No, I cheat on the copper roses. I use a small die to put threads onto the brass stem. I use two small brass nuts to hold it all together. I put the first one on and tighten it, use a sander to round it out. I stack the pieces for the bloom, add the second nut and tighten it. I cut off the excess threads and use a small rivet tool to peen the left over material locking the nut in place. The bloom hides the top nut. I did use solder at one time. The reason I switches was because I started using the copper rose project as part of the Boy Scout Merit Badge class for Metalworking. It was much safer doing everything cold, required me to bring fewer tools, and a lot less likely that any mistake during the assembly would be unfixable. Most of the boys later gave them as gifts to their mothers :)

@@jeffreysanto i was going to try the red patina method but used have to get the rose red hot and it melted the solder

Sometimes the round ones have ridges that catch the wood so they don't back out... I'm not going to lie, when I need to take one of those out I use a milling machine.

@@jeffreysanto i destroyed 3 drill bits but i got the fucker out! xD

Yes, but to work properly it needs to be Skippy Chunky Peanut Butter... not sure why, I don't make the rules...

How is this remotely relevant to this video?

Not really, a hammer mill does not have blades. Think of it more as pulverizing it into powder rather than cutting the material.

Replaced it once, it lasted 7 years of being used 2 - 3 times a week.
