The Forged Rose I

[BrimstoneMerc]

Ah they are a kit. Gonna get the 5 set and get busy.

[BrimstoneMerc]

I was just thinking I could do this then asked myself how I'd cut the petals from 10 or 12 gauge steel without a plasma cutter. I assume these are custom cut not pressed as a kit. But either way I know a few women who'd love these.

@BrimstoneMerc

These petals were purchased as a kit from Kayne and son (Blacksmiths depot) for $10.

I have cut these petals out by hand using either a beverly shear or a small hand chisel.

Cheers, Mark

Dont know much about metal work however im very impressed by what i just saw

[moviemaker195]

What did you use to "texture" the cut out?

[hans76petter]

Awsome.

I hope you are making one for Iron Rose Of Norway : )

Have a nice day : )

[jacko079772]

Amazing videos and awesome results for it all ... i was just curious as to what material it was that you started with?

[MarkAspery]

@jacko079772 Mild Steel

Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the video and info, even though the math confuses me!

[PARSONSRDPOSSE]

this work is truly amazin

[Turo50]

where can i get the stencil for that "flower". Im talking about when its flat

[MarkAspery]

@Turo50

I get my blanks from "Blacksmith supply" (Kayne and son) $10.00 per set. They maintain a web site.

I have a copy of the template in my book 2 "leafwork"

Cheers, Mark

i'm currently in high school taking a welding class and this could be a great project

[ajs222222]

[fishkiller4111]

Where is part 2?

[MarkAspery]

I think that it is called "The Forged Rose II"

Cheers, Mark

I'm a member of a fairly large blacksmith forum and I recently added to a thread about blacksmithing books to read during the winter. About a dozen people responded all with varying replies, but all of them included an Aspery title in their list. I see why lol.

[MasterOvCreation]

That is amazing. I've done a little myself; just enough to know how hard that is.

Very nice

[marcheseDS]

I read many manuals, some are quite clear about technique and calculations to get the work done but seeing it done is FAR better, especially when a master explain it at the same time. GREAT

[MarkAspery]

Alas, I'm a long way from calling myself 'master' of anything except washing dishes.

But I agree - for me I learn best by seeing and reasoning... that's the joy of conferences.

Cheers, Mark

[TechnicusJoe]

aaah finally i know how to make a stam instead of using duplex nails, thank you Mark!

[wayne7777777777]

I feel like I just attended a conference and didnt have to drive there thanks Mark.

[jimmymancini]

I was just looking for blacksmith-related videos and found yours. They are really good and helpful. I think they're some of the best on youtube. You're explanations are so precise and thorough. Why aren't you teaching somewhere? Or are you?

Watching you use a piece of railroad steel gave me an idea. I wonder where I can get a piece - I mean legally.

[wayne7777777777]

I go to railroad salvage yards in california, dont know if there is one every where you are. Try near a rail yard where you live and look for broken down train equipment.they may have small pieces that you can pick up.

[Henry33161]

Thanks for putting up these videos. It is appreciated!!!!!!!  I know it took time but this is great!

[apatientspider]

Thank-you so much for this; I've been wanting to see how that type of weld is done. I do not, however, plan to use it for flowers - I wish to try using it to weld material on small stock to make the bolster of a wood carving chisel. Hope it's as easy as you make it look - know that it's not. ;-)

[trio2633]

Nice work. I have enjoyed your Book and videos.Look forward to seeing you demo in NY in September!

[MarkAspery]

Thank you. I'm pleased that you like the book. I'm working on a second volume at the moment.

See you in NY.

Cheers, Mark

[scumberg01]

Amazing!
