Hi All,
I finished it this afternoon. I cast the blanks earlier this week. I had one failure on the top blank. The tube moved again. For the second effort, I used a couple of extra drops of MEKP to speed up cure time. All the time hoping it didn't get hot and fail. But it worked fine.
The WABDL is a power lifting organization. All they lift is bench press and dead lift. The BDL stands for Bench Dead Lift, I'm not sure what the WA is for. They are international. At the World Finals last year they had folks from other countries. Gene took 2nd last year at the finals in the 259 pound class. (243-259 only) He did it with a lift of 435 pounds. This year he "will" win 1rst, baring any unforeseen injuries. The last time we talked he lifted 530 at the gym. "No one" is even close to that in his class. In fact, if he lifts that, he will automatically be bumped into a higher class. (open class) The finals are in Nov. So when he wins I will present him with the pen. He will be ecstatic, he will love it. And this pen is only good for one thing. If he doesn't win, it stays in my pocket and goes in a drawer.
Here are a couple of shots, so you can see all the text,
Comments welcome, thanks for looking.
