A simple larger ring mandrel is to buy an aluminum baseball bat at a local good will store and saw it in half. One end makes a great ring mandrel. The other end works as a bracelet mandrel

Hi Chad, the camera angle was great. Yep, we missed seeing top of your head :). Thank you for the video, I also realized that pennies, in Canada are made of real copper only till 1997, so I learned .... watch the date if I am going to solder.

I don't collect coins so much anymore (although, I'll certainly never pass up an interesting looking coin!) but I too have always been bothered and very dismayed when I've seen a coin pendant with a hole drilled through it. Like, it's your coin so do what you want with it I guess, but it always seemed odd to me that someone would essentially destroy something they'd like to wear/display. Anyway, fantastic video and having a closer angle really helps with following the details. Thank you so much for all the time you take to share your knowledge with the world!

When I was younger (now 72) I had a farthing where an ancestor had left the outer writing in, and the robin and filed everything else out, being a kid I was fascinated as they would have done it by hand filing.

You might try a thinner gauge of wire for the ledge inside the bezel for something with a domed back so it sticks out the back a bit.
