I know it may seem like I'm workin alot on quarters right now but this is over the last few days, in between casting snakeskins and other things. So I thought I would share with you a proof clad Kentucky quarter.

WOW! Awesome! Outstanding! Sorry, the correct words completely fail me at this time. How about fantastic? Nah, that aint it either.

Two more double shots of "107 Antique Old Weller" Kentucky's finest straight bourbon just to calm my nerves thinking about scrolling that fence.
Seamus you must stop this or Dee's going to make me attend AA meetings.

Correct me but isn't it against the law to deface government property ?? The Kentucky quarter looks great and a lot of work I'm sure.

Al, That is popular misinterpretation of the law. In short, that would be correct if i were to alter the value of the coin for a higher amount, and try to pass it off for such amount. The fact that I am removing these coins from circulation is all that matters. I can do whatever I want at this point as far as cutting goes! Think about it, people make jewelry, belt buckles, all kinds of stuff using coins and have for years and years, heck, you can even pay fifty cents to smash a penny!

Well, heck if you're selling them for $.25 (you know not altering the value of the coin) put me down for a few.:biggrin:

If you had a quarter for every one of these you did....wait never mind.:rolleyes:
 
Seamus, that is a sweet looking Quarter, as many as you're doing I sure hope you use some type Elbow support, it might not be too bad now, but about 60 to 65 all that short stroke sawing with a jewelers saw will turn into something similar to Tennis Elbow, after close to 30 years doing Silversmith work, my right elbow sure knows about it. I guess though if a feller was rich enough they could get a nice GOOD quality saw like a Hegner (sp) or RBI Hawk and make life easier and less damaging.

Yeah, the quarter is still only 25¢, but the price of the brass tube goes way up.:wink:
 
Seamus ... Excellent scroll saw work. May I ask where do you buy your blades from and which size ones do you use?

Keep up the excellent work on your quarters as it seems to keep Ole Roy in drinking mode! :bulgy-eyes:
