I really hope they find him soon.

Here's a recent longboard I made. Inlay is pretty difficult; I'll probably just stick to bookmatched sheets from now on... My 'Modern Pintail' design with maple and walnut burl veneer:
P.S.
This new layout sucks...
So how is this inlay made?, looks amazing

gold was the best with 2 x 9V . blue is the bluest with 4x 9V
there are charts in google, but mine wasn't according to it though, must be from different electrolytes, trial and error is the best way to be sure.

it should fit over her hand like this, because the one I took a measurement from was only 1mm bigger ID

just wrote a really long story but somehow I closed the tab FML
so heres another,
I made a titanium bracelet for my gf as a gift for valentines
tube I used was 70x4mm
had the lathe guy at work turn it down, till the outside was smooth, then he removed material from the inside till it was ~ 2mm thick, so the ID is around 65mm. its 25mm "high"
not the best job as there are some scratches on the outer side, but we build ships not jewelry.
anodizing titanium is really easy
all you need is some 9V batteries , clean water, baking soda and some copper wire and plastic bowl or something like that.
copper wire is like a lasso in the bottom of the solution and one end is connected to negative side , other wire is connected to the positive and the titanium piece
started with 8 batteries , dipped at a certain angle for 5 or so seconds , FIZZLY FIZZLY
removed 2 batteries, dipped at a certain angle and so on, till I used 2 , this gives a golden colour and a smaller V will not overanodize the rest.
pics
this is a test to see which colours appear with x voltage and so you can understand how I did it.
this is the braclet from different angles
I hope she likes it

That's pretty cool, Sasper; have you made stuff like this before? How much were the materials?
There was an art exhibit in the fine arts center at my school this fall with some really cool metal sculptures from a local artist. You can do some really cool stuff with metal!
thanks
I really haven't done much, but some years ago I made a stainless steel bong.
Where I work it is not allowed to make your own stuff, but I asked nicely and got a permission to do so.
the tubes cost me 40 euros , thats ~53 dollars, I did use most of it but not all.
I have all these ideas , but cant afford to buy my own Tig welder and such.
EDIT: compared to your skills I am like a monkey with a hammer.

I made a titanium rose for my girlfriend
I had to use different OD tubes and get them turned down to around 1mm , what a waste but what you gonna do there was no plate material under 3mm so I had to use tubes.
pics
tubes that are turned , and also you can see the "stem" , which is 5mm thick
heres the first petal , I cut these with an angelgrinder and used a grinding/sanding disk to smooth the sharp edges. I used a vicepress and a hammer to either make a tube smaller or bigger until I got to the biggest tube.
here are the leaves , the stem for these is the 2mm thick TIG rod
I slowly "welded" over these with 12 amps to get the colors
getting there
foggy pic but heres how it looks
It took 7 hours for me to make and I am little sad , because I could have made it a bit nicer, but I didn't have enough time. she loves it though.
It was for her bday, so I said hey honey , wanna see some pics I took at work, shes like ahh do I have to? I said Yes , and I started with the tubes till I got to the rose and then I took it out and gave it to her. she loves it.
If anyone is planning to make one, use thinner titanium than 1mm.I tried to make the leaves like bent in the middle , but it was too thick to get it nice.
also, it was my first time welding titanium , I really love how easy it is to control the puddle, but it really needs to be purged all the way around to get a strong joint. I didnt use any backpurge ( afterflow was 10 seconds though ) and the back of the stem turned white and ugly rightaway.

aluminum knuckles
mine are 10mm thick and my sisters (8mm thick) are yet to be finised
mine
I have some ideas to make me new ones, where the knuckles are, I'll bend a 10mm tube like up and down from small finger to pointing finger , thread one end to take a "bowl", so I can use it to smoke weed. weld the edges , so no-one can see that theres a tube, just two holes.
