    A way to make a titanium band is to use a hydraulic press and convert
    a cut out washer shape into a ring, much as has been done by
    traditional goldsmiths forever. The 'washer' is placed onto a mandrel
    and formed over it until it reaches a 'ring shape. In the same way a
    ring can be turned into a washer by flattening it. Another way would
    be to turn it, or cut it from mill-supplied titanium tubing.
