Hi Karen and all,

    I'd like also to hear about people working with Titanium. I'm
    currently working on a commission: a Jewish salt cellar in titanium
    (and other materials). It involves a lot of sawing (Hebrew
    lettering) and of course no soldering. As I'm still in the early
    stages of designing and making a prototype in copper, I haven't yet
    encountered the "real" problems. I'm looking into the different
    possibilities of cold connections (at least 4 sides, as in a pyramid,
    have to be joined). I bought some special titanium files but up till
    now that's all. Any advice of people who work with titanium is
    very,very welcome! (should I buy special drills, sawblades,... ?). 

    And I'm going to use a torch to do the colouring. Titanium may be
    hard to work with but it sure is a very interesting challenge! 

Thanks,
Linda Savineau (Belgium)
