Here are four new quarters I've cut out, well, the SC isn't new, just a little more intricately done! In between finishing some orders I decided over the last few weeks that I would cut one here and there. So I decided to see what you all think pic them. All comments good or bad, critiques, our questions welcome!

Love them all. I can't pick. Especially with Michigan not there. Is that all you do is cut quarters or do you have a day job? This must take sooooo much time! Well done as usual!

thats hilarious! Yes I have a day job, I typically work around 50-60 hours a week and when I get home in the evenings from around 6:30 till 10pm is when i work on them. But I have been wrapping up my recent blank orders and cutting these while blanks are in the molds being cast. The California quarter took me around an hour to cut, but spread out within around a 3hour period.
So yes, these do take time but they all so challenging, I truly enjoy working on them.:biggrin:
 
Hey Seamus, The Cali quarter looks great. I'm sure my buddy I work with is going to love it.

Thanks for all your work you put into to these quarters.

I'm curious about how you bend the quarters around the tubes. Are they full thickness?

Your cutting is amazing. I feel like I'm seeing the work of a magician. Always get that "how'd he do that?!!" feeling.

Are you telling me Seamus is pulling these quarters out of someones ear and then cutting them? That is impressive!

I bend them very carefully:rolleyes:, and they are paper thin.

I heard through the Grapevine that there's a crazy Hillbilly blank goin down south very soon:eek:. Don't know if the IAP community is ready for such a thing. But I know someone who is! Aw what the heck, here's a sneak preview. I think a few things from this picture will be on the blank.

In the mail!

Ernie, you never told me you had inside connections to the Colonel!:biggrin: Love me some chicken!
 
Seamus, that was the Colonel himself at the 2008 Ky Derby. That picture was taken in the paddock area.
 
Here is an updated picture of the California quarter blank. Since the Cali flag has the red strip across the bottom of it, I decided to match that on the bottom barrel. Any visible (flaws) so to speak are on the very outside edge of the blanks and do NOT effect or jeopardize the integrity of the end result. All comments, critiques, criticisms welcome!

I really like that. You made the right choice carrying the red stripe down the lower barrel. It's going to make a sharp pen.
