Paul, great looking coin displays my friend!!!!!!! If you have any other woodworkers here and would like to help out throughout the year, we build the displays at www.thepatriotwoodworker.com and we send them to The Wounded Warrior Project for our wounded troops. Our last shipment went out to Bethesda Naval Hospital. The Sailors and Marines loved them!

Great looking displays here, and thank you dads and moms for your loved ones service to our country.

Love that Rosewood Paul!!!! And the cherry is a great compliment to it as well. I'll be checking back in to see what you come up with! So the holes are going to fit the coins diameter? Am I envisioning this correctly?

this is going to be sandwiched between glass so you can see face and obverse of the coins......and correct with the assumption about the holes for the coins...

Now if I only had about 250-300 more sq feet of workshop and about $5K in power tools it would make this stuff much easier!!!!  Essentially all I have is a 35yr old Wards (PowerKraft) radial arm saw and a bench top drill press, a 30-yr old Black and Decker router, and assorted hand tools......

Can't wait to see the finished product Paul. Even though your tools may be a little old, looks like they still work and you will find a way.
