I've been making some Ti straws, ranging in length from 8.5" to 9". They are made from 5/16" x .035" tubing. I'm really enjoying mine for milkshakes, as I was fed up with the way the plastic ones collapsed. Here's some pictures:
Cool, should cut the length down a little and put a pocket clip on it, like the ones from fisher, so you can keep it on you in your pocket,,, JR
I would LOVE one of these, especially with a pocket clip to keep it secure in my jacket pocket. It would look great with laser engraving. You should consider selling them. By the way, I think they are called bombillas when they can be used to stir your drink as well as sip it.
I am selling them on another site, but I can't sell them here until I have some more posts. Do a google search for my username and Titanium Straws, and you should be able to find the thread. I'll see if I can't find some pocket clips that will fit well.
I was at 7-11 last week, and they had anodized aluminum straws by the slurpee machine. For .99 I figured , and grabbed one. They come in 4-5 colors too. Sure made the Slurpee easier to drink.
The Titanium ones Tekno_Cowboy has are far better than the aluminum ones, fwiw. Flame colored Titanium >> colored aluminum
Speaking of Flame coloring.... I might send a few to someone with a bit more experience to get them colored, or possibly find a shop willing to do a bit more professional job.
Could a moderator please move this thread to the appropriate sales forum? -or- Should I just start a new thread in the sales forum?
