Hoosier Hammered Ring

[Hoosier]

Just had to show everyone my first attempt at a double sided ring from a 1930 British Penny I found . It's not very easy but it gives me something do to with the ground frozen

Hoosier,
I first thought you were posting up that painted bird band you were giving your wife for Christmas.
Happy Hoosier Holidays.

Woody,
I was looking at your links and both are for the smooth outside style rings a total different technique. The coin world article shows photos of two sided rings which cannot be made with the instructions they have in the article. Great instructions for the smooth outside faced style though. After finishing the smooth style you should have details inside the ring much like the two sided rings.

Yes I noticed that too later, looked later at the other link, Bob makes wonderful and much better coin rings! Sure seems like a lot of work!

I ended up getting her the real thing. I'm buttering her up for a new Tesoro. She had no clue I used my new steel ring sizer that I've been using for my two sided coin rings to get her ring size. I was sweating bullets the UPS man delivered her new ring at 4:30PM yesterday ! I would of been a dead man without a XMAS gift! I was about ready to go to Walgreens and look for something

Classic!!! I'm glad the boys in brown showed up in time.
Good luck with that new Tesoro. Perhaps saying, "honey, you look fabulous wearing that new ring" may work?
