A lot of cutting especially on the ladies wedding band [photo]

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

I always tell my customers I can make whatever out of Titanium, and sometimes I regret saying that.

Making these in gold or silver is piece of cake, however as Ti can’t be soldered you have to cut it all out of one piece. That is what I did on these.
Wearing them won’t make a happy marriage but bride and broom love them.

What's not to love? Brilliante work! Beeing as you can't solder are they made from a tube?

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

They are not made out of tube, I make the bands out of ti sheet 1.5 mm and weld them. Welding of course ain't the same as soldering.

Makes sense. I musst say, I know werry little about Titanium. The welder you are using, that wouldn't happen to be one of these: http://www.riogrande.com/Product/PUK-3-Professional-Plus-Arc-Welder/503082?Pos=6 ?

Wow, that's "monnikenwerk" (work of a monk) Arnaud, very original design and very well executed!

I think You should get some Longjohns and have
TITANIUM MAN on the front and a cape as well.

Terrezar, thank you and indeed I use a PUK 3 for Ti welding.
Thanks Willem, indeed some “monikken werk” Sometimes it is hard to calculate the time needed for something you do for the first time. Sometimes it is less, sometimes it takes more time.
Thanks Ray, we already have the “iron man”, “titan man” sounds great too.
Thanks Scott, that is the nice thing about my job, getting paid to make you happy
Thanks Chujybear, Monk, Richard and others
