Handhellers: Experimental Vierschlag Method
Просмотров 1 тыс.3 года назад
My experimental method for making Hellers, Pfennigs, and Bracteates using the Vierschlag (Four Stroke) method. In this short video, the blank is made from a 10mm square of pewter, appropriate for 13/14th century heller blanks. The blank can be refined past this point by smoothing out the central square or ensuring consistent thickness to make a nice, flat blank. Hellers and pennies were not giv...
Making Medieval Style Coins - Part 1: Punches
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
This video shows what it takes to make punches from start to finish. The punches here are used to strike medieval style coins for educational and recreational purposes. Punches make up a significant portion of the work on an average medieval coin die, so understanding their construction and use is essential to any moneyer. This is Part 1 of my new series, How to Make Medieval Style Coins. We wi...
How To Cut a Coin Die
Просмотров 33 тыс.4 года назад
This time lapse shows the work it takes to make a coin die from start to finish. (No Sound) This work shows how I make a medieval style coin die for striking by hand. I work with a modern GRS ball vise for comfort. The steel is made from 1018 cold rolled steel, 1" round bar. All punches used were handmade and shaped for my needs. Enjoy! If you have a suggestion or something you'd like to see on...
What do you call this one that carves iron?

Is a bolster necessary? I put my dies in a stump, though I have yet to get a single good strike so maybe there is something to this bolster thing...
Not sure if you're still checking, but I've made 4 sets of dies now, following your instructions, yet I cannot get a single good strike. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
Glad to hear youve tried to make coins! Hard to say what's wrong without seeing your setup. Most times, if youre holding dies you srent hitti g hard enough. The basic questions are: Are the dies flat? What material are you striking? How large is your hammer and how heavy is your anvil/stump/bolster? Shoot me an email at twobearmint at Gmail and I'd be happy to assist.
Were are you from men

Great video. How much are you pushing the graver vs turning the die into the graver?

Great artist! LIKE👍👍
Superb video. Many thanks.
How cool! I really need a set of stamps to strike an 1100s medieval coin. Can you make such a set for me?
Sure. Send me an email or reach out to me on my website : twobearmint.com

Hello, can you do Coin Design and Die, can I send you the design?
Hello. Yes, depending on design. I take custom requests through my site at twobearmint.com or email twobearmint@gmail.com
My God.
Do they not have an engraver which you can pull to cut? I believe for me, it would be easier doing it that way to make straighter cuts.
I can't say I'm familiar with a pull method, but I use hand push because it is the most similar to the medieval method I focus on. Also, I am in no way an engraving master. I'm sure the tool is not at fault for crooked lines.
Hlo
Could u Give me your whatsapp, i would like to change an idea
Hey....anyone there???
Hi Bruce. Yes I am still here, just lurking after a move and some life events. I'd be glad to answer your questions in the meantime.
I'm suprised you have such low numbers of viewers because you make very good videos. I'm from DENMARK and I manufacture ancient greek and roman replicas in real silver 90%. It would be interesting do some business with you rearding die's... if you're interested. best regards, from Copenhagen
I want to eventually be able to make a headstamp for the cartridge cases I make. This has a lot of parallels with decorative diemaking i think.
Where can i buy these punches online? I looked and cant find these ones you are using
These letter punches are from Harbor Freight.
Very good bro
Please send the adress
Sir.mujhe punch chahiye

Thanks for your detailed demonstration of the process of making dies and striking coins / tokens like it was done in (mainly) the 1000 to 1700 hundreds, here in Europe, (going by the style of the patterns)! The technique has of course been used since the beginning of minting coins (in Anatolia and Greece - and elsewhere), until the mechanization of stamping and die production.. Although the style has changed during the about 2500 years of minting coins in gold, silver, copper or various alloys. I think the much deeper and more artistic qualities of the classical Greek coins, from various city-states and later empires, are the most beautiful things made by this craft! (E.g. the Athenian and other Greek cities, diverse Aeoli, Obols, Stater and various Drachma, like the di- and especially the tetra-drachms with Athena and the owl, or the even more magnificent decadrachms of the Greek city of Syracuse (on Sicilia)! I also liked the older thaler of Europe, which spread all over the world, as daler, daalder, crown, pesos (ocho reales) and dollars, which even became a world wide standard currency! First as large silver coins from all the Central and Southern American colonies of Spain, later the gold sovereign (5 silver crowns) of the British empire are, dominated the world trade. And then the North American Dollar became the world currency, during the 2nd world war, (although the last standard silver and gold wasn't circulating after 1935, except for smaller denominations and memorial coins). So, it's great if we start making old-fashioned coins of smaller denominations in silver, gold etc, and even strike them with dies showing the weight of gold or silver, which we can use in case the banks implement a CBDC that's nothing more than a number and code on the computers! Making tokens of your favorite metal is nicer than buying a token on a block-chain network! I don't collect "ether, bits and ripples"! It's a better idea to make some nice ducats and shillings for saving or trading... Thanks for teaching us some of the craft! I hope you have videos on annealing the dies and making standardized blanks! Have a nice time!
What's the name of that vice you're using?
This is a GRS Standard Engraving Block Ball Vise. I buy from Contenti because of their great customer service. contenti.com/grs-standard-engraving-block-ball-vise
Hi im very inttested in your art of what you do...can we make contact i would like you to ingrave something for me
Hey man do you still make these.
Hi Jim, I do! I have not had the time or money to replace my camera setup though, pending a few major changes with my workbench. I should be back up and running with my making coins series sometime in the next couple months.
@@TwoBearMint ahh ok, if you sell those coin dies i would buy one. I’ve been wanting to try minting coins for a while I just don’t know where to get the dies made
Sir want your address for working purpose
if you search for a better way to transfer, i made a video on my channel it has allready 40k views 🙂
Zoro is the same as Grainger. (but 35% cheaper) Zoro sells one inch O1 drill rod, 36" for $39. O1 is easy to harden with a torch and veg oil, then temper to yellow in a home oven. They also have other sizes for your punches.
I wanted to make a dye, had to talk about that.

Do nice things, not just anything! first learn the experience and then post your GOOD WORK online ... You have to study a lot and you need to have experience afterwards. So far you have no experience and weak coins you do ...
Classy! You must be fun at parties.
And how many coin dies have you personally made? He may not be a pro, but he was good enough to show everyone the process from beginning to final product.
If he did a biden Presidential "Let's Go Brandon" coin, He couldn't sell enough of them.
what is graver tool of metal .. hss ., carbide graver ?? pls reply me
Did you buy that carving knife online or did you make it yourself?
I purchased the graver - I usually buy on websites like riogrande or contenti.
You should design / build a collar that puts reeded edges on coins and do video on how to make it.
I would love to make any video youd like to see. Unfortunately milled edges are not in the realm of my ability and is fairly late medieval/ early modern practice.
@@TwoBearMint yeah... I know... I believe US started it to prevent silver shaving from early silver and gold coins. ... I considered using threaded nuts to create a type of reedingn...but I think the threads would lock the coin into the collar. But... I am going test idea someday.
@@darrinwebber4077 No worries! There are people who have this ability to produce milled coinage, I unfortunately do not... It was a process introduced in 1550 indeed to prevent shaving materil from coins and prevent counterfeiting.

Hello! I have a question, where do you get the steel for your dies?
Hello, I purchase 1018 cold rolled steel 1" diameter round bars from an local metal shop. You may have luck at other locations like online metals.com if you dont have a local shop.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your help!
