Help! I can't stop looking at these Coins .....

I think of all the disciplines I've learned, the techniques I've developed, machinery I've built, dies/tool I've learned to make; in order for it to all come together in these Coins. .



AND, it makes such a compact, uniquely personal, amazingly affordable example of my work. It will bring a smile of appreciation to anyone. I swear, if you hand one of these coins to a Billionaire .... And tell him it's "handmade", it will start a pleasant conversation. Nobody will ignore them. Nobody is EVER going to throw one of these away. It's such a compact conversation starter!!!!

and 2000 years from now, when these are "discovered" by future archaeologists, they will try to discern what secret society developed this coinage....

a lost group of Greek loving, pneumatic pirates!!!!!

I especially like the way Gary can hammer in that finish around the printing and engraving, takes skill.

And a teeeny, tiny little hammer.

Thank you Sean.

It's nice to be recognized and appreciated.

When you open up your commercial operation doing tours of the shop, you can carve out your own dies for the obligatory "penny squisher" machine. Stick it right between the snow cone vendor and the cotton candy booth.

Ah Sean.

There IS a way to represent my life's work in a Cheesy manner!

Well you ARE in Florida after all, right there in the same exact state as the Kingdom of the Evil Mouse, practically right next door to Orlando.

You could put out some brochures, get your operation on the list of tourist attractions. "Go see Didknee Land, swing on by Universal Moovieos, then when you're done with all those low-budget amateur operations you can come see BARNES PNEUMATIC SOUTH!" Take a left at the third gator farm, turn right at the next Snake-a-torium, then stop on by for a visit.

No Smoking and Do Not Feed The Artist, he's on a special diet.

If it weren't for the distance .... I've been looking for a Marketing Genius. An there you are ......

Durn, had it all planned out too. Admittedly there is always the problem of the kids who want to poke the captive artist with a stick, but I was gonna charge extra for that.

May as well run this right into the ground .....

"How to you CATCH an Artist/Craftsperson"

Answer: Put a workbench, with several tools atop; in the woods. Then watch it. Said Artist will appear, and walk straight to it with no fear.
