Spiral Coin Cut - Great Beginner Design
« on: May 08, 2014, 01:06:18 pm »
Most of the patterns I've posted here haven't been the best choice to start into coin cutting.  This was fun pattern to cut, but doesn't have a lot of drilling, which is great to begin with.  The coin does heat up because of the design (long thin pieces don't have anywhere for the heat to dissipate), so you will need to stop when the coin start warming up, else the pattern will start to come off.  (When the patterns do lift, I use superglue to re-attach, then soak in acetone when finished).

Good morning Randy. Thank you for the p.m. According to "This to That" Lepage's Metal Epoxy and J-B Weld might be the solution to gluing paper to metal. Without looking at the MSDS sheets or chemical components the question is one of dissolving the glue residue. It may be as simply as soaking in something readily available at the hardware store. I'll let you know. Cheers, Barry.

For better balance, I move the hole around.  I tweaked the pattern a little more since this cut.

very nice, hotshot--I like the up dated version best--I first saw coin cutting at the Illinois State Fair back in about 1955 or so--have always been amazed by it ever since--thanks for sharing--Richard

What blade do you use?

For this project, I used a 4/0 Jewelers Blades.  I usually buy from http://www.sloanswoodshop.com.  2/0 would have worked also and is a bit more durable.  If you prefer Flying Dutchman, Mike sells a 3/0 Jewelers which are also good.
