Nice work. Since I put my "Making copper tulips" video on YouTube I've had several hundred requests for the cutting template.

As well as my stainless roses I have also done a few copper ones, the stem is twisted electrical cable

just a thought , but how about the other way round , steel flower copper stem and leaves , that way if they were for graves etc or use outside the stem would weather green and the flower turn red ...
just thinking out loud .

I don't mind as it's just emailing out a .pdf. I'm surprised that so many people are interested enough to want to have a go. Also the grandkids are well amused that grandad is an "influencer".

Wouldn’t fancy trying bash delicate details into a steel sheet

yep , no prob , Ive done flowers before , just a couple as presents and in 1mm steel its no problems at all , a sharp chisel and a block of wood gives you very very good leaf veins , and thats without any heat at all.

This is why I use 0.5mm it can get very tedious though after a while!

Yep totally agree , Id not like to do more than one at a time , but it can be done. Id rather pay for the sheet of steel though , I dread to think what a sheet of copper costs at the moment , our local steel stockist has had an 87% increase in prices across the board , announced this week.
