    I don't think there will be nearly as much left over from a 20 inch piece as you think. IMO Wasted material is part of diying , by the time you figure out a way to divide up the materials and ship it to another person it really won't amount to much savings. if you want stuff cut to exact size, then maybe consider buying the commercial version .

The Titanium is nice if you are making a caldera cone where it needs to support weight while under heat, but for just a windscreen aluminum is fine. Aluminum is lighter that Titanium, just not as strong or as resistant to heat.
    I never thought about that - thank you! AND the aluminum is only $1.25 per foot! And of course, I'm sure Dutch has introduced something else I must have since my last order.
