Wood Turning - Pennies

[Music] all right you may ask what is he doing well I'm sorting through pennies this penny here which is 2,000 is made from ninety seven point five percent zinc and two point five percent copper not as easy to turn as this penny which is from nineteen seventy three and it is made from ninety five percent copper and five percent zinc so in nineteen eighty two are meant in in the America went to this penny which is more of zinc and less copper since copper is considered a semi precious metal prior to 1962 there was tin in side these pennies so we're gonna try to stay anywhere between 1962 and 1981 just to keep that we have the 95 percent copper and five percent zinc otherwise it'll have some 10 mixed in [Music] [Music] [Music] I have no idea what color to do this so we're going to do lemon yellow who knows might look good my knot same thing from the tabs that then flew out I'm not sure if you can see it nothing flew out [Music] another penny flew out this may not work I think I just got to go slow I'm standing way over to the side because these pennies are shooting out flying everywhere it's all the pennies that are facing out that are shooting out I don't think any of these will but these aren't adhered to the well I didn't think they would but they'll fly out so I gotta get some gloves on this uh this copper's fling it into my arms killing that's awesome right there although [Music] there's another one oh that one's hot see the back part of it well those are all the facing ones I had somebody talk about that maybe if I would have scuffed up each one before our poured that might have helped but I don't think it would really go flying everywhere I think once these ones that are facing us or done I think it will stop sit now [Music] I'm not sure you could see all the facts in there very important to wear safety gear while doing this [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] every time they Turner tons of old and he has a complete meltdown of the bowl it's always when he has to do one last thing to it but on this side I need to get this resin down a little bit more right there and then it will all be right there and we'll see the pennies there too so yeah one more thing to do [Music] little more [Music] all righty little needles poking me in the arm you can see all that a little bit more [Music] that's okay now [Music] let's see what happens when I stand it up I found one little tiny inclusion I use some medium star bond on that it's an accelerator got to keep going there's a big chunk right here where a piece of penny fell out all right I think what I'm doing is chasing the rabbit here every time I get it down another one flies out so I'm going to fill this sucker with some some fast-setting total boat right here and we'll go for there [Music] couple of days later hot little off and then off [Music] tell me if you can figure out where one of our pennies was not in 1982 or before has to be 81 or before it's right there that is a newer blend [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we got to get it below this stuff certain it's coming [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh let's talk about this time and this is this is probably the scariest thing I've ever turned with them Penny's shooting out every 10 seconds I'm gonna put a picture right over here so you can see what the pennies look like okay shooting out of here you got all collected them all up over the shop so things that I will never try again turning pennies okay these things do not adhere even if you scuff them up I don't think so but as I started turning the inside the outside you can feel they started slipping out the force of it started slipping out that could have been really bad I stayed off to the side the whole time it's a little thick I left it thick because I wanted to be able to see these pennies in there the way they are and I think it came out amazing don't get me wrong but I don't think I'll ever turn pennies again all right if there's your first time here head on down hit the subscribe button I got a few more videos coming out real soon you guys may enjoy go ahead and check me out on Instagram and Facebook and if you like go ahead give me a thumbs up share the video alright until next time stay cool you
