Default Anyone know where I can find a sheet of titanium?

My fiancee's father works at a place where they have machines to cut and weld metal. He has had experience fabricating and replicating things if he has a mold. I was hoping that he can make a custom Ti exhaust or something for me. Anyone know where you can just buy sheets of Ti so he can give it a shot?

Titanium is very difficult to weld, so is he sure he has the equipment to work with it.

Yeah, I know it's hard to weld.. it's hard to bend it as well. He has the equipments for sure. Do people ever just buy sheets of Ti?
