About this episode

In this episode, Jamie and Curt discuss creativity and entrepreneurship with Trevor from Titan Ring Designs.

In this episode of The Lone Machinist, Jamie and Curt are joined by Trevor from Titan Ring Designs, and things get deep… like "question your entire life path while holding a mic" deep. What starts as a simple chat about machining quickly turns into a full-blown masterclass on creativity, risk-taking, and why making tiny, ridiculously intricate titanium parts might actually be the most logical life choice. Trevor walks us through his journey from school shop kid to teaching machining, to quitting it all to chase building cool stuff full-time, all from a backyard shop that's smaller than most people's garages. Along the way, we get into artistic machining, tumbling black magic, and the reality of turning passion into something that (hopefully) pays the bills. There's also a healthy dose of "just send it" energy, some very real talk about the education system, and a reminder that maybe… just maybe… playing it safe isn't the safest option after all. If you've ever thought about starting your own thing, making something from scratch, or just escaping the 9–5 grind, this one's going to hit a little too close to home.
