Re: WTB: welded rose
I made one last year. Got the SS sheet from my normal metal supplier and a used a 1/8th tig rod for the stem. Thin sheet is a hell of a lot easier to work with for a project like this, harder to weld but bends and shapes easier.

metal = price spike
gas = not cheap
filler = not free.
electricity = up in price
ya, noone really wants to shape and weld up a rose for $20 shipped, we can turn around and do fence work for $85/hour easy
do it yourself, she will appreciate the fact you made it yourself.
anneal it if you have to or heat it up and bend while hot if you got fatigued

Re: WTB: welded rose
for some reason, there are three suppliers around me, all with VERY different prices on gas.
AIRGAS charged me $60 to fill my 80 CF bottle.
TECHAIR wanted 112 to fill a 300CF bottle, and for me to open an account with them.
WELDALL only wanted $200 bottle deposit, and $50 to fill a 300CF bottle with argon. I went with them, so now re fills are only $50. I couldn't believe how much some guys wanted for stupid argon! lol
But yeah, shop around and you can find some cheap gas. Metal is kinda expensive, you're right, but thin sheet shouldn't be too much. And filler is basically free, for the amount you're going to use on a rose. To DIY it won't be much at all.

Re: WTB: welded rose
Another great trick for random projects is to hit up your local dollar stores. They have all sorts of steel, stainless and aluminum cookware that can be hacked into various things.

I'm in NYC also and I usually get my tank (120) filled at Airgas for $37.00.. When me and my bro were first looking into getting a tank the prices were all over the place at Airweld.
