DIY of the day: Ti pocket clipHammered and flame-anodized titanium
Nice clip! I like the finish on it.
Flame anodizing is fun, but what about playing with electricity and lemon juice?Here is a test :- 40V, using an old Epson printer PSU, (12V from computer PSU gives a nice bronze/gold)- Some cotton dipped in Lemon juice as electrolysis solution- The + is connected to the scale, the - clamped to the cotton- The scale is wiped with the cotton a few time until the color is the one desired (this technique at 40V gives a random pattern between gold, deep-violet and light blue)

Here is the Ti Rambler assembly:(yeah i skipped the scale making part and anodizing/oxidizing -flamed his time-)(Image removed from quote.)Major issues: There are some scratches on the scales i couldn't erase, and I reversed the file, it looks towards the Ti scale (everything was already pinned when I saw it )(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)I also tried to made a pocket clip, -two as the first broke during cold bending-unbending-bending- ...Everything is oxidized to light blue and some shades around (deep violet - yellow)(Image removed from quote.)
I use it daily for now (and it's not going to change soon)So here is a picture under the Alps sunlight:
Why do people (and me too) like Titanium so much?It screams to deaf when you cut it with hacksawIt wears your hacksaw as much as it gets cutIt blinds you when you burn it with its bright flameIt breaks your drill bitsIt is a pain to grindIt gets scratched when you look at itIt breaks when you want to bend itIt bends when you want to break itButIt has so lovely colors and is tougher and lighter than its steel equivalentI made three [four] more clips:(old one is the second from the left)(Image removed from quote.)One broke (again)(Image removed from quote.)
