Just thought you guys might like to see the second installment in my new journey working with titanium. Here are a few pictures. In case you spot it there is a couple droplets of water on the TC in one or two of the pictures.

So nice. So promissing!

BTW, at this point of your learning curve, how long does it take for you to machine this tailcap?
 
Thanks guys. This one was a little easier to make than the first. I am still figuring out the speeds and feeds. However I did brake an $18 insert trying to part it off :ohgeez:. That sucked! Being only my second Ti piece, and still learning, it took about 2.5 hours to complete.

Oh, and the photos? I took those first thing in the morning light just after sunrise. Beautiful lighting eh? There was a ton of moisture on the wall where the tail cap was sitting, hence the little droplets of water on the cap.
