duckkisser Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 my friend has a cnc router that he just got i think that im going to have him make me some small disks with my name and "company name" and emblem on them then i can just use a forstner and glue the disks in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 If you want to keep those medallions to a reasonable size, a laser engraver might work better than a cnc router. But the routed version may have more of a "woodworker" appearance. *Edit* I wonder if it would be too cheesy to engrave your initials on an appropriately-dated coin, and inlay that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanPatterson Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 My wife designed a custom branding iron for me a few Christmases back. I really like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Looks good Jordan ! I have seen a new coin glued into a forstner drilled recess to show the year and then a signature or brand below that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I made a recipe holder for my DIL, Penny, for her bd. In the top, I used a forstner bit to recess two pennies, one for the year she was born and one for the year I made it for her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 nice idea coop, i'll have to remember that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Up here we don't have pennies & Lee Valley sold out of the nickel & dime sized forstner bits. If I put a loonie or a toonie in there, people are just gonna dig them out & spend them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Put a US penny in anyway - you'll seem like an international man of mystery then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the US is NEVER going to get rid of their pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
