What to do?

[parker042013]

I have two pieces of titanium that are 7/8 x 2 1/4 x.070 and 1 1/2 x2 1/4 x.070. What should I make with them. Need some ideas... I bought the titanium to make some folding knife liners but soon found out titanium a little harder to work with. So I need some practice with it. I have basic hand tools, 1x30 grinder and craftsman 6 in wide grinder and drill press. Any ideas on what to do....

It sounds like the start of a titanium collection. I've got a couple piece of ti that are much thinker. Both are paper weights right now.

Sounds promising. Ha. I can always make a keychain fob but was wanting something possibly a little more useful.

Paper weight, photo prop…

That's and idea. Except the stuff I have is thin. Would .070 be too thick for making a pocket clip?

Found one idea. Made a necklace pendant with orange peel finish and file work edges.

I made my first liners out of .08 Ti with that same 1x30… give it a shot! .07 might be a little thick for a pocket clip. I contour mine down quite a bit thinner than that. I'd say keychain, dog tag, pendant for a necklace, etc.
