  1. Re:Sexiest metal? on The Sexiest Metal · · Score: 1

    You know how when you meet someone and don't really find them attractive at first but overtime that changes and you just cant help but have feelings for them? Well, I work in a machine shop and dont work with titanium but I have known steel and aluminum for years and dont even feel the slightest bit aroused when they're around, let alone find them sexy. While I admit, steel and aluminum are no titanium, you'd think I'd feel something. Is this normal? Ti is very expensive. So are women(not the $2.00 kind). Perhaps it the "un-obtainable" notion that makes _things_ "sexy" to people.

  3. Re:What about a Ti hockey stick? on The Sexiest Metal · · Score: 1

    I work in a CNC machine shop but dont work with Ti so I cant give you a metalurgical lecture on what you're looking for exactly although I'm sure some form of it would suit your needs well. However, we manufacture and work with a rubberized plastic (lamens descripton) known as Elastomer. It can take great stresses and return to it's pre-formed position repeatedly from now until the end of time(not exactly but, a long, long damn time). It is relatively inexpensive to produce and can be tailor made to a desired derometer. Not knowing the actual design and workings of a hockey stick, I'd have to say I'm not sure if it would or wouldn't work for you (anything is possible though) but if you would like more info you can e-mail me at: msmagee@attbi.com

    I get nervous breathing oxygen. It is the giver of life. From what I understand, life is the leading cause of death among living things. Why concern yourself with the possibility of a 25,000rpm diamond-wheeled cut-off tool screaming within thousandths of an inch of your fingers? I think they look cool but for the price,... I'll pass. :) Why is anything at all?
