Trouble is I’m limited to my wood lathe and carpentry with maybe denier nylon fabric. Also how much do GEs’ GEnx turbo fans cost (wholesale)
Facade do I have a deal for you. There is no way that you can make the Leer on your home lathe, you need industrial strength machinery ahere boy, and I have in my possession right this minute a Swakegwegian 5 speed wood/metal lathe with a fabric stretcher and fondler combine-ire, just what you will need. Now we will have to get to negotiating a price for this and since you sound like a decent sort of dude I will take a small island in the Bahama’s group as a swap or if you are of a mind to get me a place on ‘The Apprentice’ ,I want to see if that rug will go fetch a ball when it’s thrown.
Ring my mobile to contact me.
I cut rings from a lathe with a groove for a gold wire. The gold is 14k (I know 24K is more malliable but that’s what people want from me). I won’t say how I’m doing it now because I’d like a lot of opinions and techniques. My biggest problem is making the band seamless. Any tips or tricks would be helpful. Thanks!
I would think that brazing the inlay to the titanium would work, though I know titanium can be difficult to braze. By selecting the right braze alloy, it would blend well with the gold and allow a smooth transition. Might take some practice.
Also, most suppliers of jewelry brazing products may have some tips to help you out. Finally, there are a large number of jewelry websites than can be a big help when working with precious metals. At least there you stand a chance of finding a more experienced and more interested audience than you’ll find on Yahoo.
