I did this for one of computer security’s early innovators, Dan G., who has been my hero since I first worked with him on porting MIT’s Project Athena code to ULTRIX in 1987. He now lives on a farm in rural someplace and I know he cooks.
Gary M. is an old friend of mine (also a computer security guy) and is a serious cook. He’s also a serious drinker. One night at 3am after we had been up working on bottles (him on a bottle of bourbon, me on tequila and cokes) he announced he was hungry, and proceeded to make some beef with black pepper bearnais sauce. It was perfect, and amazing because he was barely able to stand upright.
I have made several pairs of these; they turned out surprisingly well and are an easy mold to work with, since it’s open and you can just pour the metal right in. The legality is questionable, unfortunately.
The “straight razor challenge” took on a bit of a life of its own, and has finally concluded.
This is the status of what I think of as “voyager’s jaw.”

I’ve been having a new problem with my handles, which I finally figured out.
If you’re not overreaching, occasionally, you’re probably not fully exploring your options.
Now that the slab is done, the rest is pretty straightforward.
