Are you using anything to adhere the penny to the jig or dod you just place the penny in and start carving?

The first two pennies had enough friction fit in the jig to carve cleanly. The third penny started to slip slightly at the end. I was using a scrap piece of pine so you may have better luck with a harder material or using an adhesive.

awesome project I was just wondering how deep was the engrave on the penny? and what kind of spindle where you using?
