The "@raybrockman" bar has made its way across the pond.

There are certain days in your life that you will never forget. Everyone knows where they were when JFK was assassinated, man (allegedly) landed on the moon, the twin towers collapsed and now you all need to remember 5th May 2018.....

Today is up their with the birth of my son....

Well when the postman knocked on the door this morning I knew it could only be 1 thing!!

Im so happy with how this has turned out and I really hope @raybrockman likes the end result.

It's come a long way from original idea and it's turned out even better than I pictured.

Now this is by far the biggest piece of silver I own, weighing in at 12.5oz and here is a comparison next to a 1oz maple

Now I know Ray has plans to get this bar down to about 6-8oz and will be selling these to the good folk of steemit. I guarantee he will have people knocking down the door to get hold of one.

A massive thanks must also go to @stackinag47 for doing a fantastic job at pouring this monster of a bar. Is there anything these #metalsmafia boys can't do??!!??

We all know that @raybrockman is incredibly generous but to give me his #2 bar is a great touch and I really appreciate it man. Thank you.

Im sure I'll do another blog about this kick-ass bar, with a lot more detail but for now I think I'm just in shock now I have it and finally hold it.

@welshstacker, first let me say Thank You for helping me with this project. I wish everyone could see this bar in person, pictures do not do it much justice, the different levals of thickness really pops out when you see it with your own eye. There are several raised and lowered sections on this bar.... so glad you got, and again I appreciate everything you did. Bar looks AWESOME.

Thanks fella, I'm so glad you like it. I'm still in awe of how cool it looks and I can't get over you actually sent me #2. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You made a kick ass design for this beast of a bar! And Ray Brockman is one of the most generous guys in the community and maybe even the world. The bar looks and feels so much better in your hands then in pictures

Well with out a you it would just be a 3D mold and without @edxserverus it would just be some lines on paper.

You've done a fantastic job and it looks and feels amazing. Thanks for bringing this idea to life.

Beautiful Bar my good man. We'll be sure to remember 5th May as well :-)

Can't read this one word in the picture. Can you tell?

Greatness

Oh, thanks!

I could read the ....ness part not the first few letters. For me part of the charm of a bar is to read whats written on it by it's creator. Makes you feel kind of closer to all that silvery shininess ;-)

What a massively huge logo bar!!! Awesome of @raybrockman! Congrats, my friend!

Thank you @silversaver888. Ray is a great bloke and is the most generous stacker I've ever known

Wow well done @welshstacker on the design. Do me a favour and bring this to work so I can see closer. Please pretty please. You’re very generous @raybrockman

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

12.5 oz!!!! That is one massive bar. I think you both have done an amazing job with the conception and @stackinag47 did a great job with the pour. Congrats guys!

Hey I just put pencil to paper, @edxserverus should also get a mention for turning it into a 3D mold. @stackinag47 has worked his magic and it looks fantastic

That looks freaking sweet dude and now I am excited asw3ll as I know my bar and maple will soon be arriving. 🤠 yippee kai aye mofos

It's tots amaz-balls.. 😂 The pictures don't do it justice. Its a great looking piece

Congrats welshy on having one of your designs come to life! Hopefully the next will come soon also 😁

Can't wait for the steem silver round to be made now. Hope it's not a let down

That looks sweet man. I reckon keep the bar up at 12oz man. I don't think I could buy a 6-8oz one knowing there were some big thick ones out there! LOL!

Well you need to speak to @raybrockman before they reduce the size of the 3D cast. I'm sure if you wanted one he would sell you one

That's a big one! The design works really well on this, and looks great. Did the postman hand it to you or did it make a hole in the floor when it dropped through the letterbox!

I've seen bigger!!!! He handed it to me, too thick to fit through the letter box.
