Had a member here cast a challenge coin for me, Thanks Jeremy!
Learn i need to invest in quality turning tools and learn how to sharpen better.

coin looks like this except the cast was a silver coin

John, the stopper looks great. I am glad that it worked out for you. How did the others turn out?

jeremy,
I ended up saying what the heck, went straight to this one and turned it. Figured if i going to mess it up might as well go ahead and do it.

I did take a big chunk out of the black. but it worked out good, can not even tell i took the chunk out of it.

I do need to go back over this one after taking the pictures noticed some chatter in it that i didn't see before.

but going to wait and get some better chisels before cleaning it up.

thanks again.

if you ever do a tutorial on casting these alot of people would thank you.

i was going to inquire how you cast this. a few questions if you will...

1) did you have to cast the clear with black powder or something in it first and then place the coin somewhat centered and cast again with clear on top?

2) what did you use for a mold? pvc or something?

3) pressure pot or no?

i think it looks hot! nice job.
