Hi Rob, I got a Green Mengel B from Pieh Tool Co. to make the roses for the rose garden gate. Not sure what your budget is but I think it ran about $250 plus shipping. I love it, i find a new use for it every week(sometimes it does hold a door open). It has an 7-1/2" dia shallow bowl on the back, all sorts of cylinder and rt angle shapes on the sides and some smaller bowls and a spoon shape on the front.
Depending on what thickness of metal your working on and how many shapes your going to make, you might be able to carve out the shape in a stump or something. It will obviously get a little bigger each time you burn a bit off, but it should do the job for a few. Just a thought.
