Most of my orders are pretty general and leave me with a lot of room to interpret but this guy was extremely specific. no tools other than hand tools to be used which suits me fine. The finished product had to look good but primitive. I had fun but realized I need an anvil if I'm going to do this kind of work regularly.   |

Could you use solder? Otherwise, how would it stay together for any length of time?

I used solder but only for the bail the cross will hold together no problem the weave keeps everything in place

Fascinating. This would definitely go in my exonumia collection if I came across one.

That's an amazing and unique talent you have! Verry nice piece Question; does the "Customer" supply the coins? I'm asking because I may PM ya to discuss having you make one as a gift for my wife. (Not a Christmas gift)  |

I prefer to supply the coins that way I don't destroy something that has a significant numismatic value. But as with the guitar pick sometimes people bring me coins to use.
