This was my first time watching one of your videos, and I am every impressed at the way you went about this project! Seriously, you checked all the boxes! Your knowledge of the design process, machine setup, the way you presented the content along with narration, editing the video to highlight what we needed to see, while also removing the repetitive portions as to be conscious & respectful of our time! Without a doubt, you are a huge value to TH-cam, as well as both a qualified craftsman and quality gentleman! Already subscribed as a reminder for myself to check out any & all other videos you produce. Not sure how I found my way here after so much previous time spent on TH-cam, but I'm thrilled that it finally happened! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Best wishes for a healthy, prosperous, exciting and Happy New Year! (gw) 👍
Look at that fine ass box! 😂😂. Great project! I recently did my first small coin engraving with my logo, so i could add them to my furniture builds. Looking forward to making more things now!
It's not, this is how this coin is made (well, it's actually a medal). Actual coins are struck between dies imparting the shape of the die on the coin. But, that's beyond the average home machinist to do.
Hello, it's a great video and very detailed. What kind of blade do you use for bronze, I would like to try it with my cnc. You think that the cnc has to have a great power to do this.
l0ckcr4ck3r It handled it like a champ in what you get to see, I ruined three coins (not counting the double sided tape disaster) while trying to get the settings to a good level. There's a lot of vibration when milling metal.
If you’re serious, and you’re ready to pay what it would actually cost, reach out to me in private. I have a contact form or email listed on my website.
+Buddah Kush using a better milling machine you can no doubt do the milling of the rim on the machine as well, but on this one it was asking a bit too much. I would sell them, but considering the time that goes into them for me to sell them for any reasonable price would mean basically not valuing that time at all, or charge far too much money for anyone willing to pay.
+dontonipz I kind of just learned by doing, and by having experience with depth maps from 3d modeling, and drawing on the computer. I unfortunately don't have any tips, beyond that you should apply your depth map in your 3d software so you can actually see how it looks like as you're working on it, and where you need to alter to make it look the way you want, switching back and forth between 2d and 3d.
Yep i know , thats probably the hardest part of the 3d , i use a plugin for photoshop ,named DOF PRO ( dofpro.com ) Wich helps me a litle bit .Check it out .
Couldn't this be done with a forge? I mean to melt down copper or aluminum and pour it into a mold which has the images on top/bottom... Would the effect be the same or worse?
Casting metal and having it flow out in this fine of a detail without something like a roto casting machine (which forces the metal out with centrifugal force), and keeping the cast metal hot enough as it flows out so it doesn't solidify half way, is such a hugely complex endeavor it's not worth it. It's mainly only done with silver and gold, because those metals melt at lower temperatures, and generally you cast pretty small stuff with it.
Damn, I really feel like doing this, but the machinery... wondering if it's possible to just take the brass (or an existing coin) and make what you want with a drill bit and tons of patience.
a dremel or engraving tool would be your best bet. I was looking for a way to 're-press' coins into another design such as you might find in an old industrial tourist hot spot - coin roller press thingie :P
Heres the actual questions though, The machinery needed to make that is quite complicated so it would be beneficial if maybe the equipment was also in the description. Im guessing its thousands of dollars at least, so if one needs to find somebody to do the imprinting of the coin once all the graphics and 3d modeling was finished, they know what to ask for.
+The Persona I mention it in the video, it's very easy to hit up Google and find yourself. Though, frankly, if you're going through all of that for just one coin, and you don't have the equipment, it may just be better to use a service like Shapeways to have it printed directly in metal, or to contact a coin foundry and have a custom coin minted for you. The cost of both of those methods are several magnitudes more expensive than milling it yourself.
I have a 1987 Wells Index CNC (5HP, 1585Kg) machine so it should be able to handle the cuts... also it has a mist attachment, so it should make a clean cut. I really need to try this... looks like a great project. Do you remember what you RPM, Feed, and Plunge rates were? askjerry.info/monster_mill_machine.shtml
No idea I'm afraid. I was running the rpm as high as they would go, which I believe is 15000rpm, and feedrate was very very slow with tiny step over. With a more high powered mill and better work holding you could run way faster, and with greater step over, at least for the roughing.
Switch & Lever My machine has a top end of 4000 RPM... so I'll attach a small die grinder and use that as the spindle... I'll have to make a video when I do... should be interesting. Thanks for the idea!
Maybe i'm at the wrong place now, but do you make coins on request? :) I'd love a coin with my own design. Very awesome job by the way :D That looks so cool!
Thank you! But no, I don't do coin commissions. It would be far too expensive anyhow. Better to go to those who have a bit of expertise doing this. Look into medal makers would be my suggestion.
Very cool project!!
jimmydiresta Cheers man!
+Switch & Lever can u make and send me a coin

Damn, now I really need to look at buying a CNC machine. This looks so awesome and fun to try.
Great video Daniel - The start of the S & L Bank!

so, where can we buy the machine?
게임신 he Said 3D printer so i guess eBay or dba or amazon
"look at that fine ass box" best part

Is this what are you talking about lol
The level of detail on the coin is amazing. Great work!
Garage workshop Would love to have run it in a proper metal CNC mill though, with good work holding. The quality (and speed) would be much better!
Wow!
That is so cool. Well done!
Love the finishing technique on those!

That's a fine ass-box.

Thats one fine ass box!
haha
imagine someone gets a package from amazon and says DAMN! that's a fine ass box!
Very cool! What CNC machine did you use? How much would a set up like this cost!
If you have something in the way of a rock tumbler you could add wear and smooth out some of the layer lines with some very fine sand.
Wow, I love how the coin comes out!!
This is so cool. I never knew that is how coins are made
It's not, this is how this coin is made (well, it's actually a medal). Actual coins are struck between dies imparting the shape of the die on the coin. But, that's beyond the average home machinist to do.
Just what I was looking for, thanks man!

You think that the cnc has to have a great power to do this.
"look at that fine ass box!" you had me rolling!
The Roland handled it like a champ, they turned out really well.

Nicely done Sir. Great video
My first thought when seeing the box: What? No brass hinges? ;)
Very cool project - thanks for sharing it :)
This is such a Cool Idea !!!
not2fast4u2c Cheers!
I agree! That is a fine-ass box!!👍
Great project as always !... Love the patina workaround :)
Very nice
Quick question I’m after a custom coin made is that something you would be interested in doing
If you’re serious, and you’re ready to pay what it would actually cost, reach out to me in private. I have a contact form or email listed on my website.
@@SwitchAndLever ok thank you
What size endmill did you use? Didn't seem to catch it in the video. A link maybe?
+Dino Selamaj that's because it's not an endmill, it's an engraving cutter.
That makes more sense.
Link to the cutter?
This is really interesting, I was wondering if u mange to do the milling on the edge? Du u sell your own coins?
+Buddah Kush using a better milling machine you can no doubt do the milling of the rim on the machine as well, but on this one it was asking a bit too much. I would sell them, but considering the time that goes into them for me to sell them for any reasonable price would mean basically not valuing that time at all, or charge far too much money for anyone willing to pay.
Hey , any tips of creating a depth map from an image ? Do you know any good tutorials , of going thru the entire process of it .Thank you .
+dontonipz I kind of just learned by doing, and by having experience with depth maps from 3d modeling, and drawing on the computer.

+Switch & Lever Thank you , i am doing just that, but i thout you had some tips.I will continue to do that :)
+dontonipz Wish I had a magic way of doing it, but it's all hard work, and failing a lot until you get it right.
Yep i know , thats probably the hardest part of the 3d , i use a plugin for photoshop ,named DOF PRO ( dofpro.com ) Wich helps me a litle bit .Check it out .
I like your project, very beautiful made. Thank you for sharing your amazing video
Nice work!
Where can I buy the CNC milling machine
do you make the coin box for sell?
I am just starting at metal milling... What drills have you used?
No drills at all, this is milled out using a small engraving bit.
Fine ass work!
Awesome tutorial S&L!
Fine ass box, indeed. I enjoyed this video.
nice work ... where we can get the machine?
Really nice idea for a gift !
Keld Sørensen Indeed, it was very well received! Thanks Keld!
What machine is being used here and where can I get it?
You're so crazy... Awesome videos, interesting variety and clean work....keep the nice Job.
Shame I don't have that machine
I really like your content! well done
Very nice work
were did you get the mashin
Very cool build.
that was really awesome. love the fine-ass box!
Dude. This is a great help. Thanks!!
What are you planning? :D
Switch & Lever *walks away while whistling nonchalantly*
Thanks for a nice video - saw it in 2020 , and looks very good @cool ...a big thumbs up !!!
The Personal Coin may mean that while in one's travels, the level of service is variant to an individuals cast, clan, and worthiness!
Could this be done smaller?
do you make dye?
I tried making one but the result was very disappointing. How do you get such quality
0:24 Actualy, several coinS on the same copper plate ;) Cool video!
weathering touch was very nice.
What cnc machine are you using for this video?
I literally show the machine and model in the video.
@@SwitchAndLever haha, nice. I literally went to your cheap CNC video hoping that was it. lol. Thank you!
Couldn't this be done with a forge?
I mean to melt down copper or aluminum and pour it into a mold which has the images on top/bottom...
Would the effect be the same or worse?

That was super cool.
I was just coming to see how to make my own coin but I got a fine ass box too. #HAPPY_AF
informative and well edited
Question sir: "if your cnc machine is not intended for metal, how about milling plastic and use it to make a mold for metal?"
Why you might think that that's a great idea.
Wait until you pour that hot metal on that plastic
@@red2965 I'm sure he means make a 2 part sand mold. You wouldn't cast it on the plastic directly.
How do you make the tails
Wow this was amazing video!!
FINE ass box and bitchin coins!! Ave might have you beat in subs but you have him beat in perfection. Thanks for what you do.
That is beautiful!
You are a wild and crazy guy!

Excellent videos as always. You videos always have a very clean and polished feel to them. (y)
MinerAmax Cheers!
amazing and informatic video
A very good video, thanks!
great work congrats!
Really impressive.
Great job!
thank you for teach me how to make my won coin!
Now is time to unpack my high tech tools.
You should try making a mold of it and casting another coin (or a lot more of them)
I fukn love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
What type of bits in router?
ezshua Regular high speed steel bits. It's not a router, but a milling machine. Different machines, even though they do similar things.
Very nice
Awesome 👌
Nice! Now I just only need the things for it, and I can make my own coins!
I absolutely love that fine ass box for those fine ass coins.
