A few things today.
Got word from the foundry. They will have a new batch ready tomorrow so if I can, I'll take some time off work to drive there and pick them up. Fingers crossed they are keeping the quality consistent.
If they are, and this next batch proves a little easier to finish than the first ten, I might open up to take on a FEW more.
And speaking of the first ten...

I hope to start getting these out this weekend.
One final thing... one of the folks (I don't want to say who) has contacted me after having been in accident and might want to pass on his/her ingot to someone else. (Here's hoping that member gets well soon!) So it looks like that one will be available.
My plan is to send them out in order of full payment, not signups, as that's how it's often done, out of fairness. So unfortunately, you're actually not in the first batch. Sorry to disappoint, but I hope you understand.Im in the first ten yes! Can’t wait
Oh, the joys of washing metal ingots in soap, then in acetone when you realize that you're all out of rubber gloves! : )

The pile above is from the latest batch after dremelwork and washing. A few will go back to the foundry to be re-melted, but most of 'em are good for the next step.
Seems like it has a lot of small pits / holes not smooth like the one in the middle of the picture below or in the showI received mine yesterday and it is absolutely perfect!!! Thanks Joe! This piece gets its own spotlight in my collection. It’s truly fantastic!! This pic doesn’t do it justice.
