Here are the fantastic entries into the Embedded Casting Contest. Take some time to evaluate the entries for creativity of objects cast, asthetics, as well as fit and finish.

The poll will close Feb. 23 at 8 pm EST. The top 3 vote recipients will then be entered in the finalists poll which will begin Feb. 23 through Feb. 27 at 11pm EST. The winners will be revealed Feb. 28.

The poll can be found in the Contest Votes area

The prizes are as follows:

First: Silver Rollerball kit from Silver Pen Parts valued at $185
Second: Cap, Apron, Smock from TimberBits valued at $115
