What's up guys,
Today I got a bar for ya that takes you back man. Back to the days when dime bags cost a dime, free love was everywhere, and when nobody knew what condoms cost because nobody used them. Yeah I'm talking about the good ole days. So knock the dust of one of those old records, fire up the lava lamp and set the mood for this pour 😀

Preheating the mold while the silver melts in the furnace. We want all that detail man.
