How to make a rose out of sheet metal.

Part one of a little series of doing a variation of making a rose. 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. 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. Today we re going to make a metal rose without welding forging special tools and preparation.

The fourth and fifth layer are 6 diameter with 6 equal sections. Then cut them out of the metal the same way you did out of paper. The first and smallest layer or what will be the rose bud is 3 in diameter with 3 petals. You may need to use your file to smooth out the edges if they turn out rougher than you would like.

The second layer is a 4 diameter split into 5 equal petals. Grab a metal spring divider and press one of the pins into any point on your sheet metal. Only those things which you can find in your garage the link for downloading the petals drafts. 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.

Then the final leaf layer is 4 divided into 5 equal leaves. 2 score 4 5 circles into the metal in slightly different sizes with a spring divider. Once there all on make sure you have at least 1 2 to 1 of rod poking out then put it in a 1 4 socket and peen it out. The third layer is a 5 diameter with 6 equal sections.
