Very cool. I tried it with a dollar bill but after the annealing process, it was just ashes. Your way is better.
He annealed it wrong, you have to wait for the metal to cool down. This makes it actually soft and playable. What he did was quenching in water, which in essence just makes the metal harder.
@@marbrose4804 just realized my mistake. oops
@@foreveryoung7582 you should try making a spoon ring
@@masterkeexd9532 that's actually one of my next projects!
Dude I can literally make you an origami ring out of a dollar bill!
PSA: DON'T BURN MONEY!
Hahaha! Seriously though you can make a ring with paper money!
You're awesome for taking the time to help out others who don't have the "coin" to buy the tools. Or, perhaps like myself, I would like to try making one before I invest a lot into the proper tools. Thanks!
Naw man. I think you misinterpreted. We want to know how to make one without ANY ring tools lol.
I made that video a while back. It is called Forged coin ring making for beginners
I think you just want free shit.
Naw lol son.
Yeah the press is pretty cheap if you get one at harbor freight. The dies are the expensive stuff. I have most of the stuff including dies and the press was easily the cheapest.
You don't need the ring sizer tools a drift pin and torch to keep the coin soft just be gentle with the hammer. Get the rubber mallet from harbor freight
Railroad iron, hammer, drill and rattail file. You're welcome 😊
Skyler you are the man, I'm almost 70 years old and just getting into coin ring making and love watching your videos, you take it from Fred Flintstones era all the way to the Jetsons, I'm hanging out in Bedrock for now but looking to move to the Jetsons one day. Thanks man
Wow right on! I appreciate the kind words :) Enjoy getting into coin rings! It is an extremely addictive hobby for sure.
Hey Skyler 🤓 another great tutorial man! A true master at work 😍 so helpful to all that are interested in this craft.
Thank You very much for simplifying what I thought would be a very expensive venture!
Nicely done! Thank you so much! I think I’ll give it a try.
Thank you so much!!! You made this look totally doable for even me.
Another great vid! Hope any newcomers to coin ring making see this video!!
This is pretty damn sweet, i've been looking for a new hobby, will be getting on this here in the next few days.
A few years ago I made a ring for my mom out of a quarter just by rolling across my fab table and tapping it with a hammer around the edge for a while, drilled and shaped the hole and polished it on a bench grinder buffing wheel, turned out nice. Might have to give this method a shot!
I want to try this so bad!!! Thank you for showing ppl how without all the really expensive stuff!
I got into making these a few years ago, plain quarters are good for practice and turning your finger green. 🤢 but once you get good, you can invest in some nice coins to make some absolute masterpieces💍
I don’t even know what to say, BUT WOW!!
So cool brother.
I am patiently waiting on the video to make them larger with minimal expensive tools. I like the straight walls so anything you’re gonna use to straighten walls, if you do, I’m interested. Thinking about cutting my mandrel into 2-3” sections. Might just work. Maybe👍
Beautiful and creative work!
This guy is fuuny. But after watching this videoi felt very motivated to pay someone else to do it for me
Lol. Making these things without the 'proper' tools, IS very labor intensive. My first ones took 3 1/2 hours of pounding with a mallet to fold over and increase size and using a doming block in my vise to reduce sizes.
@@johnharden5720 I don't have a clue what you said😂. Don't think I could do it right even with the proper tools
the way you ""center"" the coin is really impressive
one can feel the ""know how""
This was so kool, that looks great. I can tell you take pride in your work and product. I loved the link as well...
Center marking with the pen is Genius.. Thank you for sharing x :-)
I just put the coin in the machine at the Chinese restaurant and it gives me a ring.
Dang! I'd like to run into one of those!
Kidding?
Was your girlfriend impressed?
@@nihlhinz488yea, it's her favorite restaurant
@@killingtime669 No, it's called Timmy's Wok, look it up.
I just don't understand how you put in a metal quarter and a plastic ring comes out... I'm working on it...
This was awesome on so many levels. You deserve the gold metal for this one. This will definitely help out many.
Don’t give this man a gold metal he will just turn it into a ring bahahahaha 😆
He would have to make the medal himself, I think!
Thanks for the video can’t wait to see the larger sizes being done!
Look elsewhere
WOW! excellent work with very simple tools. Amazing!
interesting method. Less specific tools for sure, however still some.
You don't anneal metal by quenching in water you just locked the hardness by doing that. It has to be cooled slowly. You harden metal by increasing the temp to the proper heat you need for a particular hardness then quench it in oil, etc. cooling it quickly locking the crystalline structure vs letting it realign slowly.
You are working with steel
If you want to anneal your coin you can use a gas stove (just make sure not to burn yourself, use metal tongs). I also use a gas stove for soldering silver rings/pendants, it works surprisingly well.
I bought one of these they are really cool. I also bought a "gold piece" ring, I love that one.
Rings look amazing! I'm not 100 percent sure but i believe annealing is the process of heating metal and cooling slowly. Quenching hot metal hardens the metal and makes it more brittle.
Well, you're half right.
The way you describe it is how it works for steel.
For silver, as well as for copper, the annealing process works just as well whether you cool it slowly or quickly.
The way annealing works is that the cristalline structure of the atoms is "relaxed" through the heat, and dislocated atoms (which otherwise lead to hardness) align themselves into the structure.
In the case of steel and other ferrous metals, the structure (or "phase") they take on at high temperature is a different one than they have at room temperature. A slow cooling process allows it to transition from one to the other (thus having a nice, aligned and soft structure), while a quick quench "freezes" the "wrong" cristalline structure in place, leading to tension in the metal and thus hardness.
I presume that silver takes on the same structure anywhere below it's melting point, so rapidly cooling down just keeps the softer, realigned structure in place.
Though that last part is an educated guess, as an engineer I can talk a lot about steel, but didn't learn much about precious metals.
@@rockyblacksmith Not doing any research and shooting from the hip I feel then if the quench does nothing other than cool it down then wouldn't it be better to allow it to slowly cool and start working it while it still has some heat because I feel whatever potential for distortion you would encounter would easily be compensated for with a softer mallet/strikes which could potentially reduce the overall distortion compared to working it cold but if nothing else allow for greater precision with the material while requiring less energy and preventing fatigue from causing certain mistakes.
@@ronmcqueen4284 Working the metal while it's hot would require less force, true. But that is offset by the fact that handling a hot piece of metal is far more cumbersome than handling it at room temperature.
And having worked with silver since writing my previous comment, I can tell you it's pretty soft as is, so there is no real need for working it hot.
Everyone is making coin rings with these ring tools that press the coin instead of the old fashioned way of just using a spoon. I have made several coin rings using just a common table spoon. It requires a silver coin and there will not be any of the original coin image left on the outside though. This method was the way people made wedding bands in the old days. You just tap the edge of a silver coin with the spoon. It will slowly bend the silver and when you get it to the width you want, you drill out e middle and polish it. It takes a long time, but you only need a spoon and a drill.
Jonathan Campbell quicker with a small hammer lol
can you make a video of this?!?!
Jonathan Campbell you are correct sir. Everyone is using these CoinRing tools to make rings these days. NOBODY is using a spoon and a month to make CoinRings these days. Sure, I’ve tried it. Realized after 2 hours and not much progress, I need to buy some tools
Kormatoes I have used a chasing hammer to make it go faster, but it is difficult to keep it round and even.
Robert Butcher There are advantages to using the spoon method: 1) It is an incredibly annoying and passive aggressive way of driving a roommate crazy 2) It is the only way to get the words from both sides of the coin to appear on the inside of the ring. 3) Other than drilling out the middle, it requires no tools except a spoon. 4) It is a labor of love just from the sheer amount of time spent tapping the coin and shaping it. 5) The smooth outside can be engraved and the inner portion between the words of the coin can be engraved. Of course the disadvantages would be 1) It is incredibly annoying to tap the coin for months 2) It isn’t feasible to make a ring this way for profit.
Thank you SO much for making this video!
Thanks, this is great for new people wanting to see how they like it with a lot less investment.
Freaking awesome. The artistic / engineering mind. I'd LOVE to be able to imagine and create like that!
This is really cool. How do you get a larger ring size? Do you need to start with a larger coin or is there a limit to what sizes can be made?
Put finished ring on the mandrel and tap the ring towards the larger end, stretching it. Use a wooden mallet. Turn ring 180 often.
I did the same thing as you, drilled a 10mm hole and sanded it with sandpaper. Do not use a hydraulic press. Because I do it myself, inch by inch. It's a unique ring. Thank you, your work is an inspiration.
Very nice of you work on the ring
At 4:00. Instead of tape, just drive four little nails into the wood around the quarter and it won't go anywhere.
Still has a tendency to spin when drilling
If you don't have a drill, and don't have a friend with a drill, then maybe they guys with the drills don't want YOU as a friend :)
Awesome! I think I can do this with what I have at home, I'm going to give it a shot.
That’s a good hobby. I enjoyed watching it.
Here is a good one for a laugh... Back in 2006' I was cleaning a box store parking lot on 3rd shift. I found a round piece of metal that was 1/4 inche thick. I decided to use it for a ring,
(Maybe I started the fad of steel rings 😋). Years later I found out that it was a part of a craftsman socket wrench. I finally got the right cleaners to polish it. I forgot how heavy it was, I had an itch on the back of my head and I went and hit the back of my head, good thing it was at night, I let out a yell of pain that could be heard over the entire parking lot! 😋 I still have the "ring".
looks like an 1-1/2" EMT Set Screw Coupling
Looks like someone cut a 2 inch EMT coupler in half lol.
@@robertkywildcats9266 It's 1-1/2". It is marked on the coupling.
Wow ! I'm so impressed with your limitless knowledge ! You have proven how superior your intellect is to everyone else !
This was amazing thank you
i have been looking for a hobby to start putting my free time in and found one of your videos out of the blue and have been watching all your videos for about a week now and just bought a few tools from amozon and jasons work and look forward to pursuing this great craft just wanted to say thanks for being so informative and im subbing to your channel looking forward to seeing more of your videos and starting my own rings
Right on I'm glad you are getting value out of the videos!
It's a 1-1/2-in Set Screw Conduit Coupling
costs a couple bucks.
Cast........they make steel ones as well. DD
Ok, you've earned a new subscriber for simply having ska jazz "elevator" music.
I have no idea how I got to this video but it was very interesting. Took me back to 1982 metal shop.
A propane grill will also work instead of a torch. Wrap some wire around the coin and hold it close to the burner. Doesn't get hot quickly but it's a somewhat common item.
Thanks for the video, quick question: what was the expensive tool that was replaced? Apologies if that was explained in the video, I am still learning.
I totally agree! So the drill makes sense because that's a lot cheaper than some expensive press. But i guess according to this dude everyone has some expensive drill bit, some expensive random sizer and dyes laying around that sizer thing that gradually gets bigger as you go down the shaft i dont have one nore would i even be able to guess where to find one
You guys are kidding.... You're expecting to do this with no tools? Pray for an increase in minimum wage.... You're both obviously going to need it. My nephew makes these. He's in Middle School. He works at small jobs and generally buys his tools without asking anyone for anything.....
@@nothankyou5524, ha ha ha go flaunt your riches elsewhere. As for no tools no idiot i have basic tool wrenches, sockets, screw drives, punches, and some power tools as well as for your son im sure he has alot more to spend on tools then a divorced father of two. With two children that he has to pay child support on. You know being that hes a child who lives with mommy and daddy and eats their food, no rent, no real expenses?! Yeah thought so shut your mouth and consider not everyone has the cookie cutter life like you my kids lived in some of the wrost neighborhoods you can think of maybe you might have heard of some of them Ferguson mo. The "warzone" nm. We went to bed hearing gun shots and sirens your little bastard probably lived in a mansions in Hollywood or that really nice castle in the middle of the woods. Moral being yes I am poor yes I may not have an extensive tool collection like how you probably do. But I don't sit there and criticized anyone who was not brought up my way and try to make other people feel bad for being poor.
The moment when you hope it's a old video, and it isn't so you have to wait for the new video to make a size 11 😑
So cool and creative. Ty for making this video sir
Dude that was Crazy! You have serious talent!
I don't have the other tools. Just the hammer and the coin
You don't need a ring sizer you can use a drift pin. And the unibit he uses can be picked up anywhere. Harbor freight puts them on sale every couple of months
you can make a coin ring with just a coin and spoon. I have made one before. google it.
Check with the shop teacher at your local high school, they might lend a hand with some of it.
4:48 - Or, you could just throw it away and start over and get the hole right the first time. It's a quarter, for heaven's sake. ;-) LOL
Or you could just make it out of something that doesn't put you at risk of committing a federal crime for destruction of federal property. Filming the destruction of US money and posting a video of committing a felony is just stupid.
@@davidulmer9774 lol. Sad, but true. But, he's just offsetting inflation cause by Biden's massive $1.9T paper money print. It's only a quarter, but every little bit counts. lol
@@robertzeurunkl8401 True. It is still, but seriously I was just joking around.
@@davidulmer9774 Yeah, I totally understand. ;-)
Always wondered how this was done. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻
But this isn't how it's done lol
@@stephanieo6252 looks like 1 way. I'll have to check out a different way.
Clamping a coin: use 2 large flat washers or two small flat pry-bars. Place them overlapping on opposite sides on the edges of the coin (also lying flat). Clamping the washes/pry-bars clamps the coin down and won't interfere with drilling. You can still use tape as padding on the coin.
"Bendable" is that the same thing as "pliable?"
With metal it's usually called malleable.
Watched this video a week ago made 5 of them and already sold them for $20.00 each. Dam I just check out your website I sold them way to cheap.
Right on! I started out selling mine for $15 each so you're doing great.
LOL! I've watche so manay of these instructionnal videos & THIS, by far is the most entertaining - well done!!
I may just try with the mandrel technique I live in New Zealand so things are expensive to import....thanks for the video😊
Very interesting! Nice ring!!! Hello from Russia!!!
Очень интересно! Красивое кольцо!!! Привет из России!!!
Doesn't quenching harden the metal? That's what I was taught.
Steel, yes. Non ferrous metals, no :)
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint Annealing is done to relieve the hardness of cold working. Just as it is being done in ferrous metals, by subjecting the alloys to heat at a specific temperature and then allowing it to cool slowly to room temperature. the slow cooling allows full precipitation of the constituents and produces a refined microstructure.
You are tempering the metal when quenching.
awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I absolutely love your coin rings. How do you get them so intrique?
I thought there was no "fancy tools". What's that fancy "C" shaped clamp device that was clamping thing down.
It's a bar clamp, they're like $8-$12 or less. You could use vice grips or pliers or your foot. Use your imagination for tool selection and not snarky questions.
After re-reading, I realized you may be joking, if so, well done!
LMAO
HA!!!
@@prescottmajette5290 I thought you really were mad about me asking.
I didn't know quenching was a part of annealing.
Or is it just me?
Only in this video.
I was taught 55 years ago that to anneal copper washers you had to heat it to cherry red and let it cool naturally. Have I been doing it wrong all these years?
@@colincrooky
Nope
With some metals if you quench too soon after heating the metal will get brittle and sometimes crack 🤷
@@RedRedux
Annealing is the reverse of hardening.
No quenching! Slow cooling.
Omg! This is the coolest shirt I've seen in a long time! I have been a hobby crafter for over 30 years, uugghh am I really that old? Lol

haha, please change caption to "Making a Pro Coin Ring WITH Expensive Tools".... you are using Jason stuff.
38 dollars for the die, and 38 dollars for the anvil.. Thats the only 2 jason products he used.. so 76 dollars.. i be you spent more than that on dinners last month.
its only expensive because you cant see how this benefits you more than eating out or going to the bar. Once you have these 2 you can do rings and sell them which then they become FREE tools.
@@N0body247 Since 76 dollars isn't much for you, would you mind sending me the tools on your expense. Thank you so much.
@@PeterWraaeMarino Or you can figure out a way to adjust your spending and save enough to make that purchase.
you dont have an income problem you have a budget problem. You have a computer.. im sure it cost more than 76 dollars, phone... same thing.. The only difference is.. this makes you money. They others just make life easy.
76 isnt much.. when you realize you have other stuff that costs more.
Maybe sell the computer and buy the tools.
Prob solved. you either want to make money.. or make excuses.. you cant do both.
Anieling is when you let it cool down very slowly from the heat and let the grain structure relax.... you literally just did the opposite and tempered it.. and made it harder....
G'day Adam, It depends on the metal that's being treated. Steels are hardened by heating up to red and then quenching, but on copper, and it's alloys (Brass etc), it has the opposite effect making it very soft. It's how you treat copper and brass sheet for making hammered hollow ware. Cheers :)
Wow! That is amazing! How is the detailed maintained with all the pounding?
Soft material on the mallet head (rawhide) for the initial shaping. Lubricant and a specialty shaped die for the reducing. During the step with the anvil in the tube, most of the force was on the top/bottom so the sides stay clean.
I can actually say I'm loving your videos cool this one speaks making a coin ring without fancy tools lovely video 👍👏❤️✌️😁
The coupler is a great idea, but if you dont have the die, what then lol
Then what?
Are you kidding me, I'm about to make a forge shop from tools I'm buying from pawn shops. So if people really want to they can.
Thanks for posting of how to make a ring out of a coin without any press. It gives me an idea now of how to make a ring for myself. Again thanks....
Pretty cool Man, thanks for sharing
"Making a Pro Coin Ring Without Expensive Tools
" Literally uses several tools only craftsmen have in their garage.
And doesn't know how to anneal metal. He quenched it in water which is how you lock the hardness to anneal it you have to cool it slowly.
He doesn't use any specialty tools, just shit you have in your dad's garage. Not really sure why you're made as it's pretty much impossible to do any kind of craftsmanship like this without tools.
@@haven1048 I don't think many people have the resizing die.
I guess “expensive” tools is relative.... those dies he has are over $100... just to make coin rings!!! Smh
Man, that turned out really good!
Jason Works Die 38 dollars
Coin Anvil 38 dollars
( personally i would say just buy the "mint" Starter kit at 106 dollars Your spending 72 on just those 2 pieces)
Home Depot Torch 20 dollars
two cheap hammers lets say 20 dollars
Set Screw Coupler was 2.48
Ring Mandrel 14.00
Slush fund for odds and ends 20.00
So basically 200 dollars to start a new business or hobby.
Knowledge of learning a new skill and craftsmanship to make money.... Priceless.
So... You pretty much failed at making a ring without specialized tools.
Expensive vs specialized....umm; okay class, whoever finds the difference 1st gets a smiley face sticker...go!
@@DanKoning777 yeah... But since he used a specialized, AND (his words) expensive die at the end of the video to size the goddamn thing...
You... can go fuck your hat. 👍
Way to make a ring that would only fit a 10 year old girl
I just checked out his site.
His ring prices are very good. I have seen plain steel rings go for $100- $200. I seen one that I am very interested in and as soon as I get the money, I'm ordering. If I tryed to make one I would mess it up big !
Very interesting video made it lookreally! simple
Parabéns curto muito seu trabalho aqui do Brasil
Man that is so cool I would love to have one of them rings
Hi! I enjoyed the video! Just a few things that confuse me. When you anneal ferrous metals you heat till it's cherry red then let it cool slow. Non ferrous metals can be quenched when annealing? Will it work ether way? Why do you anneal it more than once? Thanks!
Looks like an 1 1/4” EMT setscrew coupling. Those are the super-cheap, cast zinc (? pot metal of some sort) ones, they’re really cheesy and brittle. I bet something stouter, like a stainless or high-carbon rigid pipe coupling (I’m not a pipefitter, I’m an electrician, so I’m not sure what exactly to call them. They’re heavy-walled and smooth, they weld on) might work better and for longer.
The easiest way to mark a cut line on a piece of tubing, or conduit connector, is to wrap a piece of card stock around the tube and adjust it so that the overlapping straight edge lines up. Draw along the straight edge with a mechanical pencil and your registration mark will be perpendicular.
Me gustó el vídeo porque muestra que si se puede hacer un anillo de este tipo sin el troquel y sin la prensa hidráulica ni todas esas herramientas tan costosas que no todos tenemos y que en países diferentes a USA no son fáciles de conseguir así se tengan los recursos para comprarlas. Muchas gracias.
Thanks for the tips. How do you determine the initial drill hole size?
It’s all based on looks. I generally use 1/2” on halves and quarters.
Nicely done....
I'd love to do this but I'm just curious if there is any tool that I could substitute for the mandrel? Thanks
Thanks a lot ~ this is very interesting and useful!!❤
Very cool. Thank you
this was a GREAT video!! very cool......nice job
