you're the only youtube channel that has actual helpful tips for ring making, while using minimal tools, ur amazing

Fencekid, you are sooo frigging cool! I've been sitting here for 2 hours watching your videos and I wasn't even looking to learn how to make rings! You should have your own show my friend!

Mate with out a doubt your the best coin ring maker on KZfaq

OMG fencekid, I watched your video with my mouth gaping. What a fabulous way to add the finishing touch to a coin ring. I'm still shaking my head in amazement. Wow. Thanks!

You're so awesome and creative. This is what I'm talkin' about: when someone REALLY makes something (not because they went and bought 1,000 bucks on new tools). This is right up my alley. Holla.

Very clever!-Out of all the videos on making double sided coin rings, this is the best- thanks fencekid!

Always enjoy fencekid's videos. Knows his stuff and comes across as down to earth, straight shooting type of guy.

What a great idea. I made my 4th ring tonight and it came out pretty good. Yours are still much better and thanks for the inspiration and motivation. My daughters and I are doing this together and it's a good project.

I'm loving the motion stopping effect with the voice-over! Something you didn't have in your earlier videos that I first saw that definitely does it's job to fit in here.

Made my first walking liberty silver half dollar ring today. The clad coin rings looked good, but man making the silver coin rings are what get you hooked! It's not prefect, but I'm proud to wear it. Thank you and Thanks for your videos. Chris M.

Thank you very much for the clear demonstration. It is good to see there are people like you out there, Jolly good show old chap.

You are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your craft. There is a tendency, these days, to keep trade secrets (even in my craft of songwriting), and I am always grateful to run across folks who share. Keep it up Kid!

Very cool rings! I love the simplicity and your presentation. Very easy to follow along. Thanks for sharing!

Great tutorial....I've been looking for someone to show how to reduce the sizing. Everyone else is looking to sell you reduction dies which cost a fortune. Thank you for this great tip. Will be trying it tomorrow. Keep up the good work.

Good video. Been making coin rings for a few months now and already had the domming block and was waiting to get a press never thought of using a vise, good idea. Thank you

Tried one of these rings last year and was irritated by the raised side and couldn't get it to co-operate. What a fantastic idea! The only tool that you used that I didn't have at the time was your imagination...so I subbed and now heading back downstairs to try it again. Thanks! Beautiful Rings!

tks for sharing folding ends with dome, vice and all your tricks

This guy really likes His rings..He's got em on every finger.

Baggins the dog! Loving these videos. Just the best.

Great verbal and visual explanation! Thanks for this most useful tip.

Another great tip mate, just started making these in Australia with our coins. You've taught me heaps mate, thanks very much for your help and time 👍

Short and sweet. Thanks Fencekid.

AWESOME! Thanks for the great vids.

Beautiful. I'm going to try it out this afternoon. Thanks.

You've made more than a great ring, you've made another subscriber!

wasn't really looking for this but found it anyway - awesome; brilliant - simple direct empirical skills - gotta try it right away!

I just happened to run across your videos by accident. I'm not even sure how, because I didn't even know this artform existed. I do enjoy silver coins though. Now, I'm totally interested in doing this myself. Thank you for the inspiration!

yes very cool finishing touch

Great technique! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you Dave for the beautiful ring, now you have sold one of your beautiful rings to a Dane from Denmark, Europe. I will try to get hold of a American Silver Eagle or Canadian Silver Maple and I will cause you to make a fingerring of one of them if I can find a copy that is uncirculated. Thanks again for finger ring, I can only highly recommend Dave coin rings. Greatings from Denmark - The Stig

Excellent tutorial. Thanks from Rio de Janeiro.

Thanks! I WAS about to buy a shop press-this will work perfect! Great video!

Great videos. Picked up a couple tips to try with the doming block.

haha i just love listening to you for some reason! you say the funniest things! great video!

Thanks for a great DIY. You rock!

Your the man!! Thanks for the info. You make it fun to watch too!!

Thank You so much for all the great videos on making coin rings. You gave me the confidence to finally order a mandrel and today I made my first ring out of a quarter. Keep up the good work man, the only bad part is that now I want to buy the punch and die set and the rounding block so I can make them just like yours.

Thank you for this video! It was really helpful. I've been considering buying an arbor press to achieve these results, but was really needing a visual example to see how it would work.

WOW! We love you FenceKid!!!! Now saying that.....I just bought a 6 ton press for $80 at harbor freight....I could have saved.......$ since I have everything you have....but the brain power! lol

This is really cool man, thanks for posting these videos! I've been wondering how this was done... now I know! :)

Awesome !Thanks for posting !

thanks, great instructions, I did see something that would help, tape the coin into the dapper block with scotch tape first, that way you are centered and all you have to line up is the socket plunger.

Love your videos

Sir, You rock! Thanks for the info!!!

That's so cool! I'm definitely showing your videos to my husband so he can make me one, or two or seven lol

Thanks I will try this one....Nice Work

Your videos are fun to watch :D What Camera are you using, the Zoom quality is impressive.

I am new to this and want to start makinf rings . I love your methods

Another great video! The vise is actually the method I've been using. I didn't have an arbor press, but had a vice. It works well! I was thinking about mounting a vice vertically so that it's easier to align. My last half dollar ended up too small, but a few hits with the PVC pipe on the mandrel opened it up without losing the curved look.

THANK U FOR THE INFO....................I LOVE IT ......I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE MY OWN COIN RING, BUT I KNEW THAT THERE HAD TO BE AN EASIER WAY TO DO IT.........THANKS NYC

great job man

very insightful,thank you.

Well done! Thank you!

Thank you Sir for this, I started creating my rings anout 3 months ago and the main complaint I was getting is what my family called the DOG BOWL EFFECT of the ring. I cant now tell them all to bit me...lol. I just bought the vise which I needed one anyways and have the dapping block. I hope it goes well. Thanks again.

Bet a small arbor press would work good also. Love your videos, keep them coming. Very close to trying my own coin ring shortly.

Thanks for the tip here! Just started to make coin rings and just made my first this afternoon not perfect by far but was trying to do that to my first ring with the block set and not working thinking 🤔 I need another set of blocks for this then I see your video and think awesome need to watch many more and ya I subscribed forsure. Also I am in the process of making a stand that I can set a bottle jack in to press vertically shouldn’t be to difficult and I will make a video of how I do it should work awesome! 😎 Thanks again!

I've been looking to do this, and i'm glad I have a press

Again, very nice!

way to go!! love the idea

I never see the links you say you share. Usually you point to under the video. I'm particularly interested in your polishing method & you mentioned using baking soda after the liver of oil. Didn't see or hear anymore about that to stall the liver oil. BTW; U do some great works of art. Greg West, KY

4:40 Wow, I can really see that !!! XD

Cool rings Fencekids , I love the curve you give to the ring , could you do a video on how to make a Morgan dollar ring with the same technical procedure , thank you !!!!

Great video. However, I'd set the vise up at a 90 degree tilt from how yours is so, so that the vise heads are top and bottom so that gravity isn't always wanting to tip the ring off center. Just thinking. Nonetheless, great advice. Thanks again!

I’m going to try that thanks.

That is really awesome; subbed ma man.

Tried it with one of the state quarter rings and wasn't successful. Basically the ring kept wanting to distort, as in become an oval instead of ring. I used it on a copper ring that is thinner and with much care was able to get a beautiful domed ring. Thanks for the video.

If you do, you're loving it. Great.

Hey man makes some more videos me and my friends are loving your work

omg, fencekid, thankyou so so much Ive been doing these rings for a year now and couldnt figure how to get rid of that nasty flanged end. I love this doming effect. my boyfriend is off to get me a decent vice as my jewelers vice is a little piece of crap. thank god Ive got all the other tools. my walking liberty is gonna ROCK! and yes Ive tried hammering on the doming block and yes... ITS A BITCH! thanks man, youre brilliant!

I have to agree with some of the comments below. Use an arbor press instead of a vise. It can be very tricky getting the ring centered "just right" and if you're off a little bit the ring will be destroyed. [edit] Maybe destroyed isn't the right word but you'll be doing a lot of work to get it back to the shape that you want.

Cheers mate!

просто супер!!!!! из серебра можно тоже сделать!или например из золотой монеты !!!!!мастер молодец !!!!лайк !

Excelent..! I enjoy so much... Very good and interesant explained... CONGRATULATIONS...! Muy Bueno Como Pocos..!!!

great Video my friend but should be good if you provide where exactly you get the dapping block thank you .👋🏻✌🏻👍

That was awesome I never did that before a coin ring I sure hope I have the strath to do that

BTW...smaller size, smaller holes and dapping hole?

just a suggestion, put some clay in the bottom of the form to hold the ring steady so you can stop the ring from moving while you put the socket on.

Nice job. Would solve my worry about taking up very limited space availible to me by buying a press.

Wow, thank you.

great video's

I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thanks so much. Do you sell coin rings?

Hey, thanks dude. I love making jewelry and this ring is the bomb! Great share. Can't wait to try this! =)

Hi. Thanks for posting these videos. I saw in a different video that you annealed the ring to make it softer and easier to work with. Can you harden it again when you are finished shaping it ? Will the hardening process be too hot and damage the ring? Is hardening it again even necessary? I would like to make a ring and have it last a long time without slowly wearing the surface designs off. Thanks

Nice dog

Hi Fencekid, Opa Grobbebol coming at ya from New Zealand :-) . Just what size dome do you use for the half dollar. My ring stretcher/reducer compression plate does not go up to the half dollar size. Would you still be able to size up the half dollar? Cheers, Opa

very talented (y)

Hello from Canada, can you tell me the name of the things you use to pop out the center of a coin, Thanks Peter

what set is your dapping block? (and i assume doming punches). it looks like a 2", but i don't want to buy the wrong one off ebay. there are some really different and small sets on ebay, and amazon both.

muy buen video, excelente trabajo, lamento no hablar inglés para captar mejor cómo se hace.

Good afternoon, my friend, I'm Brazilian, I bought some dice to make this kind of coin ring, I would like to know what the diameter of this dumbbell you put on the die is 13/16?

I'm waiting on my nylon hammer to get in from the mail. I'm excited to make some rings. One I get good I think I'll get the domeing block. Great videos man. By the way, where do you buy your silver coins?

you rock!

I LOVE IT!

What a wonderful idea! Is there anyway can you make me a ring with the coin of 1960? Would love to buy from you. Thank you in advance

I wanted to know how this is done...thank you thank you thank you

Would you still be able to make the ring larger on the mandrel, or would it straighten the edge out too much?

Would an arbor press work and be more stable for this, and possibly even punching?

Hello I really liked your work, I'm also trying to make rings of old coins, I would like to know where I can buy this steel die with these holes, I'm from Brazil, if you can guide me I thank you very much, Thank you, Fernando

Do you have a rough guide as to the diameter you should punch depending on the desired size outcome?

Hey brother, what size doming block are you using. Is it a max 1.5" or 2". Thanks God Bless David
