Here are some simple photographs taken at our mobile workshop which travels around various shows, exhibitions and festivals. The mobile workshop often includes only a piercing saw, blades, a drill, a vice and a chair to work from. And of course coins!

Below the pictures detail the cutting of an old English three pence coin. Firstly holes are very small holes are drilled. The saw is 'fed' into each hole. Each 'holed' section is then cut away. Delicately and often painstakingly following the pattern of the coin. The end result is quite beautiful.

See the handcut English coin collection for the end result...
