How to grind flame patterns in metal using 18 Ga cold roll steel.

[@davidstanley4605]

Excellent demo Kevin. Hope you get round to putting up more videos on your finishing techniques.

[@joaquinsablan5406]

Very nice! Now I know how anyone does this technique, great video .

[@onemore4thetube]

Wow! Nice work Kevin. I'm getting ready to start doing sheet metal art and I'm checking out people's videos such as yours to get some ideas and techniques. I have seen many people grind without a guard before, but the ones that do, usually are wearing safety glasses or a face shield. There's no way I would ever risk losing an eye when it could be prevented. Thanks for posting this video!

[@JoshBrackenreed-ek2sm]

Awesome job. 👌. Very inspiring. I create similar pieces but tig weld designs on after.

Hey David. Thank you for the awesome tutorial, and all of the valuable info. Subscribed

[@primaltactics6885]

Awesome! I was looking up how to make patterns because I want to decorate the handle of a knife I’m making. I probably won’t be able to do this because of space limitation but I will definitely use the techniques. Thank you!!!

brilliant work bench. can you show more on how built?

I'm waiting for the follow up video, this was so cool!

Very cool, I want to see more.

Wow this is really cool!!

Fantastic

Nice work! What grit are you using? Thank you

[@petercornell2002]

Great vid, looking forward to more..... Thanks

[@contrerasmetalpolishing9556]

nice work good many

[@SnipFishFab]

Awesome stuff man. I’m digging that wall bro! Big fan of metal art . I’d do more of it but fishing gets in the way. Sick flames 💯🔥

[@humblyright]

Great demo Kevin. Being your newest subscriber the pressures on to produce the follow up video... i enjoyed your demo but the biggest takeaway is your easel/stand. It’s genius my friend and my next project! I know you talked a bit about how you constructed it, If you’re so inclined I know I’m not the only one who’d appreciate seeing & hearing more detail on the build. Looking forward to seeing your follow up & many more videos by you!

[@Celtic-Acid]

Ditto, also how to protect the steel easel outside (from rusting etc)

[@jaimieadlard1567]

Thank you. This is great. I'm in Australia and trying to find somewhere to learn this. No luck so far. Keep the videos coming please.

[@kevinthompsonmetalartist1202]

More to come! After so many requests here in the states Jaimie. Stay tuned finally getting into some more videos. Have you found sources just yet in Austrailia?

[@jaimieadlard1567]

No nothing yet... seems like most of the art I've found here is not made here, or they don't know where it comes from.

[@buddymcclure6170]

When you change disc, are they all the same grit? If so, what grits are you running? Awsome work as well!

[@mercertullis9750]

Can you make a video telling us how you made that beautiful art in the background?!?!?

[@Gate-way2Life]

Kevin, I love how you go about creating your palette. How do you finish your masterpiece?

[@Catdog-x6s]

Exactly what I was looking for!! Hey brother, slap some candy paint DIRECTLY ON TOP of that and really watch the design dance or look on fire (red candy).

[@portoferreiro]

Hi! Do you put any product on the steel so it doesn't rust?

[@abhishekkabali8447]

I tried it My self Trust me guys It looks amazing

[@pritinagwani7547]

HELLO, HOPE U R N INDIAN, FROM WHERE DID U PURCHASE THE TOOLS.

[@abhishekkabali8447]

@@pritinagwani7547 go to any HARDWARE shop or even on Amazon you will get it

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

Hi Do you think I can do this to some factory painted older steelcase (late 90s) file cabinets?

[@welderjoe9322]

What happened with the second video?

[@theironkiwi2948]

Hi Kevin, what kind of paint would you use to get a transparent finish so it's tinted but the metal still shows through. Thanks!!

[@VetRet377]

Kevin, I picked up a steel coffee table that is partially done, but I want to make it more uniform and five it more depth with the circular swirls. Do I have to sand it down, or just go over existing pattern. Wish I could attach a picture!

[@GarlandFarms]

Go over

[@diyday21]

Great video! Do you sell this metal art? Do you have a website with prices? Thanks!

[@kevinthompsonmetalartist1202]

Yes I do www.minimametalart.com

[@michaelrobinson9643]

THanks for sharing Kevin - much appreciated. What grit were you using for the initial prep of the steel? Would you use similar on aluminium?

[@kevinthompsonmetalartist1202]

Sorry for the long delay. Personal business got in the way and I forgot, Sorry!! I use 80 grit on everything anymore. I used to use 36 gr. for a while but found it to be too aggressive and not as much reflective value from the grind. I just different speeds on movement and angle of the grinder. You can use the same grit on aluminum, but I don't grind it because I can't flame paint it. After this crazy freeze passes, I'm going to make some more videos on flame painting. Feel free to reach out to me anytime and bounce ideas off each other It's hard to find like-minded people in this space. 469-446-5250. Thanks and have a great day. Kevin

[@carsontheFritz]

great job! how in the world do you have under 200 subs!

[@jeffgodlevsky2489]

are you still doing this???

[@kevinthompsonmetalartist1202]

yes, continue to keep an eye out for videos coming. If you're in Dallas, Texas Minimal Metal Art was invited to be in the Deep Ellum Arts Festival in September stop by to say hello

[@JOus-nw5xe]

dude - where's more videos? flame paint? let's go!

[@kevinthompsonmetalartist1202]

They are coming thanks for the encouragement in the comments.

[@granite2728]

So 15 min of dude doing exactly what everyone here has already tried and got bored with.

[@brianheaton5521]

So this is what Goldburg has been up to after his wrestling days.

[@brianheaton5521]

Your neighbors must hate you. Lol

[@kevinthompsonmetalartist1202]

They come over and enjoy it with us. For that we are grateful.

[@joederue2392]

Why cold roll steel sir.

[@Gate-way2Life]

Cold rolled as far as I am aware has no mill scale and polishes easily. You usually have to use muriatic acid to get the mill scale off hot rolled.

[@joederue2392]

@@Gate-way2Life good to no. Thank you

Dont see any "flames"
