How to make a rose out of sheet metal.

Instead of forging the sepals en forging the petals they are made of sheet metal. Only those things which you can find in your garage the link for downloading the petals drafts. Today we re going to make a metal rose without welding forging special tools and preparation. Slide your pieces on the rod if they decide to be difficult lay them on a socket and hit the stem with a hammer make sure your rod is not mushroomed or all you will do is dent your piece.

First thing you want to do when making a metal rose is make sure you have everything you will need to complete the project. After all of your petals and sepal which is the leafy thing that hangs down from the bottom of a rose bud are cut out trace them onto your sheet metal with a sharpie. The fourth and fifth layer are 6 diameter with 6 equal sections. The materials needed for this project are scrap or non scrap metal a metal rod tools that will be used to make this project are angle grinder with cutting and grinding wheels pliers needle nose preferably bench vice arc welder with welding rods propane torch with.

Part one of a little series of doing a variation of making a rose. Then cut them out of the metal the same way you did out of paper. The third layer is a 5 diameter with 6 equal sections. 2 score 4 5 circles into the metal in slightly different sizes with a spring divider.

The second layer is a 4 diameter split into 5 equal petals. With a sheet this size you can make a rose head that s roughly 4 6 inches 10 15 cm tall and 4 6 inches 10 15 cm wide. It will probably be easier to cut out each set of petals individually from the main sheet before cutting down the edges to finish them. You may need to use your file to smooth out the edges if they turn out rougher than you would like.
