'LiLy Fox' is the musical pseudonym of multi-instrumentalist Jem Taylor. Read Full Bio ↴'LiLy Fox' is the musical pseudonym of multi-instrumentalist Jem Taylor.
Born in Graham Valley, New Zealand, in the back of a purple house bus named "Starsailor". Fox's lyrics tell the story of a tortured soul, covering such topics as love, lust, sweat, dropping out of high school, and what it's like to be fired from a dream job (as a warehouse foot model due to swelling and discolouration.)

As a musician, Lily Fox brings a unique approach to composition and songwriting. The influence of jazz legend Miles Davis, can be heard on her track "Sweet Home Hokitika," through her unique brand of mouth percussion closely resembling the sound of Davis' trumpet.

Drawing inspiration from both Jazz heavyweights(such as Miles Davis) and the more experimental sounds of indie rock legends(The Killers, Interpol). Her music melds genres ranging from Grindcore to art punk and electronica using heavy guitars, synthetic sounds, and screaming, erotic, bluesy vocals.

This summer marks the beginning of a heavy touring schedule for Fox, who plans to travel the country in her 1987 Toyota Liteace affectionately dubbed "Little Man." Stay tuned for updates and venues where you can catch Lily Fox

This is awesome. I have wanted to learn how to weld just to do sculpture work.

Would love to find a place to go do this. Hobby workshop to do occasional projects....and learn / practice with cool projects like this.

Great video .you do a great job explaining the steps.
I don't have the acetaline but maybe I can go small scale project with my tinsnips. My neighbors might knock on my door for the hammering..maybe take that part to tap away at the park for an afternoon. 🍁

The scraps could maybe be used to make pendants maybe. 💮

Final sculpture is beautiful. 🍁🍁🍁

More beautiful sculptures please! I love this so much!

Way of the Wrench

Thank you very much! There will be more, stay tuned. Did you see the fox I did? Thanks for the watch!

Fantastic video, thank you so much! I've just stumbled upon your channel and it's great, I don't know how you don't have more subscribers! Please keep doing what you're doing!

Erin Smith

@Way of the Wrench It must be quite the challenge I'm sure - you hard work is valued and appreciated even if it hasn't yet blown up to the level you deserve, but I'm sure it will come! I've shared your channel with some other sculptor friends of mine who might be interested :) good luck with it all!

Way of the Wrench

3y↑1

Thanks! I work very hard to make good videos for people so it's always nice to hear comments like these. Yeah I'm not sure why I don't have more subscribers too....lol. Honestly, it is extremely hard to be noticed in a sea of youtube videos out there. If you deem me worthy, it would really help me out if you shared out my channel on your social media and asked your friends too as well. Thanks in advance and thanks for the watch! Cheers!

Great video! This is exactly the type of project I want to be able to make. I’ve been soldering in small sizes (like jewelry etc) but have always wanted to learn welding sculptural pieces, only where I live courses on the subject are astronomically expensive (as usually paid for by employers looking to advance an employees technique) and very few and far apart, plus usually don’t get into anything artful or decorative.
Definately subscribing and checking out your channel more to learn the difference between what I know of soldering and this.
As I’m already wondering basic stuff like why I can’t see you using flux etc.
I won’t bother with questions I’m sure your other videos answer ;)
Marvelous piece, love it!

Way of the Wrench

Thanks Gnarbel Jo! I really appreciate the comment and subscribe! Yeah I hear ya, the price of everything these days is getting insane....especially things like copper. You should check out the how to braze video and it will explain the flux you mentioned. Some brazing rods have flux already on the brazing rod and some either require flux or do not depending on what you are brazing. If you have access to your own equipment, I would recommend just trying some sculpture on your own....save your money for materials. If you follow the steps in this video, you can totally come up with your own custom designed brazing sculpture. If you do, I'd love to see some pics, just dm my instagram. Cheers from Canada eh!

Great videos mate, just getting my hear sorted and get back into a bit of welding just bought myself a metal band saw and absolutely stokked with it so got some projects to do really enjoy the leaf video looked great 👍 col

Way of the Wrench

Thanks Col, yeah this video is one of my favorites! Glad to hear your getting back into some welding, good luck with your projects. Thanks for the watch!

Pam Cullen

I will never in my life get to do anything with welding but I found this very relaxing and a pleasure to watch, thank you 🦆💕

Way of the Wrench

I'm sorry to hear that Pam, I can only imagine what that feels like. I lost my best friend of 26 years this year and it really hit me hard too. Well, not sure if I am travelling anytime soon but who knows. Cool to hear I have viewers in the UK! Cheers!

Pam Cullen

I have actually got all the welding stuff, left by my husband who passed recently but not got the confidence to use it. He did quite a bit of work on my liveaboard narrowboat. If you are in the UK you are more than welcome to visit 🦆💕

Way of the Wrench

Thanks Pam, that means a lot! If you ever get the chance, you should give it a try. Gas welding is very much a relaxing process and I'm sure you would enjoy it. If you were local, I would offer you a chance to try it. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate a share out on your social media so more people can enjoy this video. Thanks for the watch!

You are an excellent teacher! I hope that you are teaching some young people your trade. We need more skilled tradesmen like you.

Way of the Wrench

Thank you very much Mary Anne, I work very hard on my videos to make quality edutainment so it's always nice to hear back from viewers. Yes about 11 years ago, I got tired of making money and quit the trades to become a technology teacher in high schools. I currently teach Automotive and Metalwork classes to about 175 students a year but the coolest thing about this Youtube channel is that I now am teaching thousands of people monthly!! I actually started doing this channel seriously when the pandemic started 2 years ago when I had to figure out how I was going to teach my students online. I did the videos for them so they could still have me as their teacher instead of someone else's videos. The students really enjoyed the content and so did the Canadian Welding Association so later that year they contacted me and started the sponsorship up and since then the channel has been growing steadily. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out the channel on your social media so I can help more people out there. Thanks in advance and thanks for the watch Mary Anne! Cheers!

This project was a great way to demonstrate so many skills.. And it all turned out amazing!

Way of the Wrench

Thanks dude! Yeah, if I was a magician, I would have been fired because I'm giving away all the trade secrets!!

Such a cool project that demonstrates some really neat metal working processes. Thank you for making such an indepth video. Keep it up!

Way of the Wrench

Thanks, I think I have found my niche in Youtube where my videos show everything you need to know but with a bit of a story to go with the build, kind of like a tv episode so they skills build on each other. I haven't yet but I had a couple students who don't have me this semester that can't wait to make it later this year. I have also had an offer to buy this project and several staff wanting to try this project out so I would say it was a success! So many different options to create other types of leaves or flowers with these techniques too! Maybe I'll make another one next Fall with Maple or Oak leaves! I also had a bunch of other ideas to make a single leaf into a project itself......I also had the urge to make more medieval armor when I was doing the fluting too......too many projects and not enough time!

Whatistug

@Way of the Wrench Absolutely! You did a good job balancing technical skills and artistic flair.

Have you tried this project with your students? And if so, was it a hit?

Way of the Wrench

Glad you enjoyed it; I had a real fun time making it. It was really nice to make a project video again, especially something more artistic than I usually make. Cheers!

Way of the Wrench

I wonder if there are any metal shops or maker spaces near you that you could use their equipment. Some places might have propane torches that would work for brazing and cutting. I would love to see what you make. Thanks again for sharing on your social media! Cheers!

Thanks for the video it's gonna help me a lot for my metalworks class

Zane Thind

@Way of the Wrench oh that's cool and also a future video would be nice

Way of the Wrench

Man I loved Metalwork in high school.....I made everything I could in there. Coolest thing I ever made was a rotary safe, I'll have to make a video on how to make it in the future.

Hi there! Any advice for a goldsmith/silversmith looking to do some large scale projects? I'm currently working with an oxy/propane setup and a smith little torch. (I've also got a maap gas torch I've busted out for big projects here and there.) Do I need to upgrade big time, or can I limp by braising bigger copper pieces with my current setup?

Way of the Wrench

It's hard to know how capable your setup is, best thing to do is just try it. I bet you will be able to as long as the pieces you are brazing aren't too thick...which won't be a problem as the cost of metal is way too much to use thick copper anyways. If the copper never gets red then the copper is dumping the heat faster than you can apply it....if this happens then your setup is too weak. Thanks for the watch!

Hey, thats cool! I wanna build a mini chopper. So this might help!

Way of the Wrench

That would be cool! I have some future videos that will help with the skillz you need to make a chopper (mini or big).

Wow but what if I only have a BBQ propane tank? Can I still plug in a regulator and torch handle?

Way of the Wrench

You need a lpg regulator, lpg torch, lpg rated hose....but yes. Cutting, brazing, and heating are all possible with propane but not good for gas welding. An Acetylene flame creates a cleaning action while welding and propane doesn't. So you can do this project with your BBQ bottle....and then sell it to buy top sirloin to cook on your BBQ after!

What about using vinegar to change the color?

Way of the Wrench

Yeah that dark blue colour would make for a really cool looking project too! Maybe a tropical leaf or a fish or something. Thanks for the watch and the idea!

good job

Way of the Wrench

Gracias Humberto! Thanks for the watch!

i make my leaves by hand. you have to feel thr copper, it is my zen GREST VIDEO

Way of the Wrench

Yeah you have to feel when the copper work hardens or you will keep pushing the copper until it cracks. A quick anneal and you can shape some more. I feel ya, you gotta become one with projects like this. I really was happy with how this project turned out and I learned a lot. Thanks for the watch Mike!

what would be the price to sell , for this kind of project,,,,,

Way of the Wrench

Thanks Javier!

Javier Guzman

@Way of the Wrench thank you for such great tutorial

Way of the Wrench

2y↑1

Hard to say with art pieces. You have to add the cost of materials too, in this case the copper alone was probably $150 to $200. This piece might go for $750 to $1200, but could go for more if it was commissioned. Thanks for the watch!
