gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 5:24 pm Quote: How is the silver dollar ring coming a long? well I'm trying lol. the tapping is getting to the wife so I am not allowed to do it inside anymore i have worked on it a couple more hrs yesterday and will more shortly tonight when I start up the BBQ ,just not enough of a difference from my last post but will post more pics soon as it begins take shape a little more, it should take longer than the 50c piece as it is thicker and will require more whacks to get the desired shape Report this Post to the Staff
Liverpool Pillar of the Community Canada 576 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 6:14 pm cool A little late for advice and I'm not sure if it has any value but the rings I made were with American silver (90%) and some old pre war stuff at 92.5. My thinking was the purer the silver the softer / easier it would be to work. Report this Post to the Staff

gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 9:08 pm ok approx, 4 hrs more into this and you can see the beads are now up the rim and the letters are starting to bend up towards the rim Report this Post to the Staff
llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 9:39 pm Very cool looking great! When will you decide enough is enough and drill and polish the thing? I never considered using a dollar since it would end up with a pretty wide band, no? Report this Post to the Staff

I never considered using a dollar since it would end up with a pretty wide band, no? not with my fingers as I have huge fingers, I wont be drilling out the center as it would waste too much silver Report this Post to the Staff

Kellikae Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 3:19 pm That's my birth year. I'm very excited to see this ring revealed!! Report this Post to the Staff
gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 10:29 pm ok about 6 more hours and I'm getting close unfortunatly I'm not sure if its gonna fit I may need to use a Morgan dollar after all but we will see. I have included a ring (size 7) for comparison just to show how big my hands are lol its getting a nice wide rim which is what I wanted but it might have to be a pinky ring ,we will see, maybe I can stretch it Report this Post to the Staff
