Titanium Group Buy?

Ey guys Smile
No doubt the people who were at the recent NSW event are aware, titanium makes some hardcore armour...

I'm planning on getting some thin material from titanium joe sometime in the next month, and thought it would be worth letting people know. Due the the method they ship, and the size of sheets, it would be worthwhile combining an order. Also, they have a minimum of USD$100 for overseas orders, so if you're after only a small cheap piece, it would be a good opportunity. At the moment i'm interested in some 1.5mm sheet. Just doing this nice and early, the list of sheet and plate can be found here:

http://www.titaniumjoe.com/6al4v%20sheet.htm

And you can use this to convert the inches to mm:

And this for the currency conversions:

Smile Again, I'll not be getting it for at least a few weeks...

I could be up for some more Ti if Joe has the right sizes. Having ordered there before, it makes packing cheaper if all the pieces are relatively the same sizes IE mixing long strips and wide sheets makes for an awkward and more expensive package. Joe only ships by UPS or similar, so expect to share a $70+ freight bill Shocked

Bugger, well we should check back soon, but three people is enough to make the shipping cost worthwhile if we can stick to a fairly equal sheet size Smile

I'm happy to pay extra for my part of the shipping if my bit is the longest. Joe often has new stock coming in, so checking back is always good. He should set up an RSS feed to the Ti junkies like us Laughing
