  3. ok here goes
    You need a hammer, a hard surface, drills, some reasonable sized round bar, needle file, wet and dry and chrome polish!!

    place on it's edge on the hard surface...I'm using the back of a vice, tap the edge and turn slightly after each hit...do not thump it one as that will bend the coin out of shape..please note the glass of white wine is very important!!LOL

    [​IMG]

    you can see from this how the edge is getting wider!!

    [​IMG]

    the coin may get out of true as shown here...

    [​IMG]
    use round bar (or as I did a old, big ass masonary drill) to flatten it back..you may have to do this several times!!
    when you have the width of the coin about right.....drill the centre out

    [​IMG]

    to make the ring bigger (diameter) place on the round bar, support on end and tap and turn the ring as before Yep I have used an old drill again!!

    [​IMG]

    continue doing this till you get it to the right size...the inside of the ring is going to be sharp...it will cut you....if you push the ring on to your finger when its just a bit too small it's gona get stuck....trust me on this!!LOL

    carefully file the sharp bits out the centre and give it a going over, inside and outside with wet and dry,
    polish with chrome cleaner

    [​IMG]

    I have only made a couple and havn't yet managed to save the writing on the inside....but it is possible....there is also a second method that means you get the wording on the outside and the inside....gona give that a go and ill post the results!!

    BUT give this ago and your better halfs will love you...trust me on that!!

  4. My uncle made one for my Grandmother just after WW2. Used an Australian coin. I think he said they 'beat' it out with a spoon.

    Yea! I one in high school study class with a newer copper/nickel quarter and smacked it with a spoon about a million times, then drilled it and polished it. You could read everything very clearly but by the time i peened over the letters and drilled it, it would only fit my pinkie. Im not a pinky ring guy.

    I think to get good results you need a striking object that is fairly soft with a convex face (a spoon) and take your time especially with an old silver quarter because silver is much softer than the copper/nickel alloy quarters.

  16. A sketch I did a few years ago of a '36 three window I bought just to get the rumble seat hinges for my '35 coupe. As I remember, I paid about $35 for it.

  17. you can do it with a spoon no probs...but it does take a long time!!
     
  18. Cory- sharp as a tack, that looks keen.








    1- I dig hot rods.
    2- I dig fogging.
    3- Into this pic was inserted a woman. Usually too hurried to do so.

    Maybe Weez saw my stuff when he was a kid.;)

    I love your response! Keep the fogging AND the women! Lord knows he's not the first person to paint hot rods and women,and fogging, I did kind of think the same thing though,:eek: but I am also a Spoggie fan! By the way,is anyone else's kids pounding on quarters tonight? My 9 year old Wade thought that was awesome and he's got my railroad tie and a hammer in the living room,beatin' on a quarter!

    Hey all, I do not get a chance to post much over here but thought you might like this. Just finished this up for Greg at Extreme Powder Coating. Who says a long bed can't be cool!

  30. Carter! great truck! The scallops and warn paint are great! Makes me want to write a check for a guy in town with a red and white '66 Chevy much like your blue one.

    Dart! Cool Chevy!

    Rust never sleeps! It hits the beach!
