GoThunder Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 4:48 pm It looks like the saw was made with all 90% silver. I think that is safer to weld together as far as breathing the fumes. Edited by GoThunder 07/30/2011 4:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

OK so here we go again with someone about to call the Coin Police. I've always wondered if there are different Coin Police for each denomination. I wonder if that tapy measure really works and to what scale. Really something to hang on a wall. Thanks for the link to her web site. Wonder if I could get her to make me a car like that.

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 07/31/2011 5:27 pm These tools (see photos in the first post in this thread) are much fancier than the tool a friend of mine once made from a coin (and a handle). Here's a bit of trivia, first. Did you know that the battery-cover slot on the bottom of many Japanese-made film cameras (and other devices, like transistor radios) is sized to admin a one-yen aluminum coin? His idea was to cut a slot in the end of a short length of dowel rod, insert a one-yen coin, and epoxy it to the handle, resulting in a battery cover removal tool. Yeah, I know. It just doesn't have the same appeal as do those other tools. But I bet it got used more often! Report this Post to the Staff

GoThunder Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 10:50 am Looking at the pics of her studio ( http://staceyleewebber.com/STACEY_L.../studio.html )gives one clues to her processes It looks like she cleans the pennies up before brazing, the filler metal is whitish (maybe silver solder? ), she appears to use some real objects as a base (like the shovels), she then artificially tones the pennies or maybe even uses a stain and varnish type coloring process. I can't figure out what some of those machines do, like the tub with little white balls and electrical wiring coming out of it, or the rotating drum thingy I love the huge anvil and the old industrial district location.

GoThunder Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 11:17 am The only thing I've come up with on the tub with white balls is maybe its for inlaying silver through electrolysis. Edited by GoThunder 08/01/2011 11:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188660 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 5:17 pm I am on the fence here. While this stuff is beautiful, coins were destroyed to make it!
