FAQ Content

In this brief video I discuss how I like to remove the reeded edge of a coin ring in the event of existing knicks and/or damage done to the reeds during the forging process; as well as how to round out the thinner, rough cut side of my coin rings. Props to Dave for “coining” the term “coin ring lips”!

The advantage to using the Rounding, Finishing, and Polishing mandrel Set is that as the ring is held on tightly to the tapered mandrel that’s spinning while being attached to your power drill; it acts much like a small lathe, providing a much more uniform finish to the ring than can be achieved with either hand-sanding, using a nail buffing file, a steel round-file, or even a small rotary tool such as a Dremel.

*** TO BEGIN ***

1.) Determine which size tapered rubber mandrel fits your completed coin ring, and slide the coin ring on to it.

2.) Place the mandrel bit into your power drill and tighten.

3.) Adjust the coin ring until it’s well-balanced with no “wobbling” on the mandrel with your power drill on, and then expand the mandrel by tightening the Stainless Steel Phillips head set screw at the top which holds the coin ring securely in place.

4.) Begin on the outer edge of the coin ring with the coarser 100 Grit sandpaper and work your way around to the inner edge of the coin ring; making sure that ONLY the corner tip of the sandpaper is making contact with the unfinished inner, top, and outer edges of your coin ring to prevent damage to the rings’ detail. Take your time with this step; especially when you’re first starting out.

5.) Continue to work the inner, top, and outer edges of whichever side of your coin ring you’re working on using the finer Grits of sandpaper as you go; finishing with “0000” Steel Wool. You can also use the steel wool and LIGHTLY go over the inner and the outer detail of the coin ring before you either polish it with a jeweler’s cloth or after you’ve put a patina (antique-looking) finish on the ring.

6.) The final step is to use a jeweler’s cloth to both buff and finish-polish your coin ring.

Your coin ring will now have a highly-smoothed, rounded, and polished edge on both the reeded and the non-reeded side that is not often seen on coin rings!

Other materials needed: a power drill, 3 different grits of sandpaper; (I use 200 Grit, 500 Grit, and 1,000 Grit), some “0000” Steel Wool, and a jeweler’s polishing cloth to complete this process. Those items can be purchased from Amazon.com; at a big box store like Home Depot, or any local hardware store inexpensively.

*** SAFETY FIRST ***
- Always wear safety glasses and work gloves.
- Always use caution when working with any power tools and electricity.
- Keep fingers, long hair, and loose clothing away from any fast moving parts.

How to Dump Your Black and Grey Holding Tanks

• To avoid accidentally opening a valve before you’ve inserted the hose into the sewer, ALWAYS insert your sewer hose into the dump station’s hole first. Make certain that the sewer hose elbow is tightly secured in the dump station hole. Then twist the sewer hose connection to the RV’s sewer connection. Once you’re sure that everything is connected and secured properly, you’re ready to perform the tank dumping process.

• When emptying both the black and grey tanks, dump the black water tank first before the grey water tank so the soapy water from the grey tank can clean the residue from the hose. While listening and ‘feeling’ the hose, you’ll hear/feel the liquid draining. Once it stops draining, close the valve.

• After your black and grey tanks are empty, perform the black tank rinse, filling the tank to two-thirds full and repeat the emptying process.

• Check to make sure that both your black and grey water tank valves are closed.

• Make sure that the RV tank outlet cover is securely twisted back on.

• Disconnect the sewer hose at the RV, and run water through the sewer hose to rinse it out. Remove the sewer hose from the dump station hole and rinse the outside of the hose. Rinse the area around the hole to ensure that any spillage has been cleaned up and cover the dump station hole.

• Don’t dump the black water tank until it is at least two-thirds full. If the tank is not two-thirds full add some water to the black tank prior to disconnecting from the campsite water hookup.

• NEVER fill your fresh water tank from a non-potable water source. Fill your fresh water tank at home, or at the campsite prior to disconnecting from your water source.

• Don’t leave the black water tank valve open while hooked up at a campsite sewer. This will cause liquids to drain, but leaves the solid waste behind to harden on the bottom of the tank.

• Use a good quality sewer hose. Don’t go for the cheaper hoses, as they will not hold up, and the last thing you want is to have the hose start leaking when you’re dumping the black tank. We actually carry 3 10’ Rhino brand sewer hoses. These collapse to roughly 32”, and all 3 fit nicely into our rear trailer bumper. We’ve only had to use 3 hoses once, so only having 2 hoses would normally be enough.

• Inspect your sewer hose after each dump. If the hose is starting to look worn, replace it.

• Carry an extra garden hose for tank rinsing in case the dump station doesn’t have one, or the dump station hose connection is ‘buggered up’. We use a solid green hose, which is a totally different color that our fresh water hoses. If the sign states non-potable water, always use the green hose. We use a white/blue and a solid blue hose for our fresh water.

• Store the non-potable water hose separately in an area where it won’t come into contact with your fresh water hose. We store the fresh water hoses in a plastic container, while we store the non-potable hose in another.

• NEVER use your fresh water hose for rinsing sewer hoses or the dump station area. NEVER!

• Wear protective rubber gloves and avoid touching the outside of the gloves.

• Even if other RVers are waiting to use the dump station, take your time, and empty and flush your tanks. Remember, those waiting in line have to perform the same tasks, so they’ll understand what you’re doing. And this whole process should only take you 10 – 15 minutes.

• Before you begin to add your chemicals and water to the holding tanks, always pull far enough up and out-of-the-way from the dump station, which allows the next RVer in line to start their dumping process.

• Never put anything other than the contents of your holding tanks into the sewer. Deposit your trash in the appropriate trash can at the dump station area.

• NEVER leave the dump station area cluttered with your trash or effluent. Always leave the dump station area cleaner than you found it. On our 30 day park hopping trip, we had to spend an extra 20 minutes cleaning up after someone’s effluent on the pavement. It’s a nasty cleaning chore to say the least, so PLEASE clean up after yourself.
