This project was a team effort with me and my friend kenny, the woods used are maple, cherry,walnut and Appletong. The chairs hold four coins each and swivel when rotated. One side support is hollow to conceal a large rubber band that goes to a clock motor mounted under the base, when turned on the wheel makes one complete revolution every twenty seconds. The idea was mine and the design was kennys this build took two hundred hours or so to build. The wheel is 18” and the cabinet is 36” tall. This was a gift.

Since the Challenge Coin is a Marine thing, I want to thank you for your service to our country. This will give
your friend a wonderful spot to show off his coins and history of his time in the Corps. Thank you for sharing,
and may you have a wonderful Christmas.

Excellent work!
And aslo, thank you for your service to our coutnty.
I just thought I would add this note
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by the organization’s members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization”

Bluepine and Woodshaver ,thank you for the compliments, however I must clarify. One thing , I did not serve in the Core and would never represent myself as such for to do so would be like stealing valor from the brave men and women who did and do serve. The person that this was made for did serve proudly.

Most creative coin display I have ever seen..and the fact that is rotates….wow! My favority part is the flames on the sides….small but yet shows the smallest of details. You guys did a great job..makes a flat block with slots look like a piece of scrap in comparison…..
