So many people commenting about how inefficient this is as an actual coin sorter. May I remind you that THIS IS A TOY for my son, not a prototype coin sorter for the Federal Reserve. Relax! LOL! But if you read the description, I did mention that in a future video I may make a hopper and a gear-driven loader for coins. We'll see if I get around to it. Lots of other videos to work on!

I would love to make one like this! The only problem is, in Australia, we have the 50 cents coin being a polygon and it doesn’t roll very well. I remember my older brother used to make models for me at Christmas presents when I was too little to do it myself... I absolutely enjoyed watching my brother at work, and seeing the bits and pieces slowly and gradually coming together on his workbench... The best gift you can give to a kid. Thank you once again.

I know you said this is a toy, and it's a great one for the kids, and while I was watching the video I was trying to figure the best way to put a piece of Plexiglas on it to stop the coins from possibly going everywhere (like at the end of the video LoL) and using short pvc tube for the coin to drop straight into the jar. Thank you for a great project and the inspiration. I'm thinking of making one of these for my nephew.

Don't worry about the negative comments. That fact that you created it and it does work... is impressive. I wasn't sure where you were going with the build, but it the end, it was quite fun to watch. Great job.

Nice use of the thin strip jig Drew. Cherry likes to split without a sharp blade. And the pencil eraser on the band saw for the close cut makes for a precise cut. Well done.

If you find yourself fighting a piece that wants to slip and slide around while clamping a glue-up, try adding a tiny sprinkle of table salt to the glue. Not a lot, just a dozen or so grains. You'll be amazed at how much of an improvement it can make! Another option is to apply two clamps below the spot you're working to use as a "rest" for the main piece.

Nice little build video, I like the ramp idea! If you haven't tried it already, get some 2p10 with activator and it will save you hours on a build like this. super cool stuff and they have a starter set for around 30 bucks on amazon.

I LOVE that you kept the the goodbye where the coins missed :) good work, looks fun!

I think hand sorting and dropping the coins into the jars would be quicker but then you'd miss out on the fun of them rolling. pretty neat, and simple, now all you need to build is a funnel with a rotor to rotate the coins into the slot.

@pneumatic00

7 жыл бұрын

You'll find that that aspect is hundreds of times more complicated than you might imagine. It is a completely different issue to be able to dump a big (or even medium sized) jar of coins into a hopper and have them come out one at a time versus feeding into a slot one at a time. Coins have several ways in which they can jam up and work with each other rather than cooperating with your wishes. The topic of and the physics of coin counters are....kind of interesting. Of course what you have is a sorter, not a counter.

@FishersShop

7 жыл бұрын

I know how I'd do it. The key to feed them one at a time is doable since 2 of the thinnest coins (dimes) still are thicker than 1 of the thickest coins (a nickel). A hopper with a star wheel at the bottom that pushes coins through a slot just thick enough for 1 nickel. I just may get around to making it but honestly it's pretty far down on the list.

@DanielleWhite

6 жыл бұрын

Gravity can assist as well if the star wheel is inclined and might help a potential jam situation - e.g. if the back edge of a nickle is resting a little on top of the wheel rather than fully in the slot the front edge may be able to get a bit into the slot. Totally overthinking this for the purpose, though, I know!

@pneumatic00

6 жыл бұрын

If you go and look at actual commerically made coin counters, no, you are not overthinking it, at least in terms of creating a real world functioning machine. There are a fairly serious lot of irritating problems dumping a big jar of coins into a hopper, having the coins come out one at a time, then sorting them. (Never mind counting them) It all seems so simple when you see a typical commercial machine working, even an older handcranked Klopp (which are great machines) apparently handling wads of coins with no big issues. But I can tell you, large numbers of coins piled on top of each other randomly can be phenomenally uncooperative. There are many many ways they can jam, they can have nicked edges or bits of sticky goop on them, or be bent. Or all of those. I happen to have a Cummins jetsort desktop machine that I got at an auction super cheap, not because I needed it, just because it was so cheap. And it is a completely fearsome machine. You can put 30 pound of coins through it, it will count & sort them in maybe a minute and change, and it will come up with the same count as many times as you put the coins through it.

nice job! well done! really enjoyed the video. I know this was probably mostly freehand stuff, but I'm a beginner when it comes to wood and including some measurements would have been nice.

@FishersShop

you could add to this and make a sorter at the top that operates with a hand crank so you don't have to drop one coin at a time in your project you can dump a entire sack of coins in.

Now for a screw, nut and bolt sorter.

Genius

I would recommend carving out an indentation so the main jars would fit more snug on the base

cool

Now you need a chute at the top, so you can feed in dozens of coins in one go, and have them all sorted by the device.

It'd be cool to route out the bottom where the jars are, so they'd always be in the right spot

Awesome, thanx👌

I often use salt for this. A few grains of ordinary table salt is enough. Don’t use too much because it dries the glue out. It’s well worth trying and having an old pill bottle (yes label removed) of salt in the workshop.

cool dude. I think it would be pretty sweet if you added funnels to it too. one leading into each jar so the coins can't fall out like they did at the end and one big one lining the coins into the slot to roll down so you could just poor a bunch in at once and have it take less time/labor. Over all though fantastic job. I do think a smooth clear coat wouldn't hurt though😜

Very good " and an imagination ....

I relize there are a bunch of haters in these comments but i have been stuck on a slightly more technologically improved version of an idea like this for weeks. All of my designs have some sort of flaw and then i came across your video. It is simply brilliant, but i have a couple of technical questions for you, i understand the main ramp is the thickness of a dime, how much taller or thicker are the triangles than the main ramp in order to get them to push the coins off? and can you take that angle gauge from your table saw and post the angle you made for both the main ramp and the board that the coins lean against? i think that hose two things would be tremendously helpful.

@FishersShop

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks gillespie! The ramp thickness has to be the thickness of a nickel since that's the thickest coin. The little triangles don't have to be so big because once the coin is moving, it doesn't take much to bump it off the ramp. In fact, the steeper the ramp is, the smaller the triangles have to be. As for the angle, I just played around with it until I found one where the coins would barely roll on their own (not sure exactly what that angle is). Thanks for posting and commenting!

@DanielleWhite

6 жыл бұрын

I am curious about one part of your design: what made you decide to bump the dimes off rather than let them run off the end? I do get that the style is probably better this way with all of the jars lined up. The reason I thought of this was a machine from when I was a kid - dairy farm kid but we also had chickens and sold eggs. The egg grader system we had thee scale stations on the track and dumped the eggs off at a right angle but ones lighter than the lightest scale were pushed off the end of the track to a separate bit of the table.

Love it!
