Inspired by a Makezine Weekend Project, I made a ring out of a 50p coin.

  • i was trying it and when i dremmel it, it doesnt seem to make the hole bigger any tips¿

  • Hi, I used sand paper to make the hole bigger until it was the right size. It takes a long time but it works well.

    Lionel.

  • Does this work with a regular non silver coin? Will a nickel work

  • Yes it will work, but it's *much* harder! The coin in the video is not silver.

  • kewl, my dad works on the trams in melbourne so i used an old peice of railroad about 20cm long as my anvil and a 20c coin, its still in the making and hasnt turned out brilliant, any tips?

  • Hi,

    There are two things to take in account:

    - You need the right coin. I chose an old UK 50p coin and it was hard work. An old 90% silver half dollar is much better suited for this.

    - You need to tap the coin very gently and rotate it constantly. It takes a long time, so it needs patience.

    Good luck!

  • @mpseki that depends on where you live in the US it is perfectly ok

  • @hollaplayer07 No! You would say... "He WAS hung"....

    Common African term...

  • how much is the ring worth now more than 50p?

  • i did use the same coin

  • uuuh, thats kind of illegal

  • @Heltz21 uh i dont sugest doing this in 1 hour because you have to gradually shape the metal untill you are happy

  • im gonna do that tomorrow :) thanks for the video

  • you do realise this is high treason - the only crime in the UK still punishable by death. defacing the monarchy's head is high treason, i suggest you don't continue doing this.

  • @HikeyTube how long are we talking about? 1 hrZ? 2 hrs+?

  • I need power tools!
