Re: Over Engineered - perhaps
Hey Kurt B - the dowel pins have a problem. The bottom needs to be a "hinge" so that the top springs in. If it doesn't the coin will have a great tendency to come out because the bottom will wedge in further than the top, so the coin holding section will have a negative taper (small at the bottom larger at the top). The pins sound good but will cause taper and coin popping or moving. A long thick cut works, like on the square one because the clamps squeeze the top and put a positive taper on the coin holding it in place.
Just how simple is this thing?
Still think final "seating" should be some of that heat set stuff, with the holding area having notches in it to retain the stuff after it sets and the coin removed.
