What a marvelous idea. I do wonder about the fine silver finish. How do you keep it polished without letting the black show since you could not retumble the finished piece?
Have you tried using a Chicago screw a.k.a. a barrel screw? They come in solid brass which I think you could solder to the silver coin and it would make it all so easy because then they screw together. I have never tried that but I would like to.
Soham, quick question on another topic. I would like to set a princess cut facetted stone in simple step bezel. can you please share the calculation for both outside and inside bezels?
A born teacher. Well taught as usual. Thank you
Beautiful! thx Soham

Hi, I'm a beginner leather worker. Are there conchos with longer stems so you can use them like a rivet?

Wonderful, thank you so much! You HAD to have been a professor;
Could you please let me know how to spell the part you solder on and where I can buy them. It sounded like you said shaneer.
chenier is french for tubing. bought at riogrande.com, and cut to length.

thx soham..guess i should have paid closer attention in geometry class lol
Where did you get the round dolly and the wooden base from ? are they purchased or made ?
you can just use a 2" tow ball, but the wooden block is from rio grande
you are correct in that it would be better if it were an interference fit, and the longer setting time epoxy is stronger.
just add the length and width times 2 for the outer, and the inner will be minus the thickness of the metal times 2
