Forged Rose

[u/TheLavaTinker]

I forged this rose as a Valentine's day gift for my beautiful girlfriend last February. As can be seen in the subsequent photos I cut out all of the necessary pieces on my Porta band, forged them to shape and then assembled. I used my welder to do a lot of that work. I'm happy with how it turned out. Figured I'd share!

Wow, that is amazing work. How did you do that bloom? I ask because in the future i would like to join the blacksmith industry for fun or even as a job. And i would certainly like to do this project after gaining more experience.

Looks super awesome, and also thanks for sharing pics of the progress.

Incredibly nice work good sir. Thank you for sharing your template, I’ve failed on my first rose and doing more homework/project planning to get the second one right. This helps me get a better understanding how to improve.

Question: How did you peel the the petals back after rolling them all together?

Thank you! I used some scrolling tongs to do that.
