All can be made out of Titanium [photo]

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

One of my slogans is that I can make everything out of Titanium. This one sure takes less time if casted in gold or silver from a wax model. Since there is no good result in casting Titanium, other skills are needed to produce a Titanium model.
This one I used burs first, then a flat graver and finally I hammered the satin texture using the Enset.

The same question Arnaud.

For polishing Ti there is only one that does the job real nice. I have tried all polishing block, and this one from A*F Swiss works great. It is meant for Pt

Here is the a catalogue that shows it http://www.afswitzerland.com/pn/Products/Catalogue%20outils%20bijoutiers.pdf
It is this one as on the photo
It looks similar to billiard chalk, never tried that one but perhaps it could work too.

Another good way to polish TI is using fine diamond compound and leather.

I answered this question many times already, so perhaps Sam can make this a "sticky".
Here I answer the same question. http://www.engraverscafe.com/showthr...wiss+polishing
