If you want some funky heavy metal, then go to a welding shop and buy

I am confused, you suggest to get tungsten electrodes, but to make
sure to get plain titanium ones?

By the way, tungsten used to be sold on ebay, that's where I got my
collectible piece.


McMaster-Carr sells machinable tungsten alloy rods in many sizes.
