I have a lamp in front of my home that either needed replaced of redone...........I decided to redo it. The lenses were ugly and yellowed. I decided to replace them with expanded metal. I am using a a halogen bulb.........we will see how the weather treats it. I also made an adjustable plant hanger out of 1 inch 304 stainless strap.
The wife's birthday is coming up and thought I would do something original using my skills and what ever I had laying around.........I did purloin the copper from work and the only cost was a rattle can of clear.
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

In a past life I was given a job to build a custom lamp just like the one you have. It was a bid job and only for a couple hours. I don't remember how long it took me but it was at least double what they thought. Turned out very nice, was a pain to paint and we learned that it takes longer to build one of those than one thought. Chalk that one up for a learning experience.
Ok story times over, looks very nice. I have wanted to tackle a rose for some time, I guess there is no time like the present.

The roses are awesome! I made one for my future wife, she loved it, but I think yours turned out better than mine. My stem was too big of a diameter, but it was all I had lying around. I used 1/4 pipe for a stem, should have went out and bought 1/8th.

they are pretty easy to make, if you type in making copper roses on youtube, there are a few videos that show you how. It's hard to explain without the visuals.

I printed out a stencil off the web. Just Google "COPPER ROSE." You get instructions as well.

Rich, I might have to try that.
I saw (finally) that I missed a couple calls from you again. I think this is a conspiracy from my cell phone provider... I only seem have issues receiving messages and calls when I'm eligible for an "upgrade" and contract renewal...
Anyone else get that feeling?
