Hi Marg: Thanks Everyone here is way too kind First of all, I made a holder for the coin. I just traced the coin on a piece of 5/8" plywood and cut that out on the scrollsaw. 5/8" is too thick for a holder. I just jammed the coin in the holder and it rested at the bottom of the holder. It held really good but the wood was too thick. Made it too hard to see where I was cutting. Once I drilled my hole in the coin and started cutting I stopped because I didn't have a good view of the coin, when I started my saw the blade broke immediately. Have to back the blade up to where I started and work my way back to where I stopped. Did that twice. Then I had to find the right speed. Once all this was in place it went rather well. I tried to rush my way through the coin. Bottom line: Use a holder, find the right speed,(slower as opposed to faster), let the saw do the work and don't rush. make sure you have a clear view of where you're cutting at all times. I will be trying it again. The lessons here are pretty basic techniques that apply to wood also. Think of the coin as being wood and it all works out. Give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. What I did here was pretty basic. Not detailed at all but a good first project. Fab4

Rob: Never before, I just couldn't let Randy have all the fun with the coins I had to try it I will try a few more soon, now that I have all this experience...lol Fab4

Oh, I get it now, I was wondering where all those scratches came from Fab4

Well, I did it Took me 5 blades of which 3 broke because of my inability to have patience. It's a coin of Curtis Joseph when he was with Edmonton Oilers I know a lot of you don't know who he is, or care but I had this coin just laying around. Gordster, remember him??? It's far from being what I wanted to accomplish but I had to try Thanks Randy for the lessons on coin cutting. It is a bit different than wood, that's for sure. Fab4 Should have added the first time, it sure doesn't belong in the bragging section
