In the 70s all the kids round here thought British Steel made Light Bulbs and Toilet Rolls
A mate of mine that does a lot of turning gets good money for Ti swarf, he fills up builders bags with it and it’s identified with a hand held fancy gun.Why does the kin spell checker think I want to spell scarf, is swarf not a proper word

No. It is quite commonly used for Mokume gane.
Canister Damascus is what that’s called. Still a sod if you haven’t got every bit of air out. And you’ve got to try and cut through the canister. Lots of grindinf
I know that site incredibly well. I’ve done much consultancy there and at other de la rue sites
Show me some you've made, even copper or brass or are you just reading off the internet? Mokume is more like brazing compared to damascus being more like welding, and while i'm not ruling out the possibility of making ti mokume I reckon if you can you'd need more pressure or explosives than any of us have got in our garages.
Calm down dear, we've all been wrong at one time or another, no need to take it out on me.
I know at least four things about Mokume gane:
1. It exists as a technique for pattern metal forming
2. It is similar to the pattern welding process people erroneously refer to as "damascus"
3. It is distinct from pattern welding steel in that it typically involves non ferrous metals
4. You can form Mokume gane from titanium
So really, I only know one more thing than you.
Whats the one thing?????
if it's that you can make mokume titanium show me

HTH. I'll be honest though, I am surprised someone like you didn't know this was possible or are you now arguing on some semantic issue to save face?
I asked you too show me how you've done it, you often preach, but rarely show anything of your own. The first video is copper and nickel silver, the second might be titanium probably with silver, but it doesn't show the process, i've still been talking about joining different grades of ti.
Mokume gane is a very similar technique with subtle differences particular to pattern welding non ferrous metals.
Thats non ferrous like copper and brass or gold and silver not ti
