		SilverRed on Aug 27, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: My Tungsten Cube (2019) Funny because titanium is actually a very cheap material. I got a 1" cube of it for about $30. I assume almost all of the price is labor for working with it rather than the cost of the metal itself.

I mean the Tantalum rings, those are the ones going for about the same price (75-90+%) as gold rings.
