Really cool idea, Patrick. Big 👍 for you ;)
Best method I have seen! Nice!
what a lovelly ring! just fantastic! congratulations!
Great job. Nice videos.
Nice work!
Great idea! I made a double side one for quarters and half dollars.
Your videos are so fun to watch! This one struck me as a fun DIY option. I definitely don't have the tools for it, but it's still an intriguing demonstration - creating something awesome from something so ordinary :) Don't know if you're a "Parks and Recreation" TV show fan, but at the end of this video, I couldn't help but think of Ron Swanson creating those two rings from a light fixture sconce: "It's not rocket science. Any moron with a crucible, acetylene torch, and a cast iron waffle maker could have done the same. People who buy things are suckers."

Jacob Flores would cost next to nothing to get the tools, but I live in the uk our coins suck and I wouldn’t feel right with an American coin on my finger lol

What about Canadian currency? Our coins would look pretty snazzy as rings, especially the extinct penny.
Nice work!! New sub and I will be getting a ring. One made from a silver quarter or silver Kennedy half dollar would be great:)
another masterpiece....... man I wish I had the tools to make one, or even a paypal account to buy something from you :c but as always keep it up and I'll be in every vid of yours :)

Patrick Adair Designs ohhh btw what's the title o the song? can you link it? it's awesome
My mind can't wrap around the fact that it went from a mundane coin to such a cool ring.
Nicely done. Did you make that die (coin holder for your lathe). I would love to have something like that.
Cool and Satisfying ! . BTW what kind of Dremel like tool were you using ?
what’s the song name it’s so relaxing
Your insane with dem tools bro, much respect from the Netherlands. Keep it up! I would sent u a Euro anyday to create one :P You should create wedding and engagement rings. Your work is just....
What is that thing you use on the center hole of the coin after you remove it from the chuck?
So cool
man you are so cool Mr. Adair.......!!!
You should make some with copper & silver coins. Antique pennies work great
Well that's pretty cool :)
Great video as always. :D I would recommend using a beveler after the oxidation process it will make the inside bezel nice and shiny, plus you can get a beveling tool for about $5 US.

My bad deburring tool😂, I use a mechanical version rather than electric
i whould love to make a request if th as fine
Your a pretty sharp guy Pat . Im surprised you went for that glue it the adapter thing . Thin the adapter , Split it all the way though . Split 2 more equally spaced places 7/8ths of the way through . It will collapse on your coin in your three jaw and you can save the glue for your other stuff . Which is very freaking cool .
How much are ring stretchers?
Rich Patrick Spinning dat, need me a buffalo wing nap, just last night bought a coin ring thats phat!!!!!!!
Can I sell a silver coin ring at a pawn shop for more than the cost in silver?
I like the video, but what if you want to make a ring for someone who doesn't have giant fingers? Can you show how to make one smaller?
Can you etch or coat these with anything interesting? Could you possibly put something on both edges to make it look more unified? Also, could we send you a coin and let you work your magic with minor detail requests?

There's a lot of ppl on Etsy that will do that for 25-50 bucks
It's a nice handcrafted ring! Try to make a ring with poker cards :D
Awesome man! Are you heating the metal up and dropping it in water to anneal it?

Oh so the heating softens it immediately. I heard somewhere that the rapid cooling is what softens it and that confused me. It makes more sense now when you said it lol

I'm new into coin ring making, I'm practicing with clad coins but if I make a ring as nice as yours how much should I sell it for? out of a quarter that is.

I sell regular clad, copper, and bronze coins from all over the world for $30 CAD each, $50 CAD each for silver. I hope this helps even though it's a year late lol.
How much is it a coin ring?

Hot tip. If you put a piece of business card around the mandrel before you stretch the ring to size you will preserve the markings on the inside.

Your videos are inspiring me to make a memorial ring using your techniques to include some ashes from some beloved pets that have crossed into the glow powder. I think it would make a powerful effect.

Do you sell your rings ?

why does your fingerblacked when wearing these rings?
Caution: a silver quarter (pre 1965) cannot be heated as hot as the composite coins - it distorts the surface. Found out the hard way. Just heat it until it starts showing a little pink (with the lights off).

T Boyd Moore a neat trick is to mark it with a sharpie before annealing and remove it from the heat when the ink disappears.
Hi! You don't need that holder for the late :) try one coin whit out it.

No, put the coin in the same place you put your special holder :) don't know the name for it on the late but in the "jaws". I always do that.

Don't worry about that. Don't do it so hard and you only need to file or sanding a little one the tiny marks (if you will have som)
can you actually make a ring that yo can place names on?

Bram Mediante on his website you can order custom rings or have one of his rings engraved with whatever you want
If that ring doesn't cost 25 cents then I'm rebelling.
That wasn’t a mule coin was it?
Good job man. Don't take this the wrong way, you make some cool stuff and all but that's a pretty big stretch to call that "the machinist way".... I mean you're running a Chinese mini lathe with the fixture running out about 50 thou in the chuck there. I have a 15HP VMC, 5'x10' cnc burn table and two 10hp 20" lathes that I've been running for a lil over 5 years now and I would not yet call myself a true machinist. That's not a title you just pick up. Please take no offense to this, just being honest. Keep up the good work!

I am a professional machinist so I have an understanding of the definition, and yes he is technically a machinist as the definition of one is: a person who operates a machine, especially a machine tool. Another way to create a ring like this would be to hammer the outside of the coin then drill a hole, and dermal the internal out to desired size. This is good way to create such a ring.
