    I wasnt sure where to put this. But here goes.

    This is my own creation based on the iconic jailbird. No i will not sell or build more.

    Im a welder/fabricator by trade. And ive always liked the look of the jailbird. Owned one too. But it was just too heavy for me. Years down the road i finally got the time to construct my own. Only this one is all Titanium. I havent weighed it yet because its not finished. Im hoping it will be lighter.

    i have to give MM props. These are not easy to build. Im sure by now they have came up with easier ways around the tough stuff. Im only learning. I love to tinker and its been fun yet challenging. Especially dealing with the hardness of titanium. Its a rough replica and could use a lot of refinement.

    Looks quite nice.
    I wish Mature Metal offered a titanium option.
    I also wish they offered a PA option.
    I would re-buy my Queens Keep without hesitation if it offered both.

    Titanium is roughly half the weight of stainless. I machine a lot of it at work, but I do not weld.

    Looks like a nice job. Kudos!

    Excellent work there.
    I've done some work in titanium in long distant past, it's not as easy as people might think.
    Its a pity you cant be talked into doing custom work I'm sure you would do very well.

    Very nice! I've thought of doing the same, I was nukie certified back in the day. I do like the weight though even ordered the extra ring, guess I'm just a masochist... ;-)

    If it's good enough for the fuselage of a SR-71 Blackbird at 2500mph, it's definitely good enough to hold back a penis in even the most challenging of situations lol.

    I'd be great to wear something like this. Have you considered starting a business to sell these?

    You could always modify them a little so they aren't direct imitations of the 'Jailbird' device.

    That’s amazing work. Why does it have different colours? Could it be polished to a shine?

    While i appreciate the kind words. I dontvwish to persue this as a buisiness. Ill leave it to the professionals. This was a learning experience.

    Very striking and you can be proud of the work. Hope it satisfies as much when you lock it on as when you finished building it.
