Using the Hell Out of a Corded Drill: How to Make a Ring Out of a Coin, When Safety is of No Concern
Seriously he didnt do anything dangerous that most of us haven't done in a pinch. Its not like he was putting his hands in a brake press or torch or using an open face rip saw (Ive actually had to throw a circa saw in a vice once w/ the full blade facing out). Anyway, beautiful project. Im amazed though that he didnt use a vice! It would've made it all go smoother and faster as it would have a built in anvil that would stay put. Kudos.
Just fine rouge.
As a silversmith, the part that made me cringe was all the silver he was wasting. I would collect the silver shards from the drill and dust from the grinding stone to recycle. Also, there are other ways of making a ring from a coin that allow size variation and the design ends up on the outside.
Fingers like old leather!
Thanks,
Mike
