    You balance each other very well; resulting in excellent clairification, making this an enjoyable place to visit and learn from.
    Thank You!

    Hello! Mark was using one of our leather sandbags, Rio Grande #112502 (this is the 6"-diameter size; we also have 8" and 10" and are getting ready to add a few more). Enjoy!

    @nrred From Mark Nelson: Really the best gauge to do it with is the gauge that fits the design and function of the jewelry the best. It works with thick metal and thin. However, that being said, the thicker and the thinner the metal is the harder it will be to form. 16 gauge is about as thick as I like to go and I sometimes have to anneal it 1/2 way through, depending on how deep I need it to be. And 28 gauge is as thin as I like to go, usually when I need to dap a really small piece.

    Great video!! I am wanting a flat edge around the dome so I can attach it to a piece of wood with tiny finishing nails. How can I get a flat edge around it?

      Just oversize the piece so you can just dome the center. Then holding it in the block with the punch, lightly true up the flat portion.

    The interviewer lady asks smart questions for beginners to learn better... she also reminds me of Halle Barry for some reason.

      20 - 24 gauge dead soft metal is ideal, but you can go a little thinner to 22 gauge as well.

    @pleiades357 Ideally I would use a metal punch in a wood block. This will give the best dome without damaging the designs on the coin. A wood punch on a wood block will work but it will harder to form. I would avoid using a steel punch on a steel block. It forms great but you could damage the designs.
    I hope this is of some help.
    Thank you

    The demo is relevant and excellent but the video is not. Great demo, thank you!
    Mark, why do you need a second person in these demos, constantly interrupting and asking questions that you answer? Are you afraid to face the camera. Face the camera. Look at the viewer. Remove the second person who is more of an irritant than a help. Ask your question and answer it yourself. This two person format is outdated and feels contrived. You don't need this. Also, the constant chattering is as irritating as music in a video. Remove this irritant, and show a longer demo. Rio Grande uses this tiresome format and needs to change its style.
