The lace one was out of this world beautiful. I wonder how it would look using some lace off of a wedding dress or veil? Plus I wouldn't want mine darkened either.
Absolutely fantastic! I have recently started making coin rings and your videos (and dies from Jason’s works) really helped me to create great masterpieces from the word go. Very impressed how your “jewellery making skills” has developed from coin rings to full on jewellery manufacturing from melting down all the way to a finished product. Never going to sell my silver shavings, keeping it for when I get to this skill level and tool wish list!
WOW what an amazing video i didn't know that's how you put texture patterns on rings. I find so much old silver rings on beaches and in water I'm really considering to melt them all down to make new ones like you.
Yep it'll look perfect. Love how you don't just stop at just making one thing there's always new ideas well my wife bought me a mini metal lathe and just can't wait to use a bit scared of the dam thing though lol anyway Merry Christmas to you and the family and have a safe New Year
Everytime I come back to your channel you got some fancy new toy you're playing with. I need to step up my game, if only to get me the same quality of big boy toys. What kind of silver solder do you use. I ordered some in a pack of easy, medium & hard. I am pretty sure I got screwed. It isn't solder. The silver started melting, and the "solder" hasn't changed other than some blackening that scraped off easily using my finger nail. I need a local buddy who knows what he's doing to help me when I'm being ... less than genius.
Great video! I made a ring on a jewellery course out of a £2 strip of Silver. I was surprised how little the raw material was for a ring that would retail at least 10x the price even for a mass manufactured one were they probably have a machine churning out thousands, not a custom hand made piece...
change you can wear i would love to send you pics of my work and the very rudimentary tools i use. i pride myself on how few tools i use and how quick i can produce one. i use a stove to anneal, welder pick, claw hammer, needle nose plyers, screwdriver, socket, chainsaw file, flat file, sandpaper and a buffing wheel on a bench grinder. i do it seated on my couch at my coffee table i can do one in about an hour and half and it keeps the kids amazed. my daughters friends acted like i did magic like couldnt believe a human could do that. i make beautiful rings from nothing. i pick up culled silver quarters at my local flea market 3 for $10 i only make them for female family or close friends. i made me and my wifes wedding rings i learned to make them for my wife. it was for her i started
Love your vids man, nice job using the cloth to texture. I have alot of the tools to do this, but still need a ring stretcher and rolling mill. Keep up the great work!
Great video brother and those are some amazing patterns/textures that came out of those items. Beautiful rings man. Always fun to watch your videos man. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas. ✝
This is my suggestion, as someone who is unfamiliar with metal working and is watching purely because I enjoy watching craftsmanship, if you could put text up that explains what you’re using or why you’re doing a certain process it would be offer people like me a more interesting experience.
I have tons of older videos that walk through different aspects of it. Doing that on every video muddles up the videos and makes them much less popular.
Today my mother gave me a collection of rare silver coins as well as some other collections of coins and it made me think of this channel so I came back here
save thme man your mother treasured those coins as any coin collectors would if you want a ring please use the ones that you have doubled or even better tripled
martin11844 I don’t plan on making rings out of them or selling them, this collection of coins has probably inspired me to start a new hobby of collecting and treasuring more coins.
@@pierdolio its only copper Lincoln/wheat pennies and nickels that are against the law to melt for profit. The scrap he melted came from silver coins he turned into rings
SKYLER, I THINK NATE FROM COINHUNTINGCOUPLE, FELLOW UA-camR IS GOING TO SEND YOU A MORGAN FOR YOU TO MAKE HIM A RING. PLEASE RECORD THAT VIDEO AS IT'S A OLD COIN AND I THINK HE WOULD LIKE TO POST IT ON HIS CHANNELS. JUST A THOUGHT, AND THANKS. GOOD JOB ON THE SCRAP SILVER RINGS THEY CAME OUT NICE.
Great video Skyler. You are the reason I started making rings a little over a year ago and i enjoy it immensely. How would I get a list of the tools in the video? I searched for the torch but couldn't find it. Where did you get the mold for the silver and the crucible? I found the 6 piece hammer set on Ebay. I will also be ordering the mill for from Pepe tools (a little more expensive than I was hoping lol). I'm going to make a trek to the west one day just to meet you and Jason ;) Thanks for what you do.
I really need to update my tool list video. I got the torch from euro tools and the infotainment mold from rio grande. But to be honest, you could order both from rio grande. Good luck getting deeper into it. It is a fun journey for sure!
Sorry to ask so many questions but what was that puddy looking stuff you cleaned the inside of the band with and if you had to buy a less expensive roller, which would you go with?
i make coin rings in my lap with a welders pic as a mandrel. i use a claw hammer to punch a screwdriver thru a quarter after i anneal on stove. i use chainsaw sharpener to open hole to fit welder pick. then hammer coin down onto pick slowly working edge over and anneal often. then you have rough silver cylinder and you flat file until good form then use 120grit/ect. up to 1200/ 1600 wet sanding. then only electric tool i use is to polish on wheel. i learn so i make me and wife wedding rings.
Skyler, after all these years of watching you create your jewelry, there is one thing that I have noticed, and that is when you patina your rings. Lol….At 15:04 you are using the same green “swizzle” stick to stir your liver of sulfur mixture. Where did you get it?
Haha! I have used that ever since the first time I tried liver of Sulphur. When I first bought it, I went into the house to find something to mix it in and found a kids olive garden cup with a twisty straw from dinner the night before. I used the cup for a long time too but it eventually cracked. But the twisty straw is still going strong lol.
How much do you sell these for? I like the wooden ring holder you had near the end of the video when you were polishing, Im going to make one of those tomorrow!
Im an hvac technician , we use oxycetalyne to braze copper lines with brazing rods. Do you think its possible to make a ring of copper and brazing rods ? Like copper piping or fittings?
What happens if u just put a hole in a silver coin and only use the ring stretcher on it? Is it possible to make a nice ring that way? Annealing the ring as needed of course.
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint I hope u can. I'm new to you're channel but I have seen rings made several different ways in others videos, but not like that yet.
Awesome tutorial, you’re very inspiring, thank you so much for making it!!! 🤗❤️ I wanted to ask you, what’s that thing you spray on your ingot molds before putting the hot metal in them? 🤔 Thank you in advance 🤗
Is there a way I can contact you in order to get more detail on how I might get a couple rings made for my wife and I. You do exceptionally beautiful work with the gold, well all, the coin rings you make and I would love to have a wedding set made. Thank you for all the great videos.
You work from home? How much can a person make a year, doing this? How do you sell your products? Do you have a storefront? Distributor? Online? Do people ask for things and then you make them, or do you just make stuff and hope it sells? Sorry, lots of questions. Very interesting
I do work from home and I sell on my website www.changeyoucanwear.net I have set products and I make them once they are ordered. I do pretty good with it financially. I am very grateful for that!
How do you keep the solder lines from pitting? I am an apprentice jeweler that does some custom work in my spare time and I find that after high polishing my work I get pits along the solder joints.

Right on thanks! Coin rings are the gateway drug of the jewelry world I have discovered :)
This kind of content is why I keep saying this is the best channel on UA-cam in this genre. Absolutely stunning work!! Very well done.
Thanks! I have had a great time coming up with new stuff to share :)
A childhood friend's Father was a goldsmith, I loved watching him work in his garage workshop.
You had me at MADE IN THE USA that's when I hit that like button.
Me too.
One of my favourite things about working with silver and gold is that it's easy to reform into ingots when you screw up 😅
Thank you, I always forget about the different pattern materials. All those rings look awesome.
Glad you like them!
Ohhhhh that’s how the design silver is made cool
Thanks for that👍🏽
It is really amazing how the textures transfer to the metal, looking quite awesome!!
Love this video! Takes me back to my high school days when l took metal shop class and made silver jewelry. You have a great workshop!!
this is amazing. you inspire me to start with something like this. been dreaming of crafting something beautiful like this for years.
Right on!
Very nice job, supreme quality and craftsmanship. You are truly blessed with talent.
And YAY steel wool! One of my favorite polishing and finishing ‘tools’!
oh men i'm amazed of your creativity with those fabrics and popurris for getting textures i am amazed
Hey would you follow me? Y have many ideas for jewerly making for the future
Makes me wish I had somewhere I could make jewelry. Took a jewelry class in high school. Wish I could do it again.
I used to work on a 6 ft bench in my laundry room for years. almost all of my earlier videos were shot there. Go for it!
Fantastic way to use your scraps my friend. Wearing my Morgan and Canadian large cent spinner ring right now 😆 merry Christmas my friend
Excellent discrimination of how you work. I have learned so much from your video s. Well done
Hi, not sure if you’ll see this but if you do, Happy Christmas and God Bless you, from England (UK) 👍🏼
Right on you too!
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint hit me up on Facebook my name is the same on Facebook i would love to show you pics of my work
Earings sell better with less material what i was told. But love the shine.
WOW what an amazing video i didn't know that's how you put texture patterns on rings. I find so much old silver rings on beaches and in water I'm really considering to melt them all down to make new ones like you.
I love your videos. Your craftsmanship is amazing. Happy holidays from Germany.
Enjoyed watching your work. Very Beautiful rings
Nice and also those will look good on a spinner ring. Awesome video Skyler.
I was thinking that too!
Yep it'll look perfect. Love how you don't just stop at just making one thing there's always new ideas well my wife bought me a mini metal lathe and just can't wait to use a bit scared of the dam thing though lol anyway Merry Christmas to you and the family and have a safe New Year
Hey champ this is actually awesome, just to c how u can pattern ur jewelry with just about anything u can find around ur house. Simply amazing

It sounds like you might have oxidized your solder. It is best to heat it to melting quickly before it oxidizes. I used easy on these rings.
Very creative, beautiful looking rings, but that's what you do.
Gonna have a play with coins when I get a rotary tool and randomly came across your channel looking up techniques. Just wanted to commend your editing

Love your vids man, nice job using the cloth to texture. I have alot of the tools to do this, but still need a ring stretcher and rolling mill. Keep up the great work!
It's fasinating & a great deal of work. Great results
Nice work. Weird because we just made pasta and this reminds me of that.
I would love to have a rolling mill but I'm still saving up for a Durston ring stretcher.
Ooh dont buy one! Wait for a new vid to check out a better, cheaper option :)
Great satisfying video! Wonderful work!
Great video brother and those are some amazing patterns/textures that came out of those items. Beautiful rings man. Always fun to watch your videos man. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas. ✝
Thanks you too!
Really it's awesome mind blowing work it's not easy to make kind of such beautiful ring suppaa duppaa
Just the right amount of editing and nice music to boot! Is that Ludovico Einaudi on the piano?
I'm not sure. I found everything on epidemic sound.
this mans a god at this. respect
SUBSCRIBED to YOU & YOUR OLD MAN - your videos are great!!! Keep up the good work
Thanks!
Again, what type of polishing compound are you using,

A terrific video!🤗❤️🤗
Hi from Egypt
What did he spray on and in the mold at the beginning of the video. Im a beginner but Im learning fast 😁 i love jewelry smithing 💯
Great video Skyler. You are the reason I started making rings a little over a year ago and i enjoy it immensely. How would I get a list of the tools in the video?

*Ingot mold :)
Skyler, could then same torch used in coin ring making be used for melting the Silver?
@@cigardude64 Most certainly.
Sorry to ask so many questions but what was that puddy looking stuff you cleaned the inside of the band with and if you had to buy a less expensive roller, which would you go with?
That lace one😍😍😍😍👏
Could you please let me know what the tool is called that carved out the edges of the inside of the ring? It had a blue handle..
Sure it’s called a deburring tool and I get them on Amazon

Great job man, what do you use, to lube or something the casting die ? My casting mold is too cold, I have to heat it up more.
Eres un gran artista, me gustan mucho tus vídeos por que siempre aprendo algo nuevo ¡
Gracias!
How do I get scrap silver?
You just an artist, wow
happy holidays......love pepetools
How much do you sell these for? I like the wooden ring holder you had near the end of the video when you were polishing, Im going to make one of those tomorrow!
Right now I have them on sale for $60.
Awesome video!
I’m real new to this but whywouldn’t you flip ends for ends as you turn it 90 degrees?
If you wanted if uniform?

It is a non stick ingot spray.
Change You Can Wear Thank you 😊
Freaking gorgeous! How many coin rings did it take to have that much scrap?
Are there affordable ways to do this? Aka, without the roller?
what is the definition of 'Scrap' silver? I see shavings from what looks like turned pieces and such.
I thought it was a 3rd world gutter ring maker video but its all made in the good old USA!
I love the lace one
I'm new to the channel, what is pickeling and what is the purpose.
It is citric acid pickle and it cleans the silver up.
Is there a way I can contact you in order to get more detail on how I might get a couple rings made for my wife and I.

Did you ever get the ring set made?
That was a great video.
I see your using the 160mm mill, but when you had the 130mm mill do you remember if it was capable of making 6.5mm square wire?
I never made any wire on my old Chinese one so I couldn't really answer you. Sorry!

I use a deburring tool to cut the sharp edges out of my coin rings and keep the silver in that bin to make other things :)
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint thank you.
New to your channel......love this
Well done
Why don’t you use a mandrill when you’re polishing with the wheel?
If it gets too hot, I do.
So informative! Thank you 🤘
How do you keep the solder lines from pitting? I am an apprentice jeweler that does some custom work in my spare time and I find that after high polishing my work I get pits along the solder joints.
That is a good question. I can't remember seeing them unless I use too much solder. But I am not sure to be honest.
Beautiful
lol maybe you should have made more rings at the same time.
what torch do you use?
I think it's called a port a torch from euro tools.
