I would like some nice 49 & 62 1/2 pennies & pennies cheap please.
Thank you
I have a bag of pennies somewhere, I will have a look for them tomorrow for you, if I find any they are yours, don't know what condition they are in.. I know there are 62 pennies, I will find you a pretty one :winkextra:
Much appreciated, thanks AC..if you find one to send chuck in a coin that you like but isn't really worth much and I'll make you something as well :good:
i also have both
so if AC doesn't have the years - let me know
i am a big collector of the 1960's pennies and halfpennies so always have extras
do you know what grade you are after?
or colours?
Sweet, thanks Robbie :good:
I want nice coins but don't have to be top of the pop as I'll be putting them in things like these and what ever else I can think of, and sorry for my crappy pic's but it come up pretty good so far :)

and this was just a bit of scrap..I can do a bit with scrap :good:
so will you bevel (is that the right word?) down and glue the coin in
which would mean that you only need one side of the coin to be looking attractive?
looks good to me
For me one good side is fine and prefer the date being the good side thanks but if you'd like one, what ever side you'd like to show off and I have spade bits to put a little recess in and yes glue the little suckers in so it's not going anywhere as they might fall out other wise :good:
ok
so now i'd like to order a strong coat rack one
and have one penny one side and another the other side
a his and hers
the hook needs to be smooth so that it doesn't damage the coat
i'll send ya the '58 and '62 pennies
i always have my coat flung over the nearest chair
and it drives the hubby nuts
ps how would i fix it to a wall?
I hope hubby calls ya 99 'cause that's bloody good thinkin mate :good: I was asked to make a little keyring holder but I might have to have a think about other things as well..thanks for the idea Robbie so leave it with me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with for hooks :)
Now, a few questions, how big would you like it and how many hooks..is it going to be permanent and how handy is hubby. And I just had a thought if it's his and her's, could you please send 4 coins, 2 with the years and 1 of KGV or VI for his and a Regina for you but it's just a thought :good:
The above keyring holder is about 23.5cm (9 1/4") x 6.2cm (2 1/2") and shouldn't have that much weight so I'm thinking about using double sided tape but will screw it to the wall if the tape doesn't work.
Thinking of things to make AJ did you see the post of my Ladys dated paperweight.
Very nice and thanks for the pic Ron :good:

oh dear
just had the idea
now you're getting technical
we wear wool coats here so they are fair sized
the rack needs to have them hanging with some space space it might have to be a fair size
so i suppose it would be screwed or have the hanging thingees at the back to go onto screws in the wall?
another idea i had, is that coins in acrylic holders could be inserted
i.e. so you have the back half of the acrylic holder glued in the recess
and then you can put any coin of any year half-p or penny etc if you had the right sized inner ring
that way the coin isn't destroyed in the process
might be a tad more technical but it woul dgive you flexibility for orders - especially if the customer cancels the order and your're stuck with certain years etc
doesn't even need coins
I'd just like a handmade coat rack
that wood looks beautiful
this is how the coin looks the holder - top cover off and then top cover on - just pushes on

Oooo another good idea, thanks mate. So is it to go on a wall or behind the door? And it's scrap cypress pine left over from a rabbit hutch I made a freinds kid..it cost me about $40 to make and it's mostly solid hardwood and to buy one a quater of the size made from rubbish was $60 so my freind & kid are pretty happy with the new one and it has wire on the bottom to stop it getting out and the other one didn't..just so cheap and nasty but this one should last a really long time :good:
hey AJ I got some pic for you to look at what I found, ill email you soon, xx
Cypress is one of the best unused timbers we have and leaves soft crappy pine for dead..here's a link if you'd like to read a little about it..and the woodchip is really good in the garden..it's pretty good stuff all round :good: http://www.hardwood.timber.net.au/species/cypresspine.htm
Sweet, thanks AC :good:
looks very much like the floor boards in our house and it seems to grow near here as well, might be the same wood - in that link the floorboards like exactly like our floor boards
AJ We are mates so why are you wanting to destroy our old coppers Mate:dodgy:
I have ice-cream containers full of these beautiful old coins and wish to pass these on for what they are.
Gluing them onto coat/key racks is the last thing I would like for my old coins, Why not simply use the circulating decimal coins we are using now:angel:
At the end of our days we are simply custodians of the coins we own and the better we treat them, the better they will be in years to come :ok:
and it smells really nice too :mocking:
Here's what I've just been playing with..very rough for now but ok for first go :good:
this is spade bit
(http://i48.tinypic.com/2elqxj9.jpg)
and u-tac/blu-tack work ok but I think the oils in it would mark the coin
(http://i47.tinypic.com/34r9lyc.jpg)
this is a hole..it needs more work :mocking:
(http://i45.tinypic.com/dzhsut.jpg)
and I have these holder but have a few other ides as well, just have to see what look ok

I hear ya trout, but that's why I asked for old ones and I don't have so much of a problem using copper but be #$@!ed if I'd use silver..don't think I could come at that. And I started as mum asked me for a keyring holder with her birthyear so here I am..so no disrespect to our precious coins intended mate ;good: I'll use anything and everything..or what ever you'd like me to use, even nibbles eyes would look pretty good :mocking: Ok I'll leave that nibbles alone as well..gee you lot are tough :mocking:
So what modern coin would cover your birth year :cards: snap :biggrin:
i can post you over my coin capsules
they are really nice ( i get them from the usa - air tites)
anyways, with or without coins i'm happy
but i would prefer a coin in a holder if that is possible (just for a special order) as it will keep it's colour - i think!!
anyways, pm is fine if you're interested
don't want to to ruin your friendship with anyone
no coins is fine by me too
i am just keen on the coat holder now after seeing your key ring holder
and your passion for working with the wood
cheers rob
Hey Robbie, sorry but like I said I needed a few days and I remembered using these on the farm. They're about 6 inch long and about 1/2 inch thick at the head, they cost $1.45 at bunning (but I'll look at rural suppliers next as normally cheaper) and they had these nice rustic copper looking double and also single hooks but they're over $5 each :( I aslo found some keyring holders that looked like crap and they wanted $15 and it was round this time that everything went black as I fainted :mocking: I really can't believe what they charge for some things that are just rubbish..they should be wearing masks and holding guns as it's bloody hiway robbery I tell ya.
Any thoughts and feedback most welcome :good:

:dash1: Forgot sorry, and I'd cut them down to about 2 1/2 to 3" or shorter depending on the look and glue them in :good:
