How to make a ring of ordinary coins

Want to make a gift, but not enough money? That's okay, because you can make very beautiful decoration of ordinary coins, using simple tools that everyone has at home — a drill and a tablespoon. However, the process is long, it is advisable to choose the coin from the alloy softer.

Better not to take coins with Nickel and copper because they can cause allergies. Best of all silver.


The network has different instructions. There are several ways, the easiest is to tap on the edge (edge of a coin), slowly turning it.

Typically, this forging hammer is used, but the American craftsman Shane Walton (Shane Walton) says more accurately obtained if instead of a hammer banging on the edge... tablespoon: he posted step by step instructions on how to do it.

Production time: 6 to 50 hours.

The first step is to drill a small hole in the center of the coin and insert a wedge through which we will hold the coin during forging.



Then a few hours of tapping with a spoon around the edge, turning the coin. Duration of the procedure depends on the softness of the metal. The ring gradually becomes thicker and smaller in diameter. Continue forging until it reaches the desired size.



At this stage it is convenient to grind the outside of the ring into him drill drill. Use sandpaper, rotating the ring on the drill.

After this is to remove material from the center of the coin, in any way possible: using drills, Sanders, nail files or other tools.



All of the tools that were used in the process, Shane Walton photographed. The axe blade was used as a stand on my knees in the process of forging. For the polishing step he took a women's nail file.



But for more professional products that keep the picture of the original coin, you will have to use a more technically sophisticated way.
