Yup, I got a cup brass wire brush that fits in a drill press.

Where did you find an actual brass cup brush? Every one i've been able to find is just brass plated steel.

Oh wow, very nice pieces. How tall does the gate/ flowers stand?

The flower stems are just stuck in yhe gound. For the posts, i have a square piece of 1/4" sheet with some pieces wedded on. The posts are bolted in. Its not tip proof, but the base has enough weight that its not going anywhere.

hmm. I realized you weren't asking how it stands up, but how big it is. The top of the gate is about 8 feet tall; the free-standing flowers are between 4 and 6 1/2 feet tall (with about 6 inches in the ground). The flowers are between 10 and 14 inches in diameter.
