Me too.

[@1234attie1]

Absolutely fantastic! I have recently started making coin rings and your videos (and dies from Jason’s works) really helped me to create great masterpieces from the word go. Very impressed how your “jewellery making skills” has developed from coin rings to full on jewellery manufacturing from melting down all the way to a finished product. Never going to sell my silver shavings, keeping it for when I get to this skill level and tool wish list!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Right on thanks! Coin rings are the gateway drug of the jewelry world I have discovered :)

[@Mikkelltheimmortal]

One of my favourite things about working with silver and gold is that it's easy to reform into ingots when you screw up 😅

[@crystalgriffith1075]

The lace one was out of this world beautiful. I wonder how it would look using some lace off of a wedding dress or veil? Plus I wouldn't want mine darkened either.

WOW what an amazing video i didn't know that's how you put texture patterns on rings. I find so much old silver rings on beaches and in water I'm really considering to melt them all down to make new ones like you.

Hi from Egypt

[@junepaul7843]

change you can wear i would love to send you pics of my work and the very rudimentary tools i use. i pride myself on how few tools i use and how quick i can produce one. i use a stove to anneal, welder pick, claw hammer, needle nose plyers, screwdriver, socket, chainsaw file, flat file, sandpaper and a buffing wheel on a bench grinder. i do it seated on my couch at my coffee table i can do one in about an hour and half and it keeps the kids amazed. my daughters friends acted like i did magic like couldnt believe a human could do that. i make beautiful rings from nothing. i pick up culled silver quarters at my local flea market 3 for $10 i only make them for female family or close friends. i made me and my wifes wedding rings i learned to make them for my wife. it was for her i started

Scrap to jewel!

[@RockyMountainBear]

Everytime I come back to your channel you got some fancy new toy you're playing with. I need to step up my game, if only to get me the same quality of big boy toys. What kind of silver solder do you use. I ordered some in a pack of easy, medium & hard. I am pretty sure I got screwed. It isn't solder. The silver started melting, and the "solder" hasn't changed other than some blackening that scraped off easily using my finger nail. I need a local buddy who knows what he's doing to help me when I'm being ... less than genius.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

It sounds like you might have oxidized your solder. It is best to heat it to melting quickly before it oxidizes. I used easy on these rings.

[@Vatsek]

Nice work.

[@KathyDurbin]

Awesome My new friend. Have a very Merry Christmas.

[@LeMoisturizer]

Today my mother gave me a collection of rare silver coins as well as some other collections of coins and it made me think of this channel so I came back here

[@martin11844]

save thme man your mother treasured those coins as any coin collectors would if you want a ring please use the ones that you have doubled or even better tripled

[@LeMoisturizer]

martin11844 I don’t plan on making rings out of them or selling them, this collection of coins has probably inspired me to start a new hobby of collecting and treasuring more coins.

Great video! I made a ring on a jewellery course out of a £2 strip of Silver. I was surprised how little the raw material was for a ring that would retail at least 10x the price even for a mass manufactured one were they probably have a machine churning out thousands, not a custom hand made piece...

Well done,,,👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@NB-ky5ol]

This is my suggestion, as someone who is unfamiliar with metal working and is watching purely because I enjoy watching craftsmanship, if you could put text up that explains what you’re using or why you’re doing a certain process it would be offer people like me a more interesting experience.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

I have tons of older videos that walk through different aspects of it. Doing that on every video muddles up the videos and makes them much less popular.

Nice design new friend

[@junepaul7843]

i make coin rings in my lap with a welders pic as a mandrel. i use a claw hammer to punch a screwdriver thru a quarter after i anneal on stove. i use chainsaw sharpener to open hole to fit welder pick. then hammer coin down onto pick slowly working edge over and anneal often. then you have rough silver cylinder and you flat file until good form then use 120grit/ect. up to 1200/ 1600 wet sanding. then only electric tool i use is to polish on wheel. i learn so i make me and wife wedding rings.

[@dawndeluca]

Hi from Australia. 🦘 I'm a newbie metalsmith and loved your video, especially the texture hammers as I can't afford a rolling mill just yet. I would like to know what the blue handled tool you were running around the inside of the ring is and what it does. Thanks 👍

[@cigardude64]

Great video Skyler. You are the reason I started making rings a little over a year ago and i enjoy it immensely. How would I get a list of the tools in the video? I searched for the torch but couldn't find it. Where did you get the mold for the silver and the crucible? I found the 6 piece hammer set on Ebay. I will also be ordering the mill for from Pepe tools (a little more expensive than I was hoping lol). I'm going to make a trek to the west one day just to meet you and Jason ;) Thanks for what you do.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

I really need to update my tool list video. I got the torch from euro tools and the infotainment mold from rio grande. But to be honest, you could order both from rio grande. Good luck getting deeper into it. It is a fun journey for sure!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

*Ingot mold :)

Sorry to ask so many questions but what was that puddy looking stuff you cleaned the inside of the band with and if you had to buy a less expensive roller, which would you go with?

[@patrickpeoples1359]

How do you keep the solder lines from pitting? I am an apprentice jeweler that does some custom work in my spare time and I find that after high polishing my work I get pits along the solder joints.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

That is a good question. I can't remember seeing them unless I use too much solder. But I am not sure to be honest.
