Jimmy, I just want to thank you again for teaching me how to make these little coin bells out of quarters through your videos !!! I have given away a lot of these little bells to my friends and they just love them . I just turned 73 today and I love this hobby !!! People ask me how I learn to make these and I give you all the credit , thanks again Jimmy and you have a blessed day !!!
Thanks Phillip for the kind words. I too enjoy this hobby and am having a blast creating jewelry from coins. Especially enjoy making coin bells!!! I‘m glad the videos helped you along the way. Again thank you for the kind words. Jimmy
Jim Beautiful work!! you have a new sub!! i have some new tricks and ideas just from your one video. wow i cant wait to watch some more... keep on ringin!
It could probably be done on quarters but anything larger would need to be done with a hydraulic press. I’ve tried with a one ton and it is really tough, especially punching the hole. Folding to a point is ok but extruding the bell through the Swedish Wrap die is also very tough with a one ton.
@@tommyreimrock8667 Hi Tommy. For me, I make sure to coat the inside of the dies with plenty of coconut oil. I also make sure the coin is level in the die before I begin the initial push. Slow is better. Make sure to fold slowly. Any of these factors could be contributing to your coin slipping in the die.
Hi Jimmy I watched your video I have a domeing set from jasons works but they do not have a nipple on top to mark center that looks very helpful so i ordered a set from coin ring tools they came today and no nipple they are smooth are yours a special order ?? Thanks Rod
Hi Rodney, I ordered my set a couple years ago. All three push rods had a nipple but it wasn’t a special order. Maybe mine was an anomaly? I’ve had others say theirs had a nipple but I guess they don’t necessarily come that way?
Hi Rodney. Thought you could use this to mark the center of your coin with a sharpie before you dome. Even if you don’t have a mark from your push rod, you should have a nice center mark from the sharpie then use your center punch to make a permanent mark. Don’t drill the hole until after you’ve fully domed. unminted.ltd/product/pocket-center-finder-w-optional-ultra-fine-point-sharpie-marker/

Can this all be done with just a one ton Arbor press? Thank you

on the initial push im running into my coins slipping side ways. How do I keep it from doing this?
