That is really nice! :)

Do you create the frame yourself? I have no idea how difficult it might be to work titanium and am curious.

as for working with its an absolute nightmare to be honest, but the property in the grade 5 aerospace titanium i use is a must for the lock, due to the spring in the material mate. to cut to tap, is horrendous it eats bandsaw blades like there free, and breaks taps like they are given to me lol, but i love it.

I can imagine. :)

If you have any photos of the cutting process please do post them. I had a Szebenza many years back, the titanium felt really nice in the hand.
