Johnnie C. Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) This my first project that I ever made. I was working for a guy in a oramental iron shop before if got married. I wasn't making much money so I couldn't buy my wife a big fancey gift. So I came up with the idea of making her favorite flower, the Tullip. With a some help from the guy I was working for I made these. The tullip petals are made out of a copper sheet, the stems are 3/8in round stock, the leaves are 3/8in round stock, and the stand is 1/2in square stock that was prerolled. I have now been blacksmithing for 2 years as a hobby and I love it. Edited August 11, 2008 by j@j metal works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welder19 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Women LOVE "forever" flowers, especially when you make them. welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Exactly. I make something for Deb every now and then and I rarely hear about how much I spend on the pursuit of hot iron. A smith made a steel rose for our wedding 11 years ago. The smith and I stopped getting along so well and Deb knows the story. Still, that's the one wedding gift that's been on continuous display since we got home. She loves it. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
