Gettin' All Bloggy

I usually have plenty to say, I just haven't been saying it in a blog. In an effort to let more people around the world (and around the block) know about the silver coin rings my Dad and I make, I've started this blog. Updating it and posting new stuff to it will require creating a new habit and you know what's said about "teaching an old dog new tricks". This is the 1st installment of my new trick!

To start at the beginning: I sell coin rings made from .900 silver US Half Dollar and Quarter Dollar coins. In other words, I take a silver coin and transform it into a silver ring, leaving as much of the original details as possible on it. Dad taught me how to do this back in 1993 when I returned from a summer spent playing music in Denmark and (unexpectedly) found myself with lots more leisure time on my hands.

Here's one of my rings, it's made from a 1937 Walking Liberty Half Dollar:



He and I each sell our rings on eBay, my username is 'ZippyStevey' there and my store is named 'WeMakeSilverCoinRings'.
http://stores.ebay.com/We-Make-Silver-Coin-Rings

I also have a shop on Etsy.com, oddly enough, also named 'WeMakeSilverCoinRing'...
apparently, they didn't have enough room to allow me the 's' on the end of 'rings'. http://www.etsy.com/shop/WeMakeSilverCoinRing

I doubt you'd now be terribly surprised to learn that I also have a website named....

wait for it .....

yes, you guessed it......

http://www.wemakesilvercoinrings.com/ 

Being a webmaster is another trick to learn, and it's going fairly well, I feel.

I've also recently created 2 other websites to promote my music projects.
One is my solo: http://www.evenstevenband.com/
and the other is my new duo: http://www.gettheboomerbrothers.com/  

That's all I have for now, if you feel like it, go check out more of my rings at any of the places I included above. I can custom make one or two of them for you, if you'd like. I can make them from a size 5 to about a 15. Just "give me a holler", as they say 'round here in western Virginia.
If you made it this far; thanks for reading my ramblings.
