This is typically the second project for my junior students. It incorporates very little material and costs are "cheap" but still teaches how to layout, cut, drill, grind, weld, think, and apply some sort of finish to the project.

If you are an "adult" with an opinion about the "right way to build things" leave a comment below to help others and remember that this video has been made for complete beginners at a high school/middle school level. There are faster and different ways to build these projects but all the "extra" steps are meant to build skills for younger students so they can progress and develop. We all learn and process information differently. This is just the way that I approach things. If you didn't like my personal paint job or the fact that it didn't look exactly like a real flower then please link your video in comments to help educate the world :P
