  1. I made very nice serviceable wedding bands out of old silver quarters. I held them between my thumb and forefinger against my leg and struck them repetitively with the bowl of a teaspoon or a smooth butter knife handle. They turned slightly with each blow, and I worked my way around and around until I achieved the proper diameter for my beloved's finger. I then drilled out the center and filed it with a rat tail file. Voila, a nice silver band! One of the really cool things about them was that you could read the words "In God We Trust" and Quarter Dollar that were around the rim of the coins on the inside of the rings. One note tho, you have to work with the old silver coins not the sandwich coins of today. Later, Steve2
