Chasing a Rose in Steel. Time Lapse at 8x speed.

With out my patrons on Patreon this video series wouldn't have been possible. If you'd like to see more of the details on how to make this rose I would welcome you to Patreon.com/douglaspryor. This Rose in steel edited into three 20 minute video's instead of 2 (as mentioned in the video). Cutting all the dialog and speeding it up to 8x made a happy little 6 minute video. I think this will be a valuable perspective as it really shows the fluid changes in the steel at a "big picture" pace. Though you do miss a lot at this speed for many it's more engaging to watch. As not everyone has an hour to see the real time chasing version. Chasing steel (or any metal) takes time, so thank you for sharing yours with my work and I hope you enjoy!
Thank you so much for all your support and I can't wait to keep making more series for you in the future! If you've got any questions please let me know!

Other notes:
This project is chased from 1mm thick steel, so not too thick but not too thin.
The metal is a low carbon steel.
We have already prepared the traced line work and shallow dishing to get a little volume to chase into off camera. These steps are covered so many times in other video's that I felt it was more important to just get straight to the good stuff!
I am using a medium green pitch as a backing. I like to work the pitch warm on this project (90F-100F) until I get to the planishing where I let the pitch get down to room temp (on that day it was 83F in the studio). I add heat around the whole project with a heat gun.
I favor a 10ounce hammer for big work, a 3 or 2 ounce hammer for the lighter work for the smaller curved liners and planishers.



That's about it, Cheers and enjoy!
