What beautiful well thought out blacksmith techniques. The irises are very gorgeous and textural. The video is very interesting, I could watch these techniques all day. Thank you so much for sharing, and for showing that these pieces take time and craftsmanship, and should be supported.
The time study and lessons of efficiency were brilliant. This is the stuff that no one else offers online. Sadly, I have no CNC or cutting torch and would be doing all that preliminary work by hand. I’ll still give it a go but won’t be making large quantities. Thanks so much. This is what I (and I assume many others) have needed. SO good to see you creating. You have loads of talent and I know your future is bright.
Thank you Lou! Honestly to do this commercially I would buy them in from a laser profile cutting company. They require a minimum order but will equal to only a couple of $/£ each. Cheers J
Torbjörn Åhman its a pleasure to know you like what I do!... If I give you discount would you make one from my pattern in your videos? I'm going to make available a 'pack' with pre laser cut parts if you're interested? All the very best. J
Beautiful job! I was fascinated with your leafing stake. I've never seen anything of the sort by way of stakes for jewelry making, which is what I do. Brilliant!
Great video, Josh. Not only the wonderful irises, but the video production as well. I'll be making some of these -- as soon as I find as I find someone with a cutting torch... Clyde
Hey Clyde! You made think I should do a video on cutting sheet steel and the different methods you can use without expensive gear. Like a top 10 and go through costings and speeds. Also I was thinking if there is enough interest to get a batch laser profile cut and so you could by one or two pre-cut from my Etsy shop. Cheers J
Joshua De Lisle if you needed a laugh Josh you should have seen three grown men wresting a number 6 with stand fly press out of a van, with the benefit of hindsight a number 3 would have been the better option mate ha ha, so if you know anyone who wants a straight swop a 6 for a 3 let me know 👍
Whilst I don’t believe you would produce a video like this if you want to keep it to yourself, I still want to ask... would you mind if I try some of these irises? With my own twist of course....
JJL Forge you are more than welcome. I have supplied the patterns for the design of the petals in my etsy shop for you to use. I'm going to supply the steel petal profiles for everyone to buy also if you're interested? All the best and happy forging. J
Thank you. It's called a TIG finger used for welding and is made from heat resistant woven fibre ceramic to protect your hand around hot parts. Cheers J
Mate those just look beautiful, really elegant. One thing that jumps out at me is that they would make lovely bird feeders or small drinking stands. If the top petals where spread out a little a copper bowl could be put the middle and held in place with the bend.
Loved this project, came out so elegant and as good a copy of natures beauty as I imagine is possible in steel. One thing that I couldn't find was the finish you used. Is this an oil based rub, say linseed and beeswax or some kind of lacquer directly onto the black oxide? Thanks for sharing!
Hello Joshua.. i want to buy your svg and try it. But i dont like ANY of my money gojng to etsy…. They take too much from artisans. I dont want to support them. Thanks for the reply
This video is supreme - I do similar work, but in copper (haven't gotten to irises yet) and this is exactly what we're shooting for when we start making videos. Not going to self-promote on your thread, but I'd love to see what else you make - maybe swap patterns? contact at copperFlora.com if you're down..

I like the leafing tool
Thank you David!
The v tool you made is it 16mm round thanks
It's 12mm. 16mm will work fine too. Cheers J
Great project, whats that white cloth type thing you are using during the plasma cutting im assuming its some kind of heat resistant material.
Thank you. It's called a TIG finger used for welding and is made from heat resistant woven fibre ceramic to protect your hand around hot parts. Cheers J

Thank you Luke! That's a great idea. You should do it! Cheers J
