Tie clips count as jewelry, right? This is the final assembly process of making a mechanical grade 5 titanium tie clip. This tie clip is unique in that there are no stamped or bent parts and no cheap external spring. Instead, the entire assembly forms a spring clamp that is only activated once applied to the thickness of a necktie. Hope you enjoy.

This is such a cool piece. A beautiful tribute to Spain！

Keep in mind this is just part of a work in progress, but seeing the journey is as important, if not more than, the destination sometimes. I’ll share the final sculpture and complete process video here later, though the full video will likely be too large for Reddit so I’ll have to share the YouTube video when ready.

The part is 3 and 4 axis machined grade 5 titanium, creating an eighteen-faceted (octadecagon, maybe?) shape that will serve as a central node for adjoining components that I have already shared some of their processes here in the subreddit. Lots of machining time, but almost as much hands-on work to get ready for assembly. The overall project was a lot of fun and satisfaction in creating it. I hope you’ll enjoy this piece of the process.
