yeah if you can find a silver quarter and a copper penny
A bit more sophicated than the ones we made as kids. We would hammer the edge while rotating between finger & thumb & continue until we had the correct (approx) ID. Put it in the vice & drill out centre. for smaller we would carefully tap some more & for a bit larger we'd use a round bastard file a fine as we had. No chain saw files in those days. then polish with "Silvo".Quote:
