are $4000+ that something didn't seem right. I couldn't see how titanium
would ever be cheaper than SS.

Thanks!

A friend was going to pull wheels on a military box made of
titanium, so his Daughter could use it collecting horse muck, and asked
me to cut the end out out of it to make it easier to dump. I couldn't
get my Oxy-Acetylene to cut.

could be stainless(real heavy) or titanium(much lighter).
