This is BY FAR the most clear, simple, informative coin ring-making video I’ve come across! Many thanks!
Hi Fencekid! I just want to say that this is the clearest explanation I've heard on any TH-cam vid! Thank you for uploading and keep on with the superb rings!
I wholeheartedly agree!
Ive wasted too many hours of my life searching/watching- 'how to coin ring' vids. This is damn sure the best one made.
Thanks for the video. 25 cents is my budget for my soon-to-be wife's wedding ring so this will work.
Don't break the bank Bruce.
hahahaha
(laugh)
Anything you make with your own hands is waaaaaay more romantic than something you bought at a store. Anybody can throw money down.
You can get silver quarters on Ebay for 6 to 12 bucks, in case you feel like splurging
I bought your same tools you used and the quarter rings turned out great the first time - good video - Thank You
rock and roll man, glad to have helped out.
fencekid You inspired me to go to harbor freight and a local bead shop, and buy a mandrel, dapping set, punch set, blow torch and hammer. I just finished my first ring! It's not too great, the hole was off center, but it kind of gives the ring a top and bottom, if you will. Thanks for the videos! I really like doing stuff with my hands, and this seems like a hobby that can fit any budget! I'm looking forward to giving my first ring, and many more to my girlfriend! Thanks for the tutorials! I wouldn't know how easy and rewarding this was if it wasn't for you!
Neo Baggins Right on Brother! Yer first rings are expected to be your worst quality. Skills aren't purchased, they are earned through trial and error, patients, practice and effort. Keep chugging Man. You'll get there:)
fencekid
Hi Fencekid, I was wondering what type of polish do you use? Thanks.
vietdude1979 Let me show ya, th-cam.com/video/lMU40L4E_GI/w-d-xo.html
fencekid
Thank You!!!
Neo Baggins l
Working man hands! Awesome work, I am going to recommend this to my wife who likes to do crafts and sells them in craft fairs! Thank you very much for posting this!
I just finished my first ring also, came out very good following your directions, thanks
I wasn't searching for this vid it just showed up and I watched it. I have to say this is my favorite vid on TH-cam. I am going to give this a try. I love it. What a great gift to give someone. A gift made by the giver is so much nicer than a store bought item. Thanks for sharing.
you can get smaller anvils, and you don't even need one. It's just a nice thing to have.
I just spent 200 on a slightly fancier set of tools for ring making.
just wanted you to know, you have inspired me, and I have bought the equipment to do this myself. Thanks
This video somehow randomly popped up on my TH-cam and now here's a hobby I never knew I wanted to do until right now. This looks awesome. Thank you for the inspiration
SUCH AN EXCELLENT DEMO!! YOU MAKE AN ORDINARY COIN INTO SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
omg this is literly one of the best ring vidoes ive ever seen, and ive been looking every where, you do it with the lest amount of tools possible, and not all those exspensive tools!!! thank you so freaking much this is awesome!
Wish we could have seen you polish it. It's beautiful.
So interesting! I will definitely be putting this on my (very long) list of future projects! Explained really simply and succinctly with the necessary references to get the final product. Thanks man!
Absolutely gorgeous, the one you done where the hole was not done evenly still looked great and as you said different looks! Great job.
Actually, I like the looks of the quarter over that of the silver. The quarter looks just stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Best tutorial I've seen on the subject. Thanks!
HANDS DOWN the best video I've seen for making these! Youra turned out better with fewer tools than any I've watched so far! Thank you!
This is so cool and it combines two things I love to collect rings and coins, I can't wait to order the tools so I can start making my own, I've seen another method but it doesn't keep the design and the size is limited , thanks for sharing !
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this, I’m starting a welding course so I’m trying to do some research and just get familiar with a few basic concepts or techniques. I really enjoyed this, thanks again.🙏🏾
Logan Wilder Thanku so much, it does I’m actually taking Metal Fabrication so THATS quite helpful
Omg Logan ur so fantastic 😩 I’ve been working on my body mechanics and positioning when laying a groove. I’m learning how important that puddle is. I find myself thinking “Dont Breathe and you won’t screw up, lol. They had me working with aluminum this week. I really need to work on my angles so I can see how far the copper wire is from the Metal when I’m working with steel. I didn’t do too bad w/the beads but I’m an obsessive protectionist freak so I’ll pace myself. My teacher tells me “Good job, it looks like you’ve been doing this awhile”...I’m like, Yeah it all looks like trash”😒🤣😩 I’m going to the library tomorrow for welding books 🥰 I LOVE BOOKS😍
Logan Wilder so here’s the UPDATE, i LOVE IT. Apparently I’m really good at TIG. My instructor had me coach 2 fellow veterans and they improved their beads by 100% within the hour. My mom bought me a sexy new helmet and she’s beautiful 😍😍😍
Dude that is wicked cool!! I'm gonna try this today. I got the day off and I got several quarters to play with.
Thank you. So many of the other videos use expensive equipment and this made it feel more possible for me
This is fantastic! How did I miss this for 5 years and 5.6 million views!?!?!
this is really cool and I would love to have one of these rings from my home state..
that is so clever and beautiful. An artist! Thank you for sharing this with us.
YES...NICE RING...NOW I DON'T HAVE TO BUY AN ENGAGEMENT RING...I CAN MAKE ONE.
Sam Lorenz With the work and love put into it like this artist did..and the promise to place a diamond in it when can afford it.. she'll love it. I would. :)
;)

I've never seen this before and it's awesome. Instead of buying the tools, etc. I will purchase from your Etsy store. Great work. Love it!
Also gave ya a shout out on Facebook and a link to your Etsy store. (You're welcome. :D )
You are a born teacher. I have no interest in making jewelry, but because you made it seem so easy I was able to enjoy this video.
Well done! I really like how you explained things here. You did a great job!
Thanks for the vid fencekid! My girlfriend has been on my case that she wants a ring for Christmas and I jokingly said fine I'm gunna get you a 25 cent ring. Here is my opportunity to do exactly that! I make her handmade presents every holiday. She's going to love it!
A.M. Ray Take it away Romeo!
i'd buy one of the silver quarters for GF, it will buff to a high shine
Man I've gotten into knife making and blacksmithing because of awesome youtubers such as yourself. Wonderful instructional, keep it up!
great video! best one ive found on here. quick, clear and concise. I've had fun making my own ring. next I may even attempt the contrasting stage lol but, anyway thanks again
My father taught me this when I was a lad and I've refined my method several times over the years. One thing that is a big help and timesaver is to use a circular rubber sanding paper holder. Slip your ring over the holder drum instead of the sandpaper ring. After that put the holder into a drill chuck.tighten the drill in your vise and use the drill trigger lock or a piece of wire to hold the trigger on whatever speed you like. You can now sand off the edges perfectly by holding the sandpaper against the turning ring. You can also follow this with some very fine crocus cloth then some polish on a rag.You get an amazing pristine shine this way. This will work especially good on your rings that you take off the lettering and just make polished silver. I have some photos of this on another hard drive in a closet.... If you're interested I'll get them out and show them to you. Peace and be kind to everyone. Devon Etherton
Devon Etherton, you lost me at holder drum! You obviously know a lot about these tools and this craft. I'd like to see and hear more about it please.
To fix the side you didn't like, leave the ring on the mandrel with that side up. Now take your hammer and lightly tap that edge toward the mandrel while rotating the mandrel. Be careful not to tap the ring further down the mandrel as the purpose is to equalize the ring edges. Tapping too hard could cause separation between the nickel and copper, so go light. The whole ring making process here can be done solely by tapping the coin down the mandrel without using the PVC, but I like the PVC idea, it is very clever
Nice
fencekid, your video instruction is crazy ausome. I've been a part time jeweler for 50+ years and have never seen nor heard of this kind of process. Now I'm off to get a die & punch set and get out the mandrel. A good, small rawhide hammer too. On that small crack, (offset ring), just a small amount of silver solder & a (Mapp - O2) micro torch will fix that. Dude you are inspiring. Thank you.
You do great work, very good craftsmanship. God Bless you and thank you for sharing.
You taught me something, and for that I thank you.
Wow.. I thought it was a joke when you said you could make a coin into a ring. Well impressed by that bud!
Just watched you win on Forged In Fire! Brilliant Craftsmanship! Bravo!
This was probably the best 13 mminutes of my WHOLE week! thanks man...very cool..!
I'm going to do this ,I have a couple of old Irish coins I'd love to make into a ring,I like the wide one better , the others look like wedding bands ,but lovely looking .
When forming the ring on a mandrel, you can easily avoid splitting or cracking through a simple process called "annealing". The metal cracks because it becomes "work-hardened". Work hardening is the same process that occurs when you bend a piece of wire back & forth several times... the metal becomes physically harder, and therefore more brittle (less ductile). Eventually, it's no longer soft enough to bend - when it's hard enough it fatigues, cracks and breaks. To anneal the silver coins, stop working it periodically and heat the metal to almost Cherry-Red, called Dull-Red (900°F). Then either allow it to air cool or quench it in water. (Quenching can cause metals other than silver to case-harden) Do this a few times (2 or 3) during the stretching /forming process. Each cycle of heating and cooling "normalizes" the silver to its prior hardness... the cracking / splitting can be eliminated.
Btw Not "rivets"... the serrated effect on the outer diameter of a coin is called reed or reeding. The taper you've sanded on the outer edges is called a chamfer.
One way you can be sure not to overheat silver for annealing, is to make a mark on it with a Sharpie marker pen (I usually draw a cross) and then heat it. When the mark fades away, you have reached the correct temperature. This can be handy when working in bright light, where it is difficult to see the dull red colour.
Thank you, Scott K. Sounds like the making of a great knife too! 👍
@@wowbaggertheinfinitelyprol6262 , what a great innovation! Thanks!
The coin he is working with is not silver but a copper/nickel alloy
clad over a planchet of pure copper.
@@dttomsen971 It can still benefit from the annealing process.
Thanks for that. I have not come across the pvc pipe used to push the ring down the mandrel. Great result without all the expensive tools.
This is one of the best tutorials on you tube. Thanks for sharing!
What did you polish / seal it with? And...would that prevent the copper from turning the finger green?
@fencekid
Thank you for this upload. Straight forward, concise instructions. I am curious though & would like to know what sort of polish you use & how you actually do the polishing. ie: Do you use a felt wheel on a bench grinder with polishing paste or a dremel type tool etc.?
Thank you in advance for your response & any advice on this.
How to Mirror Finish Silver Rings
fencekid Thanks for your prompt response. I actually just saw your video on polishing shortly after watching this video. I just came back to leave you a note that you didn't need to respond but you beat me to it. Cheers.
I am a avid recycle crafter that in the last few months got hooked on jewelry making with wire wrapping and leather braiding and beads, I think these make awesome men rings and hopefully I can strike an interest in my husband to start picking these up as a hobby and start selling with me. These are just awesome!
You just may HAVE planted a seed in my head. I think I'll start doing this. All the other videos show people using lots of exotic, expensive equipment. This it the FIRST video I've seen where everything is done with minimal equipment that can be purchased at minimal expense. Thanks for introducing me to my newest hobby!
Seen your video kid yes ... Everyone has there opinion on what this is and what that is but keep up the great work man your rings are awesome..
thanx man
Beautiful rings!! Love the idea - What type of polish do you use? Thank you for sharing!
Simplest ring making I ever saw,... thank you.
Every video is chock full of important info, I'm almost 70 and love absorbing new interesting and productive skills to enlarge my arsenal of things I love to do. Fencekid is a great source of information and instructions on how to do this art of coin ring making.
+fencekid dude this is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone you took just a normal quarter which every American has just laying somewhere and made it something just amazing.
Perfect timing at 11:42, "see where I split it?" then the dog whimpers in the background.
i thought it was MY dog LOL I was eating chicken and she is next to me begging.
Your video was exactly what I was looking for something simple not have to buy a lot of tools expensive. Thank you very much.
you are awesome .Thank you for sharing with such a humble&inspiring attitude !!
If you're going to do a lot of these, I'd invest in a little bench sander or some sort of electric sander/grinder. A Dremel even. If you think it may be too rough, practice can make you surgical on one of those. You'll cut a lot of time out of your work and get more turnover.
Thank you for posting such a well made video, fence kid! Great idea, great tips, great channel. I subbed.
Love the rings, thanks for a great how to video.
Really neat. I like making jewelry. This just added to my to make list. Thanks for sharing !
Watch till the end guys, final final product is amazing.
i agree wow
Imagine making two rings: one for you, and one for the one you love. And the coins would be the year you two had your first date, and the state is where you two had it, or where you two live.
I was thinking wedding rings would be good with your idea and making it a wedding band would be even better !
I actually talked to my gf about the same thing lol
What about those Canadians though...?
@@j.macjordan9779 What about us? We can use our own coins; there are no provinces but we do have years on them. Nicole (Ontario, Canada)
@@thepeddler9226 - It was a joke because the use of "State." The joke doesn't work if it's just saying Canada doesn't have States - it needs to imply an us vs them undertone or I'm just a nerd pointing out you guys don't have States. "Yeah, but what are we gonna do if them Canadians find out about this...?"
So no worries; I wasn't making fun of Canada. The 'Merica mentality if anything. And I don't think the OP was being all about 'Merica either.
Your video is amazing and you really explain and go through every stage . Really well thanks and keep up the good work . Well done.
Just went and got my doping block set and my punch and dye set and a mandrel and I'm trying them out tonight :) Love your vids.
Get a ziplock bag and mash up a hard boiled egg in it. Put the ring in it and let it sit a few days. It will form a nice tarnish on the ring. Then polish off the high points and all the details will jump out and give it a antique effect. It's a nice touch.
+James, Moore That would work much quicker and better if you use only the egg yolks, since it is the sulfide concentrations which cause the patina affect. Also try doing the same using mayonnaise, it's easier and simpler, and contains the same sulfides, but with slightly different variety of patina, but also allows for a more even coverage and less distorted effect.
James, Parke
@@valeriebellflower2666 , can't wait to see the difference your idea makes! Thank you.
James, Parke, thank you! Sounds like pickling fluid one uses after taking silver off a sprue! Probably smells the same too!
"I'm sure there's more than one way to skin a cat, but that's how i roll"
man, i laughed so hard.
great video.
thanks.
Look
scerini1 ml
Beautiful work, man! Congratulations!
That was amazing!!! thank you for making that video on making coin rings.
I believe in the motto of: Use it up,wear it out, make it work or do without. It amazes me of
We were raised with that exact same motto. First time I've heard it from someone else.
"I'll hold it steady and when I nod my head you whack it" - said every cartoon character ever.
Works great, thanks for posting this video, just one thing though if you intend to size your ring bigger than size 11 the 3/4 pvc pipe will jam onto the mandril so I had to use 1 inch pvc and by going side to side was able to get to size 12.
This is ABSOLUTELY amazing! Thanks for sharing and for the idea. Finally I have something creative I can do with all those pesky coins I got stuck with from my travels. Haha. Real cool stuff!
I have one my husband made for his mother about 58 years ago. I got it when when she passed..
Aren't you the lucky one. Did you get the kids ashtray too.
Its a heirloom. Am jealous!
You suck
awesome!
I've got to tell you that my friend and I are both laughing at the commentary on this video. It sounds so naughty ;) Thanks for the laugh and thanks for the video :)
ashley osburn Rock on Sister! Glad U dug it
Yes you planted a seed! If i had some extra money id be at the hardware store right now looking for a punch kit! I love this and thank you.
Thank you it's an awesome idea in my country I can't find a long lasting ring.this video is great help for weddings too
Brilliant, love it.
Nice work at least it puts some real value in coins.
This is so totally awesome! Plenty of time to make for the guys for Christmas! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a nice idea! I love it! Thank you for the experience!
I really liked the one that was off and how do you make them small for a lady or girls?
Smaller coin, smaller hole. Duh.
I was wondering the same, my size 4 1/2 finger could probably use a dime or nickel.
Make those 'off center' coins into earrings.
@@MultisportOfficial I was thinking Douche! in response to your, "Duh." Just wanted to let you know so you won't wonder how you come across in life while talking to complete strangers. I can relate, but use my powers for good. Lol. Oh and its obvious....you know all about smaller things. Great job!
My guess is that you'd choose a narrow hole puncher (smaller gauge) to make the center hole smaller so you don't have to work the ring too far down the mandrel. Also, try a smaller coin - nickel? I need this mandrel kit or a Dremel. I want to make a necklace of quarters! 🤟Thanks for the video.
What would you do if you want a smaller size ring, like a size 7?
There's a link in the description for that video.
hat was a brilliant demonstration, thank you so much for the inspiration. Shane
Thanks for your video - it's a great idea. If anyone in the UK is thinking of trying this, I have some info that might help. First, UK coins are now made of steel with copper or nickel coating, so they probably won't be suitable (though I guess you could use them for practice). I'd suggest getting hold of old shillings - they're almost exactly the same size as a quarter, and before 1920 they were made of sterling silver. I've bought them on eBay before now, and they weren't very expensive.
How'd you make a ring smaller than that? My fingers arent that thick, is there a way to make it less wide then a size 11?
Malakith Alamahdi There's no way to get a quarter smaller than its original diameter, unfortunately. You could try a smaller coin though..
start with a smaller hole.
I know nothing about making jewelery, but using general metal working skills, I'd say you could use a smaller hole. Obviously that's going to make a really wide ring, but then you can grind it down to your desired width. I doubt the etching will line up correctly, and you'd probably end up sending it all off to make it look decent, unless you just leave it wide, but you'd still have a cool piece.
Hey Fencekid
Awesome video, cool hobby.
Can you use some type of power grinder or polisher to finish the edge?
Where did you buy the acrylic punch guide block?
Thanks
Mark Kennedy Thanx Man. It's listed in the video description.
fencekid Thanks Fencekid.
I have already went and picked up a set from Harbor Freight.
One more question...I've seen some videos that says if your mandrel has the lenghtwise groove in it, it will leave marks on your rings. Is that true?
I'm having a tough time finding a mandrel without the groove.
What are your thoughts on that?
Who sells one without the groove?
Mark
Mark Kennedy yes it's true. I got mine on Amazon.
fencekid
I finally found one on Amazon,but boy did I have to dig.
I'm going to make my first ring this weekend.
Thanks for your help.
Mark Kennedy
I was helping an especially frugal friend of a friend get free stuff at Harbor Freight this past weekend & they've got this same item for $34.99. Amazon has lots of stuff, but I've found out recently their search engine doesn't show you the absolutely lowest prices, so I do a general search 1ST then if they're close on price I'll buy. If you're interested in more jewelry specific tools check out Rio Grande Jewelry Supply, plus at the top of their page is the current prices for top precious metals! (www.riogrande.com/Home)
You sir, are an 'Unselfisf Soul'.. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice - I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the video
"You are going to need something to put a hole in the center of the coin" Loads Remington 700 with creative intent.
One thing he didnt mention is that before you start pounding it out on the mandrill, sand down the inside where it was punched out so it will keep from splitting, ruining the design you want on the outside.
very nice
Friggin' Awesome! I'll have to get just a few tools to try this iut. Thankz!
That's flippen awesome! Wicked awesome! Thanks for the ride dude!
An interesting idea "Things I do in RETIREMENT".
Do you think it would be hard to do this with a palladium coin?
A friend of mine has been making these, they're called gypsy rings I think, really cool though!
I think it is very cool and it has to be relaxing with a hobby that does not break the bank. Great vid.
Really nice!! 😁 👍 The one 'off centered' that cracked, is a good ring for a girl who sometimes have fingers that swells up, just cut out a bit there to open it up a bit more first.
Do you warm the ring before sliding it down on the final stretch over the mandrel? Just to help prevent cracking?
Annealing definitely helps when doing this, but not mandatory in this example.
That just sounds dirty...
+fencekid
When will you post another video? I am a new subscriber and I really like your work, could you possibly make a new video sometime soon?
One ring (or several;) to rule them all! Very interesting, thanks!
Awesome! Nice simple method! I'm going to try this! Thanks, great video!
