Hey, cool. Thanks Curt for chairing the contest, and thank you to the prize donors. I should have waited one more day for the Alumilite order I placed today. :)

I appreciate the votes sent my way. I had trouble getting a good photograph of the blank I wanted to enter, so I went with my second choice.

I thought with as many people into casting, there would be more entries. :confused:

I think that people read more into this contest than there is. It is BASIC casting for this contest. Maybe next year there will be more entries.
