my dad said when he was younger he used to get his dad (my grandpa) to drill a hole into a quarter and then he'd steal a spoon from the drawer and tap around the edges to turn it into a ring. this reminded me of that.
My ring (I'm still tapping it) is no where near as neat as that! However, I'm having a lot more trouble getting the hole in the middle. Anyone help me?
Have you seen the coin rings on eBay with the lettering on the "outside" of the ring? That's what I would like to learn, I wish someone would show how to do that here on YouTube.
@yrusonoitall buy a jewelers mandrel and a plastic mallet, drill a hole in the center of a quarter - put it on the mandrel, hammer it down to size, it will start to curve on you, once it's to the right size hammer it flat on the mandrel. Practice makes perfect
ive made heaps of these with Australian 20 cent and a fijian 10 cent but they are leaving brown and green lines where the rings have been, why is this happening and how can i stop it?
@constantinearaujo He drilled a hole in the inside (you can see it at 10:03 in the head ) and put in the hand saw's "blade" (the string basically) and cut it all round...
Just last night I went to some art thing, and there was a professional blacksmith there :) He gave me a quarter when I showed interest, and said that I could tap the sides, and eventually it will become wider like a ring.
This is great, my husband and I just got married, and are both extremely crafty. I believe he's making my ring out of wood, and I think this will be a great way to make his ring since I don't have any expirence with wood-working tools like him.
As kids we used to make silver rings from pre-1965 U.S. quarter-dollar coins, but we'd use a tablespoon's curved surface to whack the coin edge as we turned the coin in the other hand. Took longer than with a hammer, but the curved edge automatically took the shape of the spoon curve. The finished ring almost polished itself, and there was little chance of getting things out of round.
I made my wife a ring I used an old us mess kit spoon that way it wouldn't crack turned out great, I left all the tiny dents in it so it kina looked cool she loved it. Now on to the inside out ring
I like your vid very much I love finding out how things are done About the cracking as you hammer it the metal is getting harder and harder and so it cracks the trick is to keep heating it up from time to time with a blowtourch to very hot then let it cool slowly till it is cold this makes the metal go soft (No cracking) then when the ring is finished ready to put on your finger heat it up to very hot and cool it quickly it will harden it back to the way it was when you started. hope this helps.
My dad gave me a ring that he made out of a quarter when he was really young. His finger was almost cut off once in a mechanical accident in the air force but the ring saved it. It's one of my most prized possessions.
someone has described a ring and wondered how it was made, we think we have worked out how it was done so we will try and show you and this ring WILL BE FOR SALE ON EBAY keep your eyes peeled, as this video will be made tomorrow!... THIS WILL BE MADE FROM A 1966 WORLD CUP WINNING YEAR SIXPENCE AND SIZES WILL BE SHOWN IN VIDEO AND/OR DESCIPTION
I've made a couple of these, they both skewed a bit, I put it down to being a bit heavy handed with the hammer. My dad made some when he was younger & told me how to do it....they do tarnish quick though if you don't coat them.
Hey man!! i love the tutorial, i made a ring out of an Australian 20 cent peice and it came out immaculatly, im making another for my girlfriend because she has much much smaller fingers than me. Thanks again
How is that Punch and Die set anyways? The reviews aren't great on the website for it, but I wouldn't think that you would really need anything too exact if it's just a basic ring you're trying to make, right?
My brother sort of taught me how to make those out of nickels when I was a kid. I made a couple that were ok, but I don't know if the smashed thumbs were worth it lol
Definitely getting one of those Punch and Die sets though, that looks sooo much easier than what I did (Punched and hole and then just hammered it until it was ring shaped lol).
What an interesting tecnique, I might have a go at that.
Silver content of British coins is, pre 1920 is 92.5% silver-7.5% copper, pre1947 50% silver- 50% copper, from 1948 to present all silver coloured coins are 75% copper-25% nickle. the cracking is due to work hardening and can be reduced by annealing.
This is such a great idea! I wish I had access to all these tools, but I'd probably just hammer my fingers and saw them off right afterwards. That seems just like me. Would be a great alternative to a wedding band if we had access to coins that big.
@RicardoFeria no it isnt a crime, the crime is if you do it fraudulently. he is not...hes not claiming this is now worth 20x its value or anything....
@TwoTekah no, it's a crime to destroy money in any country lol by your logic if you burn 1 million euros/dollars/whatever in front of a police nothing happens to you.
@RicardoFeria WOW.... Just wow. I'm actually gonna make one beacuse its a crime. lol and because i feel my money is my money if its in my pocket....Or on my fingers.
@RicardoFeria your fucking retarded even if they were still legal tender its legal as long as your not creating false currency or duplicating them you dumb fuck
@joe222100 yes I think I've heard that too... but who is really going to notice what you made it out of unless you tell them or they look really close...
Go back 200 hundred years and you would have been hung for this it would have been seen as being a traitor against the Queen Monarchy, however this is 2011 and i suppose anything is acceptable in these days no-one seems to care anymore, but money is money and the coins are no longer useable, but the idea is good well done.
You did a fantastic job and now I'm gonna make one myself I remember someone telling me that you could make one from a dime or something by hitting it with a spoon and people used to do it in prison I tried it when I was a kid and hen I ran into the dilemma how do I get rid of the center and gave up lol
I love it. I got some coins from my Uncle. Cuban and I drilled holes in them to hang them from a chain and thought I was destroying history. I would hate to remove the art to make a ring but, it would be fabulous.
I would guess that the ring began to crack because of over working the metal through cold working, work hardening, strain hardening what ever you want to call it. You can prevent this by annealing the metal basically heating it up and cooling it slowly in the air. this will improve its ductility. very nice ring
U.S. coins wont work because they aren't made of silver or other precious metals there made of zinc and nickel. but i wouldn't go using a silver doller cause there worth more than you might think.
@hotrod1273 You can use US coins that are pre 1964 such as Half Dollars, quarters and dimes which are 90% silver. Also 1970 through 1965 on Half Dollars they are 40% silver which could work to.
@maagnifiquee Whole idea is to have a go yourself !! Saw another ring the other day that looked as if the coin had been turned inside out ... the guy wanted to sell them i think so didnt show how they were made ...iv worked it out and i may post a new vid on how its done !!! Keep on tapping !!! ;-)
@tittytwister5251 I've seen rings like that, too, where you can read the lettering on the coin or see part of the design on the outside of the band. A tutorial on that type of ring would also be much appreciated!
@junkosei1 Yes, but the metal will be a lot harder to work with. Canadian quarters, for example, are about 94% steel, so be a bit more careful with it than this guy is.
That is brilliant, I've never seen a ring made like this before, and I was wondering if you would have to damage the Queen's head, and you didn't.
I think coins of that period had quite a lot of Silver in them, though I don't know how much.
I wonder if it could be done with a 50 pence or 10 pence piece, I have an old 10 pence piece which is around the size of a half-crown (I think) I just need to try it, got most of the tools apart from the saw. I could do with an anvil, or a vice like yours.
@thisguysjewish2010 yeah you can do it with a quarter, the best is to use a quarter before 1864 because that was when quarters were still made out of 100% silver
Very informative video! Your father did a good job. I tried making a ring following this video. I used a Morgan silver dollar (90% silver). I was fine until I got to the drilling part and using the hacksaw. While in the vice, the coin actually cracked, & I was unable to fix it. Where did I go wrong? What should I have done? I didn't have too much pressure on the coin whilst in the vice. I want to try again & also later use a gold coin, but I don't want to make the same mistake(s). Thank you.
@Hyzing i would imagine that it holds much more meaning to him if he's made it himself. there's something timeless and special about a hand-made ring. ESPECIALLY one that takes this much time and effort.
@Hyzing kind of wierd that you talk about being poor when your uploads are just you playing a couple stupid free games for little kids on the internet. its hard to find this kind of cool info on making a ring and they are certainly more worth someones time than playing AdeventureQuest for free all day with the other 3rd graders...
Verey beutiful wat started out as a simple coin became a very nice ring i think ill try to make a ring like that to soon that is a good ring very nicely done
After a hundred taps or so, anneal the coin, by hitting it with a torch, just don't melt it! Then let the ring cool to room temperature. Annealing it removes the stresses in the coin so it won't crack.
does the coin have to be silver or can it be just a normal coin because i live it the states and after 1968 they stopped making the coins have silver in the unless for a special reason so it would be harder to find
wcgems .. im talking about your $20 pencil torch .. not oxygen/acetelene .. been working with metals long enough to offer suggestions .. and no, i would not want to spend 3 days making a ring .. the labor charge would be outrageous lol ... fire is a tool that doesnt detract from metal formation in a hand crafted piece .. Fire is our Friend ... errrrrrrrrrrr

Does your dad have any tips for keeping the ring round and even while doing the initial hammering?

@thisguysjewish2010 yeah you can do it with a quarter, the best is to use a quarter before 1864 because that was when quarters were still made out of 100% silver

Very informative video! Your father did a good job. I tried making a ring following this video. I used a Morgan silver dollar (90% silver). I was fine until I got to the drilling part and using the hacksaw. While in the vice, the coin actually cracked, & I was unable to fix it. Where did I go wrong? What should I have done? I didn't have too much pressure on the coin whilst in the vice. I want to try again & also later use a gold coin, but I don't want to make the same mistake(s). Thank you.

@Hyzing i would imagine that it holds much more meaning to him if he's made it himself. there's something timeless and special about a hand-made ring. ESPECIALLY one that takes this much time and effort.

@Hyzing kind of wierd that you talk about being poor when your uploads are just you playing a couple stupid free games for little kids on the internet. its hard to find this kind of cool info on making a ring and they are certainly more worth someones time than playing AdeventureQuest for free all day with the other 3rd graders...

After a hundred taps or so, anneal the coin, by hitting it with a torch, just don't melt it! Then let the ring cool to room temperature. Annealing it removes the stresses in the coin so it won't crack.

Quality! Would heating the coin up make the hammering part easier and quicker?

does the coin have to be silver or can it be just a normal coin because i live it the states and after 1968 they stopped making the coins have silver in the unless for a special reason so it would be harder to find

wcgems .. im talking about your $20 pencil torch .. not oxygen/acetelene .. been working with metals long enough to offer suggestions .. and no, i would not want to spend 3 days making a ring .. the labor charge would be outrageous lol ... fire is a tool that doesnt detract from metal formation in a hand crafted piece .. Fire is our Friend ... errrrrrrrrrrr
