Although one can simply hammer a coin into a ring like shape, that does not make it a ring. The care you take to form the edges, dome the sides, make the ring comfortable to wear, and pleasant to look at MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! THANK YOU for caring and taking the time to make coins into rings.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185368429695253364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457930151068799815.post-45563277179219922002013-06-18T22:45:41.970-07:002013-06-18T22:45:41.970-07:00How do you "dome" the ring and give it t...How do you "dome" the ring and give it that "tire" look?!Fook INGSOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999452261208494537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457930151068799815.post-71587887241415479552013-05-24T16:07:44.482-07:002013-05-24T16:07:44.482-07:00I just wanted to tell you that your coin rings are...I just wanted to tell you that your coin rings are the best on the market, and this Morgan dollar ring is an absolute game changer.

I'll cover the use of leather in it so you can see how many applications it has.

You could try a step mandrel?<br />The edges as silly as it sounds have kinda been my signature on my coin rings. <br />I've always used very fine files, sanding and polishing. I do it inside and outside. Inside to make the rings comfortable. Outside to give them a different look. I wouldn't try filing the rims until you are at the final steps of making your ring. You want it formed first.

The few rings I have tried tend to have the cone shape.<br /><br />And how are you finishing the edge? From the rim of the coin to the row of 'teeth' is a very short distance on the coin. However, on the ring you have a wide polished edge.<br /><br />Thanks!Joe Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053664469046662286noreply@blogger.com
