I bought my mum a pair of coins turned into a keyring from hers and my dad's year of birth but it wasn't fancy like that. I found it on my drive recently because she's broken it I like that sort of thing Gripper it got nice bit of sentimental value. Cheers Arry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 24,417 Posted Friday at 11:06 Author Report Share Posted Friday at 11:06 If any you guys have old silver UK coins before 1920 they where solid silver from 1920 till 1947 they where 50% silver after that I think is was a nickel alloy. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah well it's all a learning curve and I was only practicing and they turn out better than I thought they would. I used some grotty coins that took a lot of cleaning up but it gave them a sort of hammered affect that I quite like. Changed the fixing to the key ring with some scrap silver chain Wifey had think it looks a lot better. Cheers Arry. Did you first drill a hole then thread the saw blade through the hole? Did you do it free hand or mark out the patter first? Bloody good work whatever way you've done it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did them free hand and I am getting better at following the line lol. Theres a few on line of a similar theme but didn't like most, used ideas of sort of combo.

First proper job l had was as a jobbing jeweller. Trying to remove bits of broken saw blades from finger tips was never amusing Running the blade down a bit of wax makes it ( a bit) less likely to catch . I bet you probably know that though. . Also getting broken bits of blade out of the sockets on the saw. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would try solder or jewelry epoxy - holds great. Edited yesterday at 16:40 by Demirel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
