Popular Post hotshot Posted November 5, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Special thanks to MrsN, WayneMahler and Birchbark who helped out with the pattern and came up with a natural solution to "unfloat" the eye. The Kennedy was a little small for this pattern, so I might try it on an Eisenhower next time. PS Even though the teeth were painfully small I wasn't happy with them, so I recut this. I also put this one on an Eisenhower to help give me a better shot on the teeth. 37 Inside cuts. Below is that second try: Edited November 6, 2016 by hotshot lawson56, Birchbark, Scrolling Steve and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Randy, these coin cuttings always amaze me. You have a niche market, I don't know of anyone else who cuts coins. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not getting much money for your work.Even a cnc machine would charge this kind of money for this kind of detail work.I think it's time for a long video of a highly detailed cutting for us to watch your trials an tribulations .

meflick Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) More amazing Work by you Randy even if I don't care much for the "subject" of this one. I am in awe of your intricate cutting on such a small scale. Thanks for continuing to show us your work. What's next, a Tiger covers several SEC teams. Tried that gamecock yet? Maybe a Wildcat?

I don't have the ability to create original art, so my subject matter often requires me to stumble onto something that is easily translated to a pattern. My Dad is a big University of Oklahoma fan, but there is no suitable drawing of a the Sooner Schooner. Much of what is available does not translate well to scrolling, especially at this size. There are several GameCock themes that would work. The standard LSU Tiger has a lot of floating stripes, so I would need help on that pattern for sure. The Missouri Tigers might be doable.

heppnerguy Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Glad to see you cutting the coins again, Randy.. I almost bought some metal blades with my last order on Friday but changed my mind... I do have a couple of half dollars saved for when I get the guts to give this a try Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand - I can't even imagine trying to do any of them as small as you do anyway! Are there other logos OK uses that would work for cutting a coin? I am sure whatever you did to commemorate his love of the Sooners would make your Dad happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkey Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I am always amazed when I see one of your coins. Both of them look fantastic to me. I think you have earned the title, king of coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPscroller Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Another pair of amazing pieces of art. Still boggles my mind when I see them. Well done. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Oh Randy I would be happy just cutting the first one. :lol: But I can see a definite improvement with the second one. Have you ever thought of putting together a collection of patterns for the Village scrollers that really want to give it a go? Just asking.

Marg Marg, I have all my beginner patterns at http://www.coincutting.com/coincutting. I'm not 100% certain how making a pattern from Trademarked sources would go over, so to be safe, I'll keep those off the site. If someone sees something that I've cut that they want to try, PM me your email address, and I'll send it to them.
