In this video I show how you can make a very simple metal swaging tool for use on the lathe. This is the tool that I use to secure decorative inlaid coins in my brass containers, boxes, fire pistons and many other items that look good with a picture coin. If you watch the video to the end you will see close ups of the tool plus me using it. So you will see all that you need to know to be able to make and use your own swaging tool.
