April 7, 201511 yr I was just looking over the Game of Thrones (and other fantasy) coins that Tom Maringer has been striking over at shirepost.com; he started out with one screwpress and was striking coins more as a fan and now has expanded to being a mint. The quality is awesome, not much of a surprise when you consider the quality of the swords he used to make,He's an old friend of mine, (I brokered the deal for his first screwpress, he and his wife introduced me to the lady I have been married to for 30+ years.), so I am partial to his work. But anyway it's an interesting look at what else you can do with a screw/fly press
April 7, 201511 yr Greetings TP, what can be done on the fly press is only limited to your imagination. It would take the next 7 days to post what I do.. If you can dream it , it can be done.. Just a little sample picture of a jig for spring tooling. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim
April 7, 201511 yr Thomas, my wife and I each have a set of his Game of Thrones coins, and we brought them to use at the 'A Game of Thrones' Card Game world championship last November.Neither of us placed, but the coins were a hit. I think I rummaged up a good amount of business for Shirepost that weekend!
April 8, 201511 yr Author I think it's neat that he was doing this under license years before GoT was on TV.
April 8, 201511 yr Thank goodness he was! It'd be a different ballgame trying to license it now.I've been a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire for years, and started playing the card game the year before the hbo show.My first daughter's name is Arya.
April 8, 201511 yr Jim, your set-up looks almost too nice and clean to use I like ...as the song goes, how about some more pictures? We like those!
January 16, 201610 yr Yes, come on Jim. I am kind of stuck for ideas on my fly press too. We do love photos!!! Lots of thanks in advance.
January 16, 201610 yr Greetings Johnnie, I lost a lot of pictures on and old computer ... I will try a few that I have on this one.. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim
