union it'll accept any coin the size of an American quarter. You can also shove a piece of pex pipe as a shim for the smaller step bit. Tho that will need to be drilled out. I think it was 1/2 i used in my jig. It'll do a decent job of centering your coin tho you'll have to guide it a bit to make sure. Anyways it worked for me, drill your pilot hole then bring in your step bit to reduce chance of it spinning.

[@redratcrawford]

Since the union comes in copper, larger ones in brass. It shouldn't marr your coin. Still experimenting and transferring it to the larger 3/4 one. The 3/4 union shouldn't need much modifying outside of filing down the dome as was done on the 1/4 union. A large flat washer should remedy the larger space on that piece that was filed down. I think fitting pex pipe fittings inside one another should remedy that large hole you're left with. Steel flat washer and a piece of leather should work as well.

This holds true no matter what rotation the coin is in. So if you rotate the coin you make a lot of little marks at precisely that distance between the edge of the coin in the center of the coin.

Are you kidding me, I'm about to make a forge shop from tools I'm buying from pawn shops. So if people really want to they can.

[@rlcoinrings2120]

I am patiently waiting on the video to make them larger with minimal expensive tools. I like the straight walls so anything you’re gonna use to straighten walls, if you do, I’m interested. Thinking about cutting my mandrel into 2-3” sections. Might just work. Maybe👍

[@RIPPER334]

So... You pretty much failed at making a ring without specialized tools.

[@DanKoning777]

Expensive vs specialized....umm; okay class, whoever finds the difference 1st gets a smiley face sticker...go!

[@RIPPER334]

@@DanKoning777 yeah... But since he used a specialized, AND (his words) expensive die at the end of the video to size the goddamn thing... You... can go fuck your hat. 👍

[@FIVEFIVEFIVE-v1p]

Awesome! I think I can do this with what I have at home, I'm going to give it a shot.

Way to make a ring that would only fit a 10 year old girl

What size should I drill the hole?

[@michaelmartin9336]

i have been looking for a hobby to start putting my free time in and found one of your videos out of the blue and have been watching all your videos for about a week now and just bought a few tools from amozon and jasons work and look forward to pursuing this great craft just wanted to say thanks for being so informative and im subbing to your channel looking forward to seeing more of your videos and starting my own rings

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Right on I'm glad you are getting value out of the videos!

[@grumpyiwegianpodcast3505]

You sure made that look easier than it is! Lol Nice Work!

[@elliegrodnick35]

What kinda drill attachment did u use and we’re can u get it?

[@Bentleemedia]

But does it turn your finger green?

[@fatterperdurabo42069]

No, you'd have to make it out of paper money for it to do that

[@نيوتن-ف3ط]

What is the name of the first piece? please answer💡✌ we are waiting 🙄🙄🙄

[@jgarr9216]

doesn't water quenching after heating harden the metal? Is it better to air cool ?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

It would for ferrous metal but doesn’t matter for non ferrous metals like gold silver and copper.

[@spamuel98]

lol, love the clear Bobby Duke inspiration!

[@markdoehrman5134]

Curious to why you quenched right after making it annealed if you wanted it softer?

[@AmongUs-vj1ew]

It’s still hot enough probably so it’s not way too hot so it’s not hard to work with

[@johnthefox6239]

Any suggestions for someone who wears size 13 to 14 rings?

[@johnthefox6239]

@Dan Hester thanks!

[@ronalves9118]

Yes great ring. My question is don't the clad quarters turn your finger green after wearing. So how do you treat the ring so your finger does not turn green? Thank you

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Yes they do. The best way to avoid it is to use silver coinage.

[@ronalves9118]

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint Thank you, Or I guess I can get out my powder coating equipment thank you

[@emadkamel8783]

How can I make the ring using the center point of the coin?

[@waynecreech]

Thanks, this is great for new people wanting to see how they like it with a lot less investment.
