Gday mate, looks great! Will be ordering very soon mate along with a few other things. Take care mate. Will

Oh thanks!!! I can solve a project I have in mind

Tengo muchos videos de este tema pero este es uno de los mejores..muchas gracias...

I wanted to mention that when you are annealing metal, your goal is to "soften" it to make it easier to manipulate and shape. This happens when the metal is allowed to cool slowly, allowing the alignment of the molecules in the metal to become randomized. Imagine a box of needles dumped out so they are going every which way. When you quench or rapidly cool the metal, you are actually hardening it. The rapid cooling causes the molecules to align which makes the bond stronger. Imagine those same needles are now arranged in a north/south pattern. To properly anneal, heat the material up, and then let cool slowly, setting it aside some where safe. Just be careful though, even when metal appears to look cool, it can still be hot enough to inflict severe burns. Anyhow, just some friendly advice from an old blacksmith, take it or leave it as you will. Love the rings and keep up the beautiful work.

thank you

Where buy the tools brother pls.?

where can you buy the materials at ?

what a cool idea.....How about using a delrin, brass or wood dapping block with it? I had been using delrin daps but wished someone would just make balls instead. Do you have access to larger sizes say 1 3/8, 1 1/14, 1 1/8, in pairs? Thanks for the videos

Would you please send me the info and price on the hole punch ?

Is there any substitute to the press? For example: slowly hammering on the ball instead of the press

I thank your right. I kept heating a silver Dollar & putting it in water it just got harder. thank you very much.

How did you "slightly modify" your press to do what you're doing?

sounds great, but why worry so much about the "inside" of the ring, rather than the "show" side? Is the outside of the ring not being pressed medal to medal against the dome block?

Hola me podrías mandar las medidas , dimensiones y profundidades del cubo por fa soy de México gracias !!!!

what modifications have you done to the press

Do you thing it would work to use plain sockets from tools to make a coin punch holder

dose that 1 ton arbor press work on all size coins

Cool

This is a great way to start folding the coin, but sooner or later you will have to finish turning the coin, how do you do that without marring the coin? Is that where you would use the reduction dies?

You mention the benefit of not having metal-on-metal contact, but doesn't using the doming block itself put metal-on-metal on the more important (outside) part of the finished ring? I realize the point of this video is to maintain the inner detail, but are you sacrificing outer detail in the process?

The most inportant side is still metal on metal, this really does no better since the inside is not for looks.

Sorry I should have said coin ring center punch
