I couldn’t take it anymore. I made the bracelet and it is beautiful! Thanks so much for the information AND inspiration!

I've got one of those "never to be used in the kitchen again" pans! (Used my for gardening.) Excellent work, Sir!

Love the rose and watching you transform the copper. Beautiful!!

Copper and silver have incredible health values. Even holding them is extremely beneficial. Fun fact: That’s why water pipes “were” made from copper. Ah..the good ole days when people actually cared. Thanks for the video I enjoyed and may attempt one day. Best rose to gift anyone.

I've made roses out of old fabric. I didn't bother using any templates. Just turning out a variety of shaped and sized petals makes for nice natural looking flowers. Doing it this way would require a bit more involved construction. Craft the petals and then start attaching them to the stem, working from the inside of the bloom out. Start with the smaller petals and work out to the larger ones, like this project does. This is a great project. Thanks for sharing. :)

Awesome idea and great explanation of the entire process. I’m definitely going to give this project a shot and try my hand at creating a copper rose. Thanks again!

Tarnishing the copper with the torch, once shaped, then lacquered and assembled is like a rare black rose color..(?). Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing!

That's beautiful. Thank you for the in depth look at how to make a copper rose 🌹!!

Wow, what a beautiful flower, your mother must of been so proud of it. Thank you for this nice video!

What a beautiful flower! Thank you for sharing!

Excellent use of spare time, the green rose of Texas once aging takes hold. Thanks for showing us your artistic work.

You did an amazing job….. I would be proud to have someone make one for me for sure. I may even try a few myself

Nicely done! These turn out looking great, thanks for sharing your process.

EXCELLENT! This is a really nice project and your thorough explanation and demonstration makes it look and sound doable. You're a natural teacher.

Totally awesome! Beautiful Rose and great video! Thanks!

LOVE IT! ❤️ I will definitely try this! Not expensive and looks like a lot of fun! I can see making several different types of flowers to make a boquete, maybe out of different metals!

Seriously, You Tube just ROCKS!!! It's the best thing to come along since the cell phone - but it is SO addicting!

Wow, I'm impressed that is a lot of work, looks really great ! Awesome job.

I work in pottery. You gave me great ideas on how to form a flower. Thanks. You do wonderful work!

Great winter project and/or hobby...I'm going to give it a try and aluminum too....Semi retired HVAC man here, very familiar with torches, plenty of used copper and instead of scrapping it all out, I'll experiment...Thanks for taking the time to do this video.

Just randomly stumbled across this video and wow, that's an awesome project! I've got loads of copper pipe and these roses would look awesome as building decoration! Luckily my father is restoring a house from the early 20th century (built in 1912) and he wants to replace all the gutters with copper ones. I reckon these roses would look awesome as decoration along the side of it. Just use them as a decorative way to hide the mounting points and give the house that more charm. Either this or use them around a few fireplaces or other decorative areas of the house and mix it with intricately carved woodwork.

Turned out real nice. Using the pipe is a good idea also.

I am sooo amazed and hugely impressed with not only this beautiful rose but this awesome man!!! Such a wonderful voice and I'd call his hands "magic"!!!

wow that's really really nice.... your mother must have been really happy when you gave her one....that is a great gesture.... mothers do deserve a lot

great video man! just finished one for my ma for mothers day and it turned out better than i anticipated. thanks for the idea!

Thank you for sharing this project with us. May I say your video was really great in that the mix of video, voice, and music was great. I finished the video feeling 100% confident that I could do this given the complete description of what is required to complete this project. Great job.

I made one today and my wife loved it , Thanks for your inspiration .

Gorgeous - two of my favorite things; copper and roses.

It's a nice project, and looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

That's gorgeous. That would look awesome in the garden. I would loe to actually clear coat it because outside I wouldn't want it to go green. Very lovely!

awesome! Thanks for the details and how to handle those tricky spots that can make a project a lot less fun to try. That's a lot of time you spent. I enjoyed watching.

That's gorgeous! Makes me want to work copper again. And I like tarnish, it adds depth, so tend to only gently buff the high surfaces with a scotch pad to keep the highlights, and let the rest gain patina.

This is the most beautiful piece of Roses 🌹 ever personally I would like to say thank you 🙏 so so much for sharing your excellent experience to all of us around the whole I tire world 🌍 again thank you so much 😊 May god bless you and your family.

I haven't had the pleasure of working with copper like that, however I have used 18 gauge sheet steel to do it and that was a fun project. I even went so far as to add thorns and leaves to the stem. I started by using a 3/16" 7018 welding rod as the stem after I stripped the flux coating off. I then hand cut and shaped several different shapes of petals to see what looked best. The first 2 layers had 3 petals per layer, the next 2 layers had 4 petals, then the next three layers had an additional petal per layer (all together it had 32 hand formed petals). All petals were hand formed and I used diffrent hammers for multiple texturing effects on all the petals and leaves. The center came to a point and the thing weighed almost 10 pounds when I was done, but it was worth it. I highly reccomend trying it if you have the time and the patience to do it.

I have slowly started on this today. It's a wonderful break from my daily work. I'm sure, if nothing else, I'll watch every ad that shows up on your site. Hope it helps. Again, thank you so much....

Nice Work! I love working with copper. I'll bet they'd look great fumed. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate this.

You nailed it! I make roses and other flowers from air-dried clay, I am surprised how beautifully these came out. Thanks for the tutorial! Blessings to you.

For anyone who might not have a small cross peen, welding hammers work *great* for the texturing, and are usually available at the big box stores for pretty cheap.

One of those videos on KZfaq that absolutely nails how to do something creative. Many thanks for the vid 👍🏻

Nice work. Can't wait to try it for myself. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video with us.

Excellent, educational video. You made a fine piece there. Thank you for sharing.

One easy way to clean metal after its been annealed is to soak it in a solution using the Ph minus pool chemical. It's the same chemical that is sold as a cleaning "pickel" by jewelry supply companies and its much cheaper to use Ph minus. Nice video. Thank you.

Nice rose, also a nice workshop!

Mothers day is next wknd. I need to get busy! Nice little project. Thanks for the instuctions.

Thanks for sharing your art work, they look fantastic! I made an indoor lily pad water fountain out of copper years ago,complete with a "leaping" frog and I did use a similar technique to create the veins in the leaves, but I used a bench mounted wire wheel to create a beautiful ripple effect over the whole surface. The end result was a very realistic looking leaf.

Great design! I make much simpler ones, so this was a great video to add some pizazz to mine. Some tips from my experience: 1. Consider brazing your copper with brass rods with flux. The brass color looks great on copper in my opinion. 2. Add some pedals (if you do, brass is a must for brazing) 3. Heat treating at the end will create an amazing purple (don't get it as hot as you were early on in the video though otherwise you get that grey tone). Do as you did and quench immediately everytime. This takes some practice but the purple is worth it. 4. If you do heat treat it, a few passes with clear coat really gives it a great shine along with the color.

Awesome. I love roses. Never saw a copper one done before

WOW! That's so beautiful!!! I love it! 😊

Nice work! Now that I know how to make one, all I need is a shop, and all the necessary equipment. Seriously, though, this was a very nice, educational video!

Very beautiful , love that. Makes me wish I had the stuff to make me one . Tfs, hope you have a blessed day 😊

beautiful,from new Zealand on this bright sunny day thank you for that.

That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful !! Thank you for sharing : )

YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT..!!COPPER IS MY FAVORITE MATERIAL...!!

OMGosh I love the rose! Fantastic job. I just did all my porch rails in copper, which I did a hammered design. So a have a ton of heavy copper sheeting left over that I'll give this a go with. Thanks so much for sharing!

Stunningly clever and beautiful end product from a bit of a scrap pipe and a boat load of understated skill. Result!

That was really cool!

Found my girlfriends birthday present. I think I might do some things a little differently but that's apart of creativity. I was thinking bending the stem and making a leaf on the bottom and possibly using wire with strands instead of solid wire and making a bud in the center with the strands. But either way it turned out amazing the way you made it. 👍

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

Certainly a great piece, thank You for your video.

Great tutorial and I love the music as well. Thanks! Really lovely result.

So beautiful.

E X C E L L E N T ! ...Great art work and step-by-step tutorial. Thank you very much sir.

Wow! Gorgeous and so realistic looking.

Great job.

It's not just a beautifully crafted rose... This video CURED MY INSOMNIA!!

i made two of these for my girlfriend and my 7 year of being together as two roses entwined together, great tutorial i used new copper brake pipe for the stem as i found that easier and cheaper to get hold of, not having any blow torches etc at home i used a brake pipe flare tool to grip the underside of the stem then drop the petals onto the stem and hammered the end over up top, giving it a heftier thump on the top of the pipe set the flare right under the petals locking it all together very tight so much so that they wouldn't spin as for enealing i used the electric cooker ring after the petal detailing, that work perfect.

great work! love the detail in the petals

Really glad I came across this video. I had to subscribe love what you've got on your channel.

Really nice. Thanks.

Thanks. This is really cool. Appreciate your expertise. Turned out so lovely.

Beautiful, I love that this can be made with simple tools.

Thanks! Your video inspired me to make my wife a rose in this manner for our 7th wedding anniversary two days ago (the copper anniversary, of course!) and she was delighted.

For a guy that can 't draw a flower, you sure make a nice copper rose

Thank You - thoroughly enjoyed your process. Excellent!

Thank you for sharing, lovely 😊 🤟🏻❤️ metal roses last forever!

A couple of points. Roses are five petals per layer, not six. Not a big deal at the end of the day, but it does make a difference in the appearance. While far more work, forging the edges of the petals to thin tapers also improves the form. Your use of the cross pein to give texture is fine. One can use a very fine lining punch if deep accuracy is desired. They are not terribly difficult to make. Some of the roses my fellow smiths have produced have been simply astonishing to behold. I might suggest forming the sepal prior to riveting the other petals in. You might need to make a fixture for holding it for setting due to the curvature. Again, it depends on what you seek to achieve in terms of result and how tolerant you are of extra work. Your rose is very fine, BTW. My suggestions here are offered only for those who might seek to take things to the next level. There are always those who get bitten by this sort of work and then go apey to refine and perfect their results. Another great material for roses is titanium. One advantage is one may anodize the various parts to very convincing colors such that at first blush, a well done example might be mistaken for the real thing. Some of the work of my fellow smiths is simply spectacular. Once again I advise those who try this beware - it can become very addictive. Nice work. Thanks.

Straight up 8 making your rose that has not opened the long stem my aunt from Arizona who has passed taught me that when I was a kid and I still use it to the day

Beautiful! Thanks for the great video!

Reminds me of my Dad's xmas lighted Creche frame! He used, 1950-60 aluminum cans, if that made any difference. It lasted forever... well, it still is Beautiful. Thanks for the Memories!

Awesome idea using the copper from pipe and stunning final product! How are you liking those Knipex??? Just bought a couple pairs myself recently, have yet to use them.

If you're not in a super hurry, I've found dropping the copper in a bath of vinegar after annealing gets rid of the oxide layer really nicely. No scrubbing required. Takes a couple hours though.

Excellent video! Thanks for a great project.

Years ago my Grandmother showed me how to make a Rose out of wax in much the same way ! Have to tell you, these are absolutely beautiful ! I am paralyzed from my shoulders down, however, will be working with my assistant, and trying to get a similar result ! Just beautiful ! Thanks for the inspiration !

Nice, perhaps you may be able to use an acrylic clear spray to keep that nice cooper color, the spray should keep it from turning dark. Make sure to clean off the acid used to solder the stem with, you can use cooper to solder with, it just needs more heat where as the lead need less to liquefy; in this case using cooper rode to solder is better.

This is beautiful! I don't know that you'd want to "clean it up" at all. Copper gets an INCREDIBLY beautiful patina with time. What's the thickness of the copper pipe? Scrap copper sheeting (or even buying some just for this project) would be great too! (& perhaps easier to cut, at least initially). These would be amazing soldered into/onto a stained glass wind chime project, a concrete birdbath, or other projects. Really beautiful stuff! Nice tutorial too, TY!

how Beautiful, what a lucky lady to receive such a wonderful gift. I would buy a dozen

I can really appreciate your teaching style. It’s rare for someone to explain all of those little nuances that make learning so much easier. I would have liked more info on soldering, but I’m not complaining. The other questions I had were answered via other comments (length of tubes, wire gauge). I hope you will make more videos with copper. It’s unfortunate that so many people clog up the comment section with complaints. Use whatever recording device and music you want! People can be just rude and there’s no excuse for it. They can mute their device if they don’t like your music. If a commenter wants to offer a suggestion, they should do so without it being negative. I wouldn’t even reply to them. They could just as easily explained their thoughts on alternative methods without suggestion your way is wrong. Years ago, I played with copper wire to make jewelry (as a completely ignorant novice). I would take thick wire and wrap around natural sea glass. They were unique pendants as I could never repeat the same wrapping twice since thick wire can be difficult to work with! Guess I should have annealed it first! I think I actually have all of these materials so you inspired me. I used to buy electrical wire and cut off the casing resulting in many strands of cheap copper wires. Then, I would play with the torch until I got the rainbow of colors. Copper is a cool metal. I agree with you about coating with sealant. It will eventually wear off and/or if it peels, you will have a mess to clean up.

I for one enjoyed the whistle ing and all the rest of it thanks

This is absolutely beautiful! I want to make one to use on a copper cuff bracelet. This is too pretty not to wear!

Beautiful! Will try this myself, thanks for the template!

That is beautiful! I watched from start to finish👍👍👍

"down in the thingie below" insta sub 😂This guy speaks my language.

Beautiful! My daughter’s boyfriend presented her with 3 welded roses on their first date. He’s a welder by trade. Being romantic she said, they can also be used as a weapon.

Wow! That is beautiful!

Wow, so creative!! Beautiful

Thanks. Am retired but not tired and will do this project !

you don't have to do 6 pedals per sheet of copper, some doing it for the first time might find it easier to just do 4 pedals per sheet and add a couple extra layers, 4 pedal style roses aren't quite as full but they still are good looking roses and a lot easier to do because it lessens the overlapping hassle and makes it easier to form the pedals, you can even do just 2 pedals per sheet to make tighter small bud style roses which look good in a multi rose arrangement. also if you plan to make a number of roses the absolute best and easiest tool for texturing the leaves and pedals is a Chisel Point Rock or Brick Hammer but you can use the nail pulling end of an old claw hammer you may have to sharpen the claw ends a little with a grinder. also for a nice looking contrast make the sepal and leaves out of thin sheet steel, the metal lids from canned food work good once you flatten them out and use a torch to paint them with some color. steel rod for works good the stem and metal coat hangers for the leave branches and if you have a welder you can puddle a little metal in a couple places on the steel stems then grind it to a point to make thorns. it also looks really cool if you paint the copper rose with a torch, painting copper with a torch takes some practice but once you get it down you can make some beautiful stuff...

I'm going to give it a try. Christmas is right around the corner. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great project to do in the shop with my daughter 🤗
