Yeah, no problem -- in order:

  1. There's several places to get the tools, OttoFrei, Harbor Freight, Rio Grande, all have sites you can order from.

  2. That's a doming block, here's a really fancy one I wish I had! Mine's only a 7-piece, does what I need for the most part. It's not 100% necessary for most coin rings, but it has two primary uses here: First you can use it to help pre-stretch the hole and bend the coin back -- if the coin fits on the mandrel fine, then this isn't needed, as you can just hammer it from there. But if the hole punched is too small to fit the mandrel naturally, you can use a smaller dome, just a bit bigger than the hole to stretch it out. Secondly, once the rings are almost done, the outer rim edge is always thicker, so the rings have a flared effect, I use the dome punch to flare the thinner "inner" edge out so the ring appears more flat. It looks better and feels better when wearing it.

  3. The metal ring sizer is called a ring mandrel, most hobby stores carry them.


  4. I used red rouge compound, I have a flex-shaft which makes for quick work, but if you have a dremmel, you can get polishing bits for it, too.
