57chevy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I did put a couple "nickels" in the mail late last week, Glad to hear they're being delivered. I have half dozen or so left if anyone wants to trade, not spectacular, they're homemade and a bit larger than normal but something different. I'll try to snap a pic. sometime. Quote Link to comment
+softball29 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) I have just gone through this thread (yeah, that was a fast process... haha) and I love it. As someone who is really getting into collecting signature items -- especially wood coins and such (I usually pass on the paper things as they wrinkle too easily and such), I thought I'd throw my wood coin up here to see if anyone would like to trade with me. I used to have buttons, too, but alas I'm out of them and not sure when/if I'll restock. Here's my wood coin, however: Drop me a PM or e-mail through the caching website if you are interested in trading! I'll be peeking back through the thread soon, too, in hopes of finding some I hope to trade with! I have also gone back through a bunch of the thread and have sent many e-mails. Hope there's some trades out there! Edited December 26, 2008 by softball29 Quote Link to comment

+The Weasel Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 And just as a side note, for me, it doesn't even need to be wooden nickel. I trade for all sig items! Quote Link to comment
+softball29 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have a question for those who make their own wood nickels... How do you do it. As it is now, I have them made. But I'd be interested in doing my own if it could be cheaper or if I could "change" things every now and then. Quote Link to comment
+Boots... Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I design all my nickels in Photoshop, then use a rotary cutter to trim them to 1.4 inches. I glue them to the wooden nickels with a careful application of Tacky Glue (squirt a dollow on one, then press another nickel against it, squeezed tightly to apply a smooth layer of glue to each nickel). Once all of the A-side graphics are glue on, I lay them all out on a large sheet of cardboard and apply a coating of spray polyeurethane to prevent the inks from bleeding. Then I glue the B-side graphics, and spray that side. Once all the faces are on and sprayed, then I use a paintbrush and a high-gloss varnish. I put 3-4 coats of varnish on each side. If I do 30 or more nickels at a time, it works out pretty well that by the time I get a coat of varnish on the last nickel, the first ones have dried, and I can immediately start a second coat. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes for a coat of varnish to dry. If I am "in the zone" I can finish off all the glueing (both sides), all the spraying (both sides) and all of the varnish (one side) for about 50-60 nickels in one night. Then I do the B-side varnish, 3-4 coats, on the second night. Once they are dry, I slip each nickel into its own 1.75x2.5" poly bag. Thats my process anyway. There are easier, faster and cheaper ways to do them. It's all a matter of preference. Quote Link to comment

+Boots... Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Got packages today from Softball and Ziggy Crew. Nice work, guys! Softball, just an FYI, your nickel arrived here broken at the seam. I, too, took the approach of a dab of glue and it will be fine. It seems that the seams line up on each of the sides. leaving a very thin piece of wood holding the coin together. You might want to re-think how you package them. I think your packaging would be just fine for most nickels, but your unique design requires a bit more protection. Not sure what to recommend. bubble wrap? not sure... titanium plating? lol! Quote Link to comment
