You might try using a hydronic press rather than hammering
Comment from : Robert Lansdown

A press would make a huge difference

Hydraulic Press ?

Hi Lundgren Bronze Studios! Nice video! Interesting idea! I just subscribed to your channel! 😎
Comment from : Legacy $tacker

I wonder why you didn’t use one of the blanks to cast the coins
Comment from : Jonny Gunn

Can you pl send me your email address, I need to do some business with you brBaldwin

Picking eye*
Comment from : OJOM Nesir

Very interesting video!brI have some suggestions to you:br•You could try acid etching for more details It would be much easier than making it by handbr•On the hammering process, you could make a system where a weight drops on top of the coin stamp It is much easier than hammering it one by one
Comment from : Priniz

You can remove small amount from punch edges to ease removal after punchingbrGreat job though👍
Comment from : Steve Hartley

Interesting art sir, good job How about some hydraulic coercion?
Comment from : gd2u2

Use silver
Comment from : Ryan

year gonna be mirrored
Comment from : Øyvind Pettersborg

Well, done very well done I'm probably going to pour aluminum or copper into plaster I will make wax blanks and burn out the wax in the drying process But dude, well done
Comment from : Stewart Palmer

1:20 plz dont use the side wheel bru weaken the wheel and the fall apart quicker the space-x at 16k rpm --- reason u stand to the side wile u turn it on
Comment from : little hills

To strike accurately it takes two people One holds a rod or blank of soft steel (a sledge hammer seems convenient but striking hardened steel on hardened steel can be dangerous) the die and the other strikes the intermediate piece which transfers to the die without slipping
Comment from : Tim Kiehl

Great effortlove the videoif you were able to create this in your first attempt, you will become awesome at engraving
Comment from : JTCT

How much do those pieces of equipment shown at 3:14 and 4:00 typically cost, and where could you buy an affordable one? You know, the one that puts the designs on the coins
Comment from : X1 Gen KaneshiroX

use a carjack as a press
Comment from : Alan Walkowiak

Can you make 1trillion dollar platinum coin please?
Comment from : Fitrian Hidayat

Should have just bought some brass round stock and cut your discs to fit, and buy or make a hydrolic press Also that steel isn't going to hold up very long you need thicker strike plates like an inch or two at least Also I know most people that talk shit in your comments have no clue what they're talking about so ill add that I have a bachelors degree in advanced metalsmithing from Southern Illinois University Overall not bad
Comment from : Mowery66 Gaming

After heating the blanks up in the furnace, you might try using a press with a bottle jack set up to compress the dies
Comment from : Matt Bonner

Maybe pour a rod, cut discs and press using a bottle jack set up
Comment from : Teunis Rooseboom

I should think that using a hydraulic press like a car jack would work betterbrAlso, at least until you get the procedure down right, you might want to try an even softer metal like aluminium or copper
Comment from : James Dolan

Brass, you used brass
Comment from : Worm Wrangler

Maybe use an Arbor press instead of hammering?
Comment from : R Groshans

I'm just thinking hydraulic press
Comment from : Rob Withoff

Super cool idea and work I'm make ancient replicas in real 90-97 silver and I'm interested in some business with you if you can supply die's It would be interesting talking to you Kind regards, from Copenhagen DENMARK (EU) I see you have a Swedish family name :) Lundgren
Comment from : Mario X

Well done! I love those coins! brBTW you don't need to heat up the blanks so much They are at their softest point after pouring them Since you had to sand them, you basically work hardened them So, it was a good idea to heat them up again to anneal (soften) them before stamping, but they don't need to be hot like that while you stamp The metal stays soft, even after they cool down, until you do something to work harden them again Nonferrous metals react to heat & cold differently than steel brI really enjoyed this video You definitely got my sub

Stupid ways
Comment from : Arky an

I bENJOYED/b watching your video - excellent entertainment!
Comment from : J O A T M O F A

Did you remember that the image needs to be mirrored?
Comment from : The Rotten One Repents

you're cute
Comment from : Karlo Morosin

Great video Learned alot Thanks for showing all of the lessons
Comment from : Michael Paul

Cool video! Watching you struggle with the process was really enlightening Thanks for letting us see
Comment from : Plank Man

Great work, mate Thank you very much for sharing!
Comment from : Paul Shirley - Musician

I know this is a year old butbrAt that point you could just wax out some coin designs, sand cast the wax coins, pour the molds, clean up the new coin/round and done brAs far as the die route goes I seen the vise looking lonely there, could have stuck it in the vise and smacktightensmack tighten etc etc etc until you was where ya wanted to be brbrWith this being said I have adhd and you had me fixated through out the entire videogood job manhonestly really enjoyed it EZ Subbr✌
Comment from : R3D

I really enjoyed watching this video, you showed all your steps, mistakes and all, this really allows someone to get exactly what you did Bravo
Comment from : FrostByte Coins & Collectibles

casting bar stock to turn on the lathe to feed into the screw machine to churn out a bunch of pucks
Comment from : mackk123

Hay I'm gonna make a second comment so you get a new notification, I learned that Nordic gold is actually kinda hard, not the best for coin making silver is obviously one of the best choices but when it comes to cheaper metals copper is a fantastic choice since its rather malleable, Nordic gold is rather hard due to being a fancy form of brassbrI believe you would get a ton more detail using a softer metal also having the blank be hot is apparently a traditional practice so you're on the right track there, also I found out my previous comment about using a vise is one way about it another is hitting them together with a hammer you should try both to see your personal results it should be relatively simple for you to do bothbrI also saw a method of making blanks where you make a bunch of circles and link them together with lines and pour the material in an open mold instead of having a closed like you had, there's less waste due too leakage and overfilling and you have more control of what's happening, in the past they would simply file off the inconsistencies but you don't need to worry about your coins being all the same since its just hobby workbrAfter you do copper aluminium is harder but it's also more malleable than other metals so you should test it out too, and if you have the privilege to make one out of silver or gold it would make an amazing addition to whatever collection you might have actual gold would be too rich for my blood considering the silver would be like 20-40 bucks one huge bonus about silver though is because of its low melting point you can just use a blowtorch and a vaguely circular shape in some casting sand to make a blank in under half a minute, extremely handybrI think that's about all the new information I have, please do tell me if you intend to fallow any of my advice what so ever I'd love to hear about it
Comment from : Sir link The fourth

So awesome
Comment from : Tofan

I'd recommend starting much closer to the desired thickness and size, yeah you are displacing metal but not as much as you think you are also cooling the blanks before hand is a bad idea because it makes the metal harder you want to keep it malleable in other words nowhere between being completely melted and being stamped should you put the blanks in water also if you want an easy way to press the stamps together you can simply use a vice instead of a hammer that would also give you a uniform presure and more energy behind it with less effort
Comment from : Sir link The fourth

I might do this myself, but with a different design
Comment from : drifters forge

A little trick that engravers use is to print the wanted motive mirrored onto a piece of paper, put it face down onto the workpiece, fix it with a little bit of tape and carefully brush it with aceton Dosn't work with every printer or ink but if it workes you tranfer the ink from the paper onto the metal
Comment from : GreenRena

Technology is used like in ancient times, and the result is like in ancient times King Lundgren's coin
Comment from : Avexoid Avex

This is actually pretty cool
Comment from : Alexander Davis

Speak up, I say speak up son, so we can hear ya!
Comment from : Alexander Davis

12:01 - it would have got into the eye - the headphones would not have helped
Comment from : витя вазон

Use a much softer metal Try silver or pure copper And thanks for showing us your bloopers They were fun to watch
Comment from : Scott Adler

to improve your setupsecure your wood log down to somethingand build a vertical channel track for your sludge hammer to run along until it meets the coin these two things should help a lotyou are losing impact power by the log bouncing off the groundand also losing precision when the swing doesn't hit it directly head on
Comment from : Stormfury101

Gud work bro ❤️👍
Comment from : Dinesh Bihal

I'm pretty sure that thing is called a padeye You weld it to a structure so you can use a crane etc To move the structure Nice video
Comment from : Steve Stokes

Here also rookies, enjoy how you show everything including mistakes as well as first time Thank you
Comment from : M-fav

the presentation is excellent, it has rendered the meaning brdetail, before the foundry sand fell 6:02'' you had to sprinkle it by sifting inside of an old sock with a thin layer of charcoal ash so that the originals would come off easily 6:52'' brbrwhat would you say ? 😏
Comment from : arel gr

You need centrifuge
Comment from : minhaz hosen

what metal store?
Comment from : DARK the noble

I’d like to see your die be used in a press with 6-10 tons of pressure
Comment from : Objects and you

love your process, good job
Comment from : daniel winter

Do you think it would turn out better if you used a hydraulic press?
Comment from : Rabbit Rabbit

if you due this agian use round bar stock alot cleaner and using a 10-20 ton press would make for cleaner press ty for this video plan on using this to make copper and silver and gold coins
Comment from : Tim Everhart

That was fun!
Comment from : kim scudiero

What happened with the concrete floor is called spalding
Comment from : Ulious

Well done!!!!!!!!!!
Comment from : Robert Marquiss

Music is way too loud, otherwise I would have LOVED to watch this! Why not just ditch the music altogether? It doesn't add anything to the content, and will only result in lost views/subs Just a thought! Best of luck
Comment from : Stuff Bud Duz

The date came out backwards because the stamps on the dies were forwards
Comment from : Nicholas Guhrson

Did he say he used gold?!??
Comment from : Galactic Customs

would probably work better with a hydraulic press about 20 ton
Comment from : mark rady

Excellent Thanks
Comment from : unclejake154

Hey, those aren't half bad! I think they turned out pretty cool! Maybe some kind of screw press with consistent pressure and some kind of key to keep the dies in the right orientation could improve the results, but this method is more or less how coins were made for centuries
Comment from : Kraken Casting

The ancient Greek and middle ages coins are made by casting they are raff and every one is unique, strapping is a modern invention,nice try you got almost right ,the coins that are going to be strapped the are already perfect and they just fit the edge don't change, they use a press and very powerful at that ,I like your hammer technic
Comment from : Nick Blacksoul

Comment from : Frank Rodriguez

Pretty good results for a makeshift mint press If you make your engravings shallower the detail will come out more, otherwise you will need to use some sort of press Also, might be easier to just get a flat piece of sheet metal of the metal you want to use and stamp out the blanks Casting works but seemed like so much more work haha
Comment from : Kurt Silsby

Pretty cool, that was all from junk lying around I almost thought you were using gold for a while and started crying when you took it to the grinder, i looked up Nordic gold though haha
Comment from : DiabolicDoug

The few times I've seen folks making their own coins, they have a guillotine style weight drop on the dies
Comment from : Daren Robertson

Use a press
Comment from : goodbuddysal

Acid etching? So tool Wonder if you can stamp coins from plastic bottle caps
Comment from : S Munro

Using tool steel will get you a better, longer-lasting dies
Comment from : Johnathan Saegal

I think if you are making them for detail you should sand cast instead of hammering because those US prints on the first coins was excellent I'm interested in gold so you have helped me in my gold journey Thanks bro
