It is absolutely awesome! THings like this become a heirloom for a family. Imagine you use coins from the year your child was born. It will be treasured forever. I truly like your art and you are an awesome instructor. I hope to be able to come for a personal class soon. Thanks! Marin
Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who “fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.” This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.
What an awesome little project! I saw the way your rings were made and came back to see this. This truly is amazing you are able to fuse those together.
WOW! Great instructional video. The step to solder the 2 halves together is fascinating. Also, the bell makes a nice sound. These would work great for the motorcycle folks who run these on their bikes for good luck. Thanks for the video!
Wohoo! I did it! I made one and it looks good..not as perfect as yours but for the the first one I make is great ... Thank you for the idea and support.
Well, first of all, all you nay sayers who are expressing negative comments, are complicit by just watching. Second, I’m sure most of you have been to a zoo or a theme park where they had the penny flattener. You put a quarter and a penny in and you turn the crank and the flattened penny comes out with the theme on it. Great job, man! Good tools and great craftsmanship!
Gabe C Hi Gabe, Would you mind sharing where you got your equipment used in making your bell? Thanks for your time and help...! Have a great day and be blessed.
Awesome bell! I can absolutely appreciate an item like this. Both as a coin collector, and a biker. That is absolutely a bell I would buy to put on my Harley.
You think you can do a video demo with just a doming block and a ring stretcher... my dome comes out too wide and not enough lip so I had to stretched the bottom too much .. but I cant get a lip on the dome to hold the solder ... any help is appreciated ..
Dude I have been waiting on a video like this for about 3 years now thank you thank you thank you. awesome work as always. what size punch is the hole sir. and what are you using for handle. thank you in advance
Watching you at work just shows me what a person can do if they set their mind to it and it really makes me smile to see a craft men at work post more videos please . I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. live on dude
karl seel Dont be a douche, especially since the comment flew right over your head. Also, if you cant commit to saying "ass" dont bother at all. What are you? 5?
Yeah. Changing a $1 bill to a $5. I also read something about how there are laws against selling modified currency (could have been youtube lawyer BS). Could you clue me in about the tools you're using? What are these dyes and punches actually made for? Or was it all machined specifically to make bells like this?
Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear, its illegal to destroy nickels and pennies since 2005. ..so the coins that are being used for the video are ok for now.
@@tghost7721 You tell me to "read about it" but I already have nearly two years ago when I started making coin rings. Do you have a particular link to information you believe will change my mind? If so, share it. There is an entire industry with tooling makers and jewelry making suppliers like Rio Grande who supply, not only tools, but offer workshops on it. Interesting that you single out nickels and pennies in your comments. First, those are two of the coins least likely to be made into rings (or other items). Secondly, what about coin elongation? Ever heard that term? Look it up and let us know how that is legal but, somehow, making rings, bells, etc is not (according to you, that is).
This guy is awesome...I got two rings from him...one for me and recently one for my wife(still waiting for it)...I get a lot of attention and questions about my ring....and yessss I do give them your website..great work..
Me and my six-year-old girl Princess Isabella love watching your videos she loves the build more than I do Great job we both love to own the piece of art Specially when you make the rings out of cons
Would rather here you talking about your tools and the processes you are using at the time. Still beautiful work though. If I don’t win would there be a way to order one?
Beautiful coin Bell. Bells have a special meaning for my family after my Grandmother passed away. Can I find them on E Bay perhaps? I love it! Thanks for our video, I’m am disabled or I’d try make one
Fantastic, was wondering if you could help me out with a question ? Will modern coins take on a patina finish and if so where can I find the products , any help would be appreciated , Thanks 🙏🏽
I was able to get the dome to have a lip to be able solder to bottom used the dome block and reducer from the coin stretcher.. I need your help to get the right flux and solder ..thanks in advance ..
Is there a particular solder type to use? I am having trouble getting my solder to flow into the bell halfs. My solder runs to the bottom of the cup most often. Thanks. Jim Holden
For a better proportion, use a third ring, placed between the coins so the bell is longer and you can clean the finished bell in a mixture of wingar and salt to remove the dark patina.
Yeah, I commented sooner than my brain realized I can pause the video and read the info, sorry. Really like the end results and your techniques. Thanks for responding and keep on crafting.
Cool video man!...been blacksmithing a while. Learning a little about jewelry making from a coworker. What exactly is the mandrel you're using at 3:06?
I'm just curious, because I want to have all the gadgets you have. I am still beating silver coins with a spoon making my rings. How much have you spent on Jason's works tools? I need to make a good 50 of those bells for my next Christmas tree.
I enjoy being walked through the process by your videos. Seeing the finished items gives you a very satisfying feeling of excellence. God's blessed you with a gift. Nice work!
Would you share the type of wire you are using for the handle and tapper attachment. Really a neat idea. I have the two coins ready but want to make sure of the other materials before I solder. More fun than should be allowed.
When I made this video j really should have gone to the store for something better. But I didn't and used something that was handy haha. It was a cotter pin :)
I just made the third bell using two Mexican 20 pesos coins... they are very thick and heavy coins. I now need to make a good clapper and canons... any suggestions? For the first one I used a nickel coin cut and shaped like a cross... but was very hard to do and I do not like the look. I have no dies and do it all with the doming block and ring stretcher.
I love this tiny bell!! Makes me want to send you some of the coins in my collection to see what you can do with them!
How did he do it?
that bell is so awesome..so much of the coin work you do and edward does is so inspirational..
Thanks!

Thanks!
As a coin collector I both cringe at and admire your work. Keep it up!!
Haha thanks!

Timothy, you are a moron.
Timothy Mckee He’s not committing fraud in any way. He isn’t trying to pass these off as something they are not. 100% within the law.
What an awesome little project! I saw the way your rings were made and came back to see this. This truly is amazing you are able to fuse those together.
Thanks!
I agree Great video, I'd much rather hear the sounds of a productive workshop than that music
With my tinnitus, I could barely hear the bell over the music. Irony reigns.
WOW! Great instructional video. The step to solder the 2 halves together is fascinating. Also, the bell makes a nice sound. These would work great for the motorcycle folks who run these on their bikes for good luck. Thanks for the video!
Right on you're welcome!
p.s. I have a motorcycle :)

Hi Gabe,
Would you mind sharing where you got your equipment
used in making your bell?
Thanks for your time and help...!
Have a great day and be blessed.
Awesome bell! I can absolutely appreciate an item like this. Both as a coin collector, and a biker. That is absolutely a bell I would buy to put on my Harley.
Thanks! I should have some on my website here in a week or so.
That's an awesome piece that anyone would be proud to have! Such a cool price for a contest!
Thanks!
Wow! Impressive workmanship.
That is so cute and looks machine made!!! All in the tools being used and the guy behind them!!! Looking forward to the coin tools give away!!! 🤪
its a Dollar Bell
Amazon .com
😁😁😁
?
Very cool looking bell. I love the fact the whole head shows on the inside of the bell. Well done.
You think you can do a video demo with just a doming block and a ring stretcher... my dome comes out too wide and not enough lip so I had to stretched the bottom too much .. but I cant get a lip on the dome to hold the solder ... any help is appreciated ..
Yeah it would be pretty tough with out the swedish wrap.
Outstanding craftsmanship there, from an Englishman to an American, bloody brilliant.
Thank you!
Very creative. I would love to own that piece of art! Thanks
Thanks!
Beautiful little Bell.. great idea great craftsmanship you have a great talent.
Thanks!
Great idea! Would make a really nice gift. How about one made from a coin that its year celebrates the anniversary of the Liberty Bell?
That is a great idea!
Awesome bell and I love that you used the punch out from the coin as the striker. Two thumbs up
Thanks!
The bell is cool ,but the music is not cool , hitting the mute is Cool !!!
Haha!
It would be interesting to see more of the device you used to open up the hole more. What is it? (side note, thank heaven for the volume slider!)
Very cool item and great craftsmanship as always!!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Dude I have been waiting on a video like this for about 3 years now thank you thank you thank you. awesome work as always. what size punch is the hole sir. and what are you using for handle. thank you in advance
Really nice work!! I like how you explain the steps. Easy to follow, thanks to you i started making coin rings thanks alot.
Wow way cool thanks!
I am from india.this video is suppperr work bell
Watching you at work just shows me what a person can do if they set their mind to it and it really makes me smile to see a craft men at work post more videos please . I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. live on dude
Right on thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement.
Had to mute it. Great work.
Nicely done! I'm impressed by how little solder flowed through your hole in the top. I expected that to stick out more.
Yeah so did I! Thanks!
I just subscribed and rang the bell. (No pun intended!)
Sweet!
Definitely the coolest artistic expression I’ve ever seen.
Fantastic work.
Sick video! No music next time?
That is sweet
karl seel huh? Sick video means that it’s a good video. Like “whoa that car is SICK DUDE”. You need a nap bro.
karl seel Dont be a douche, especially since the comment flew right over your head. Also, if you cant commit to saying "ass" dont bother at all. What are you? 5?
stephen e haha he deleted his comment! 🤷🏻♂️
JacuzziSurfer that's funny. Guess it's easier to delete than to say he misunderstood the comment.
What a Super Idea. Your Workmanship is unprecedented. Someone will get a Wonderful Treasure.
I Love Watching your Videos. Thanks So Much For Sharing
Thanks!
Is this not illegal?
It is legal outside fraudulent intent
Yeah. Changing a $1 bill to a $5. I also read something about how there are laws against selling modified currency (could have been youtube lawyer BS).
Could you clue me in about the tools you're using? What are these dyes and punches actually made for? Or was it all machined specifically to make bells like this?
You just can't sell modified currency as currency. Selling as a bell or ring as A- OK.
I know someone who got in trouble for drilling a hole. In a quarter n made it into a keychain. Its considered defacing us currency
Any shit that gov do not like is illegal. That was a awesome work of art:-)
That was some awesome work, thanks for showing your process and your a good guy for giving the credit to the beard that originally came up with this.
Haha! Beard recognizes beard :)
Music sucks hard.
Just like your mother Trebek!
awesome..
what the main purpose of that pipe steel thingy you use to bend the coin?
🤔This is cool, but, I thought destroying US coins was illegal..
No it is completely legal outside fraudulent intent.
Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear, its illegal to destroy nickels and pennies since 2005. ..so the coins that are being used for the video are ok for now.
Wrong.
TLAS , read about it

That bell is awesome. It's ideas like this that ad extra enjoyment to the hobby, thanks. So cool.
I agree!
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint the only way to make it better would be to use the Bicentennial half dollars, 1776-1976.
Love people with such a vision...to make beautiful things...I will love to own one of those bells
That’s a real beauty! Thanks for ALL your helpful videos. Very much appreciated!
Thanks!
Awesome coin bell, this is the first time I've seen one! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a cool piece!!
Thanks!
Dude. That is one of the coolest things I have seen made from a coin. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome!
Great bell, I love the little ringer. You are quite talented! This bell would look great in my curio cabinet.🤗
Haha thanks!
Me and my six-year-old girl Princess Isabella love watching your videos she loves the build more than I do Great job we both love to own the piece of art Specially when you make the rings out of cons
Thanks!
Please post a list of tooling needed for this process and can they be purchased as a set? Thank you
Believe me bell ringers will seek you out. Gr8 stuff. Enjoy watching your coin making🇦🇺
Right on thanks!
Finally something different with coins, now that is a very great video and concept can't wait to make one, thanks to you both.
Right on you're welcome!
The coin bell would be a very nice addition to our handmade jewelry we sell at the local weekly farmers market.
Very true!
Wow! Great job! Absolutely brilliant! Would look fantastic on my desk.
Thanks!
Would rather here you talking about your tools and the processes you are using at the time. Still beautiful work though. If I don’t win would there be a way to order one?
Very nice looking bell. I enjoy your videos and would love one. Thank for sharing
Awesome idea love the bell. Where did you get the 1/2’’ rounded punch to start the bell?
I just took a 1/2 punch and rounded it off on the bench grinder. You can also use ball bearings or a dap.
I've been working with copper and a hammer. Now I need to look into what you are using.
Right on!
Fascinating. It's easy to see why the railroads switched to diesels, but there's nothing like steam.
Thank you for showing us. I wish I had known about things like this when I was a young woman. So interesting.
Awsome idea!! Subscribed for sure and thanks for sharing. Where can I get the punches and the press you were usin? Thank you
The press is best from harbor freight ant the punches are from jasonsworks.com. I'm going to be uploading an in depth video next week on it.
Awesome. Even loved the music ;)
Where does one purchase the dies you used?
waw.. great craftmanship ! you sure got quality tools and fine workshop...
Beautiful coin Bell. Bells have a special meaning for my family after my Grandmother passed away. Can I find them on E Bay perhaps? I love it! Thanks for our video, I’m am disabled or I’d try make one
Fantastic, was wondering if you could help me out with a question ? Will modern coins take on a patina finish and if so where can I find the products , any help would be appreciated , Thanks 🙏🏽
They do but it is just the fire scale from annealing them. There isn't much else that works well.
I think Jax and Rio Grande make patinas that work with silver, copper, brass, and nickel.
I was able to get the dome to have a lip to be able solder to bottom used the dome block and reducer from the coin stretcher.. I need your help to get the right flux and solder ..thanks in advance ..
I just want to say- I love 💕 bells! Nicely done ✅
Thanks!
That ended up bring pretty dope. Held the details of the couch well too.
Thanks!
Beautiful art. Just discovered you. Will watch more
Cool thanks!
Is there a particular solder type to use? I am having trouble getting my solder to flow into the bell halfs. My solder runs to the bottom of the cup most often. Thanks. Jim Holden
I just use silver solder. An easy would work great.
Great to see something other than rings being made from coins. Good video. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
For a better proportion, use a third ring, placed between the coins so the bell is longer and you can clean the finished bell in a mixture of wingar and salt to remove the dark patina.
Me and my wife love the way you create different things
Thanks I appreciate you guys watching!
Wow, nice workmanship! I absolutely love it
Thanks!
AT 3:35, what type of metal is that you are using please? Thank you.
Nice! It's cool to see you branching out into making other things with coins.
Thanks I appreciate it!
I am always amazed at your craftsmanship, Awesome!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Nice design and craftsmanship. Be nice to list the tooling used.
I show the dies with the website printed on the side. Basically the rest is standard tools. I will be having a more in depth video coming out soon.
Yeah, I commented sooner than my brain realized I can pause the video and read the info, sorry. Really like the end results and your techniques. Thanks for responding and keep on crafting.
Love your work. Where do I find the tools?
That is beautiful. I wish I had the tools to do this!! I'd have bells all over my house
Thanks!
What a cool project I loved the soldering technique and the music thank you for your videos
I have two Canadian silver dollars I would like to do this with. Unfortunately I don't have those tools you are using.
Cool video man!...been blacksmithing a while. Learning a little about jewelry making from a coworker. What exactly is the mandrel you're using at 3:06?
It is a Durston ring stretcher reducer
Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear Thanks! I'll check it out.
I wish you had spoken thru the process .. PICK ME ! Can it be done with a doming block? What solder did u use?
Yeah I have to find a happy medium with the talking :) you can use a doming block. I used a lead free solder.
I'm just curious, because I want to have all the gadgets you have. I am still beating silver coins with a spoon making my rings. How much have you spent on Jason's works tools? I need to make a good 50 of those bells for my next Christmas tree.
I have a ton of tools but these bells only need the half dollar swedish wrap die along with the half dollar 17° die.
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint sweet. Thanks for the heads up on the exact tools you used. I appreciate it.
That bell is gorgeous!
As always, great craftsmanship!
Right on thanks!
Another masterpiece, This is so creative......Thanks for sharing!

Super AWESOME project! American love in bell form
You know it!
Excellent work as always. Fantastic piece!
Thank you!
This is my random comfort video, I love the song lol
It’s absolutely amazing how you turn coins into rings and bells
Amazingly beautiful. I would make one but I don't have the equipment to do that. Thanks for sharing the idea.
That Bell is Sweet looking keep the good work coming Sir.
Thanks will do!
Amazing. Just Amazing. I'm not just impressed, I'm inspired. Thanks for this video.
Wow sweet thanks!
Nice craftsmanship!
Great bell idea video, thanks for sharing
Amazing work as usual! I could see this hanging from my rear view mirror
Haha right on rhanks!
I just made the third bell using two Mexican 20 pesos coins... they are very thick and heavy coins. I now need to make a good clapper and canons... any suggestions? For the first one I used a nickel coin cut and shaped like a cross... but was very hard to do and I do not like the look. I have no dies and do it all with the doming block and ring stretcher.
I just use the center punch and wire.
Your work is awesome! You never cease to amaze me!
Thanks!
