Create your own ring using nothing more than a buffalo nickel, a hammer, and a lot of patience and time! Buffalo nickels are nice because they seem to be a little more malleable than the usual nickels you find nowadays.



The basic premise of the project is to hammer along the sides of the coin until they flatten out. This instructable adds a variant where you add another coin on the outside so that it can swivel around the main one. This instructable doesn't have the best pictures, but at least it'll get you goin with the knowledge that it *can* be done!



Things you'll need:



1) A buffalo nickel

2) A Dremel tool (optional but nice to have)

3) A glove (sometimes drilling the coins can make them really hot)

4) A lot of time (anywhere from 10-20 hours, depending on how much effort you put into it)

5) A hammer
