How to Forge a Rose: Step by Step Processes to Forging a Steel Rose

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

The blanks I'm using are available from Movaje Southern Machine Works: www.msmw.com/store/p30/Rose_Blanks.html (He no longer sells them on eBay, but you can buy them direct!)

Dude! Thank you very much. I appreciate all that you and your wife do. That was very informative and not too long at all. Thanks again you guys.

[@caroljohnson8817]

Wow! So many details. But nature is full of details and doesn’t move fast. Love this video. Thanks so much!

[@scottmccarroll2618]

Really great job brother I’m a blade smith from Australia and I’m forging a rose for my beautiful mother’s grave stone it’s the first time I’ve attempted something like this I’m making it from a plow disk so it’s a lot of forge work Thanks for sharing your technique great commentary........

[@81MrKMan]

Thanks for the instructional video and link to the laser cut pedals, as well as the finish video for coloring. I made two of these today for the first time, one for my mother and one for my wife, both for Mother's day tomorrow. I even got the kids to help in some parts which they loved. The roses both came out great. Thanks again from a fellow Brother in Christ.

In these days of mass produced, stamped out garbage, it is truly refreshing to watch a craftsman at work ! amazing videos, I am already working my way through the backlog ! keep 'em coming my friend !

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Cool Austin! That one was a ways back :)

[@murphy_7717]

One of the best forged rose tutorials I’ve seen, it is nice to see the process beginning to end in one video. Nearly 13000 views and only 252 likes, shame after all the effort you put in, a mouse click is too much to ask for.Keep up,the great work.

[@Zogg1281]

That rose is really beutiful and looks so real compared to other videos that I've watched...... forget the other videos...... it just looks real!!!! If I ever get enough skill to do this, I'm going to be really, really happy! Thanks for sharing this with us 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tobyjo57]

That is "Blooming" Beautifull...Oh what an educational Video..Loaded with so many aspects of the Art of Creative Smithing..Not least the tips on protecting your anvil from breaking off the Horn..If I may say Roy that would make a super video "How to protect YourAnvil " I was amazed to learn we could wreck it by incorrect hammering. Thanls for giving us guys out here so much.By the way keep on talking we love the comentary and you have a great voice for the job..God Bless, your amazing

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you for taking the time to watch brother God bless you

[@jamesj8029]

"where else on youtube are you going to find a video start to finish to make a rose" exactly. I watched from start to finish. Thanks for not skipping stuff!

[@savannaharvey560]

going to try and convince my welding teacher to use our auto plasma cutter and get me a few of these templates so I try my hand at one of these! All other demonstrations I see I haven't been near as realistic looking as this is

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

+Savanna Harvey I'm glad you like the video and thank you for the compliment on the work. To have these plasma cut out is definitely a great option you can do a few of them by cutting them out yourself but they get to be a pain in the butt after a few dozen LOL. Thank you for taking the time to watch God bless you

[@jamespridmore1127]

Beautiful rose! I searched YT for a forged steel rose and found your video. Glad I did. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Hi James, Awesome! Thanks for letting us know how you found us. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@trippsclips903]

I appreciate your time and effort, Roy. I like your style and you've definitely kept me determined to be a blacksmith. I enjoy your instructional videos and the business management videos, both are very insightful.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you Papa Connoli. I truly appreciate that!

[@eddieagha5851]

Excellent video Roy! And you do excellent work. I wouldn't waste one second worrying about negative comments. There are always aholes around that don't create anything themselves, and just spend time tearing other people down.

[@bukofezra]

Taking the time to explain the purposes of why things are done a certain way is why I enjoy learning new things from you....keep up the good work.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

+bukofezra so glad you are enjoying the videos God bless you and I plan on keeping them coming :-)

[@cram1nblaze]

insane amount of awesome information thank you

[@cram1nblaze]

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@OswaldMosley-rr5fg]

Instantly subbed, your a natural teacher who is obviously skilled at your trade. Love the channel name as well brother.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks for the comment. Glad to have you on the channel :)

[@lisjones4713]

I watched the whole video and I love the finished rose it's very nice looking I would rate your work a (10) ,thanks for making it

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

+Lis Jones thank you so much for your kind words! God bless you

[@dutchpearson2022]

I will tell you I did watch the whole thing and I injoyed it. I have never tried rose art . And interested in doing it now.. thank you for your time from everything you do have going.

[@SnorrioK]

I watched all the way through though I skipped some parts like when I was being shown sanding paper for a minute 😂 Watched it while filing a footlong knife I made from a 3/4" rebar. I have been practicing making these roses but they take me a bit longer because I make them out of 0.7mm thick plate sheets and cut them by hand and then bend them cold. I need to get me a burner like yours to make things easier and since these thins are available online, it'll make my Christmas sales a lot more productive and faster. Thank you so very much for these videos, sure you like to talk but at least the audience won't miss out on any information. Also, one can always turn off the sound instead of sending a bloody angry mail, that's just petty.

[@1369buddy]

Talk all ya want,,theres a volume button on these things . I'm glad you made this Vid,,,very very helpful to me

[@erniebeswick7675]

came back to watch an old video of yours really of making a rose wow that's a lot of work for you to do the work film and everything at the same time you did a great job

[@Offgrid_U.S.A]

Can I have one of those to give my daughter? Single dad and very proud of her achieving goals throughout her hard times in my divorce. I would buy one but not sure I could afford such beauty of talented skills.

[@mikidominko3072]

Watched the whole video, liked it, subbed immediately, outstanding tutorial/teaching job, congrats and big thumb up, thank you very much for the effort, I think you deserve far more subscribers to your channel - far better job you are doing than majority of other guys !!!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Miki Dominko thank you very much for the great commentary. I will do my best at keeping the informative videos coming! happy to have you as a subscriber! God bless

[@supersupernova74]

My favorite video so far! Thank you! I love the detail you put in to it! I cant wait to put a hundred or so together! Im guessing I could use pop cans, soup cans, old grills... this looks like fun!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

You're very welcome! It did turn out to be a long one, but quite informative I think

[@MikeFriesenLampLightGames]

Nice work! I'm going to have to play around with cutting myself some blanks and texturing them.

[@Jeremy-iv9bc]

That looks amazing! I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@The_Wandering_Woodster]

Keep them coming...love it. Would love to see a pan video down the track

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Stephen Jolley thanks and will do! It just so happens that I will be working on making a three part series of making a frying pan here in the next few weeks :-) God bless you and thanks for watching

[@WG1807]

Great detailed video. Excellent result. I really like the leaves split as you have them. I shall have to try. Is that what you call a Rosebud tip on your gas torch? They aren't common here in England although I did find them for sale on the BOC (Brit Oxy Co) website. They're quite expensive compared to a standard nozzle for welding or cutting and then the shank is separate and costs as much again. I usually just use a standard oxy-acet welding nozzle or if a large heat volume is needed a standard oxy-propane cutting nozzle. I like the welding nozzle because of the smaller pinpoint flame. It would make the heating of the tenon a lot more precise without a large heat spread onto the petals. Anyway, not trying to tell you your job, lol. Thanks for the uploads.

[@BB-jq6ek]

You're very talented thank you for the video

[@williamchambers2298]

Very good video work. you have major skills!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

+William Chambers thank you very much for that compliment I really appreciate it! God bless you this upcoming week in this new year

[@bryansmith2416]

I greatly appreciate the the videos that you and your wife produce! it's truly a blessing! I know you had said that you found your rose petal blanks from eBay I believe , but unfortunately I can't seem to find them anywhere. could you possibly share a link of where I could purchase them.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

www.msmw.com/store/p30/Rose_Blanks.html Hi Brian, He no longer sells on eBay, but does have them on his one website. If you get the chance, tell him Roy sent you in the order notes :)

[@LavenderSmyle]

[@ylohammerforge7788]

sorry I coudn't make out the website you said.

[@thomasjewell503]

The sound in the video is off...it’s ahead of what’s being done

[@WG1807]

Loved the video and watched till the end. You will always get detractors in whatever you do, whether in 'real' life' or on You Tube. The ones who make the most criticism are usually the ones who do very little themselves. As they say - 'Empty vessels always make the most noise'. :-)

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Finarfin thank you for all the great encouragement! I'm definitely learning that there is a whole lot of trolls and unproductive people out there. subscribers like you make what I am trying to do with my KZbin channel all worth it.! Thank you again for your support . God bless

[@thelittlelenora]

Wtf you have pre-cut stencils?!? Well, they sell everything I suppose.

[@danielbutler6823]

Yeah but a torch cost a thousand dollars for even the small back pack version at tractor supply.

[@thelittlelenora]

Oh shit I just noticed your channel name. Lol

[@thelittlelenora]

Wow you have great veins on your hands. Oh all the dope I could do with all them veins, sigh. What a fucked up comment, I'm sorry. Beautiful rose, nice video.

[@majortom4308]

Great work but terrible name for a channel or business. But then, I'm an empty vessel so you can immediately dismiss my comment. I probably not even human.
