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.
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
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.
@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
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. ;-)
Great videos, Thanks. Followed the most steps, had to do some things different due to the lack of skills and tools, but as a result got pretty nice rose (3 allready). The leaves are a bit hard to make at the moment...
I can't say that I come to it naturally. I had to bang my head against the brick wall myself - luckily it was the wall that gave in first. There's a good reason that I am a blacksmith...
Four templates - each of five petals. I think that each is about half an inch smaller than the last in terms of diameter. I think that the largest set are 4.5 inches in diameter. The calyx has four points and is the fifth part of the set.
How many petal templates are needed to make this and what are the diameters of the templates? as well as the first 4 pointed one? Thanks Videos are great Mark
@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
Hi Mr Aspery Could it be possible to get the size indication and drawings to build that type of rose somewhere ? Im currently preparing a subject for mothers day at the boilermaker and blacksmithing school where im currently teaching Cheers and thanks for any information :)
great video! i'm currently in high school taking a welding class and this could be a great project where could i get the blue print of the pedals for the rose?

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

You make that weld look soooooo easy... As I throw away my fourth attempt haha

You have a good point. I'll try and reduce it for the next video.

Anytime you bend metal, you should be aware of the neutral axis of the material and make your calculations accordingly.

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

What did you use to "texture" the cut out?
I think that it is called "The Forged Rose II"
Cheers, Mark
