[@terryswails1191]

As always, another great video, packed full of great and useful information, thank you Skylar, at almost 70 years old you're teaching me a lot.

[@654rebel]

These guys just keep coming up with great tools.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Rick Bricker No doubt!

[@darwin5763]

I'm sorry but this is another one of those ideas that you scratcher ahead and say how come I didn't think of this. this so simple yet brilliant! thank you! looks like he sold out. hope he makes more soon would love to buy a set.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+darwin5763 Yeah they are really neat!

[@efman2k3]

Great video and review. Thanks for posting!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+efman2k3 Thanks for that!

[@johnlear6328]

These are great, just made a few for myself, I also use different size hardwood dowels i make on my wood lathe which work great too actually. I find metal push rods can scratch the inside of the dies if you happen to get off center a bit and not notice.

[@TheHaelix]

ebay has nylon bar stock at short lengths very cheap. the possibilities are endless.

[@johnlear6328]

Great idea, hard wood dowels works but do wear out faster then i like,going to look at those nylon bars, thanks!

[@wincharter1]

Yep,good job Skyler, thanks.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+wincharter1 Thanks!

[@frankkelly1433]

the world of gadgets to make things better. thank you for the information..

[@dakotarich024]

Great Video. Love the swiss music!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Franzes Spray Haha it is actually Russian but it was too funny to leave out :)

[@jimpetriko1435]

Great Tool. Thanks Skyler.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Jim Petriko You are welcome!

[@papajoe529]

Great video. I'm just starting to do SW method. When doing so, do you always want to push through and out of the bottom or are there times that you stop when it's flush with the bottom?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+papajoe529 I almost always stop when it is flush and move to the next smaller die now. It can be damaging to the coin by pushing it through the bottom.

[@larrymcnamara5518]

Very good Skyler!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Larry McNamara Thanks!

[@fencekid]

Love these things!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+fencekid Right!? I would be sad making a ring without them.

[@user-iz7sv1px8f]

Hello, I would like to ask how much the internal angle of the mold is？

[@beareyal4580]

nice work buddy , i made same tool Thanks for the vid

[@scottlay2970]

great idea just made myself one

[@davekimbler2308]

Is 7 degrees a common angle for Swedish dies ? Is it 7 all the way through ? I made a silver dollar punch with 1/2” cutter and would like to make a Swedish die , one for quarters and one for halves and maybe one for nickels to make bells .

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Mine are 5 degrees

[@davekimbler2308]

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint good to know ! Thank you ! Are they about 2” tall , that’s what I’m guessing .

[@evildoer228]

I use a dry paper towel. I lube the inner walls with Pam cooking spray which is super slippery.

[@TheHaelix]

if Im not mistaken Pam contains water. try STP oil treatment, a $2 bottle will last you years, and your tools will never rust. it requires half the force to press, and often the teflon stays in place. its thick like honey, clear. the downside is it lets grit to stick to so you must wipe down often. I also use it in the compression dies, reduces friction big time.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+matt bennett good tip Matt!

[@jeepnjo6]

The music video made this video. Awesome!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Jody Nash ok thanks?

[@garyfaulk9802]

Automotive gasket material might work good for that paper ring you made out of a notebook.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Gary Faulk You are right that probably would work great. Thanks for the tip!

[@papajoe529]

I went to the link that you have posed to purchase the coin ring push followers and it seems that they are no longer available or not listed for some reason. I was really looking forward to purchasing them. Any advise?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+papajoe529 Yes Ross worked with Jason to make a new improved version. You can find them at jasonsworks.com

[@MrGuillada]

Perfect tool, please where can I buy the larger and small pushers and die? and how much it cost?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Guillermo Villada Cardona You can get the dies from jasonsworks.com.

[@ronnewton606]

sry, im not clear.. do you sell the tools/dies you use to make coin rings ?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

I don't but you can get most everything from www.jasons.works

[@sp1d3yman24]

how /when is that ring sized?

[@robertcairns3528]

great idea,aand time saver.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+robert cairns Thanks!

[@erthompson22]

Skylar I have a question. every time I use my harbor freight punch set with my 6 ton press it bends the coin a bit. how do I fix this

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Ryne Thompson how is it bending the coin? The main possibility would be by using the punch upside down. By using the flat end of the punch instead of the beveled you can avoid bending the coin.

[@erthompson22]

it's bending it a Lil bit after the punch ok I'm using the beveled side I'll try other. also.my press arm is off level just a Lil would that affect it

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Ryne Thompson it is really important to have the press level but the main issue is most likely using the punch upside down.

[@erthompson22]

ok I'll try that thank you. if I have more questions I'll get back to you.

[@Ken_Dalton]

I don't If your Ireland trip is canceled, but I wanted to tell u what we all just found out, they set out an opening date. Every two weeks from tomorrow will different stage of opening the country, an finishing up with bars, restaurants an hotels all be opened by August 10th.! So really just wanted to let u know bcoz unless u followed Irish news u probably would not know what was happening.! 😉 I'll keep u posted tho, but they are very positive.. Our curve has completely flattened an we got a handle on this covid stuff thank God! 🙏 Take care Tyler, just said I'd let u know..

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Wow that is great news! I have been really hoping that we would still be able to go.

[@Ken_Dalton]

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint I'd be the same if I had a holiday planned I'd wanna know too, so I knew from Chattin I should let u know! 😉. Yeah it's great news, I can try get a copy of the plan of action from the government of the stages of opening, but they seem confident so we are all chuffed to see an end date to all this 😊 I have other friends if mine comin to Ireland from Florida in August with her husband an kid so I had to let them know too,. Doin my bit for Ireland/US relations eh? 😂

[@b-smiley4332]

Oh yeah I forgot to add, I really liked the Russian music. I hope you incorporate more foreign music into your videos from now on. like you could throw some old Chinese music in there, you know the one, with the lady singing all high pitched and the slow band in the background. you know.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

I dont know that one but is sounds good lol

[@mikerussell6212]

Have you ever tried those pushers with 17 degree dies? Thanks😇

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

They would probably break because of the extra force needed.

[@b-smiley4332]

yeah OSHA don't mess around haha well to each their own I just made one gonna give it a shot as always keep doing what ur doin

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+b-smiley good deal. Thanks for bringing it up though! That is the good thing about youtube. You get way more eyes on a problem and then way more solutions also.

[@b-smiley4332]

yea I'm trying to get in there im just broke. father of three I don't have much spending money after them. but I'm getting there! thanks for all the inspiration brotha

[@48wilber]

kinda bummed,,,, no swedish jams while you did the second teflon wrap!! but as always,, great video, very informative..

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Trevor Clapsadle Haha! Thanks:)

[@gabrielcornea9119]

Vitas is Russian, not Swedish

[@buzzsah]

Not bad if it holds up

[@rexfifield7311]

Where do I find that hilarious dance video

[@SamSamuylik]

That "Swedish Jam" isnt Swedish, it's a Russian song called VITAS

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Lol yep but it was funny to call them swedish.

[@henrypadilla3410]

Where do I buy the large Swedish die .

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Enrique Padilla You can get those at jasonsworks.com

[@henrypadilla3410]

Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear what size is it thank for the information new in to ring makings

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Enrique Padilla the large one is the 1.0 - 1.4

[@jimb1723]

the singer is called "vitas" and comes from ukraine ;-)

[@randyhunt7585]

couldnt you just stack the brass plungers?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Randy Hunt Yes you can. But then you need to take the coin out, size it down, re anneal, and re wrap the coin multiple times. This gets it done in one go.

[@randyhunt7585]

I dont understand the difference if you stack them to begin with. Maybe Im missing something butvit seems to be exactly the same.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Randy Hunt You should watch my Swedish Wrap video and you would understand completely. Then you could see the limitations of the brass plungers

[@randyhunt7585]

I think I understand. Would a pvc pipe work with a reducer in the end for stiffening and notched along sides for contraction. Im on disability and only get $490 a month so I try my best to save when possible. Im just starting and still gathering tools. I only like to do things correctly without cutting corners but some of the needed items like dies are very expensive and its taking me quit some time to get the equipment. Sorry to bother you with this but thanks for responding. Most people dont bother.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Randy Hunt you can just stick with schedule 80 pipe with notches. That is the key though. schedule 80 is good and thick.

[@Dennis-pe6zx]

Looks like plastic electrical conduit with 4 notches cut in it.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Haha very observant

[@Dennis-pe6zx]

Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear u think?

[@alexlu9578]

Ой , так это ж Витас

[@mattress38]

has anyone tried electric tape? I don't use the sweedish wrape method but it works for me for what I do. To me all these fancy tools take the fun out of the hobby

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+matman8736 Yes electrical tape is what was one if the first things that was used with this method. Some people still use it. The cool thing about all the fancy tools is you don't have to use them. It is totally up to you where you want to go with it.

[@b-smiley4332]

look it up dude. sch80 is only meant to take a few hundred pounds of water column inch pressure. your applying at least a thousand pounds with the Arbor press. think about it man before you put your name on this.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+b-smiley I agree with you about pvc being dangerous under load like an air system. I learned that a few years ago when I built a large air system with it. OSHA showed up and made me dismantle it. I then found out the danger. The good thing about the way these are designed is that it could never take anywhere near 1000 lbs. It is slit into 4 little legs. They just bend when they get overloaded. I tested them with my 6 ton press. They are safe as can be. It is totally different than compressing air inside it. It turns into a pipe bomb like that.

[@b-smiley4332]

look guy it's a fantastic idea. and in my opinion there has to be a better material out there that you can use. but I'm just one person. I mean no disrespect. its just the experience with pvc of all types, that I have due to my job, that leads me to feel this way. I'll stick to my "plungers" it's cool, don't get me wrong, I just won't use em. -just one guy

[@ronaldamoling8847]

Is there a rating on the compression stress that the pvc can take? I understand the internal pressure rating, as that has been measured and tested, and as you said, is not pertinent in this case. However, is there any documentation regarding testing the compression of pvc pipe that would show that applying X lbs longitudinally is ok?, ie has this capacity been demonstrated? At first glance, it would "seem" ok, but being in the engineering field, numbers tell the story.

[@ronaldamoling8847]

Thanks for your reply. I agree with your reasoning and think they're a great tool!
