Yes I meant I'd stick with jigsaw rather than tinsnips to cut your petals...

Either run around it with a coarse file, or with coarse

I thought the petals plan was fair enough & he can spend his £30odd plus £discs on something else.

I don't think it would be doable to make a neat job of cutting the head off the barrel with an ag without leaving an exposed raw edge.
Leaving the rim intact, as in your jigsaw approach, would leave more rigidity in the barrel as well as dealing with cut edges.
