Just found my first celebrity at KBIS . Mr Gordon Shell
Great seeing you there Jon, not a bad show, love the new Corian product, very innovative 🙂
I dropped 62.5 lbs for this fight, tore both Knees, 2 dettached ribs, broken nose, 2 sprained ankles, a detached bicep, and 3 dislocated toes……that was just the training, I ended up Knocking out my 23-3 opponent in 38 seconds in the first round!
All the proceeds from my tickets went to the Michigan Humane Society, plus they sold shirts and took donations at the event, nearly $7000. raised to combat Dog Fighting. My goal is to fight Mike Vick before I retire to get revenge for the dogs he abused tortured and killed.
The movie will come out during the holidays, below is a quick highlight from the event, oh and it was ON my 43rd Birthday, pretty good party with about 5000 screaming fans!

Thank you all for your kind words, this project is a passion of mine and a dream come true to be a part of.
Even though we are in full production of The Dog Fighter, movies take money to complete and we have some major stars in negotiations for portions of the film, please go to our donation page and help us cover some of the costs.
The final movie will go to a major network or possible theatrical release and a portion of the profits will go back to the dogs! Please help us make this a reality and a hit worldwide, as little as 5.00 helps! Thank you!
The page below will allow you to make donations, each level of donation has a reward attached, all the way up to a credit on the film. Purchase the VIP table seats and be featured in the film during my last fight. Please watch the Movie trailer on the page all the way thru, I speak at the end and explain our plan.

These are the Elevation Training Masks I use to increase my cardio and strengthen my heart for the fight and the rest of my life.
Both masks simulate me training at 8000-16000 feet elevation, restricting oxygen and strengthening my heart and lungs while increasing red blood cells for recuperation.Kinda cool my ass! Super cool! I love chiseled edges, so an 8″ chiseled edge is just sick, nice work!
Jason,
you dont need a separate training for Poly, you just had some really bad luck on those sheets. Be careful with blends, EOS is a blend but its realy thick so unless our shipper breaks it you dont have to worry about being so worried about material handling as a 1/2″ blend. Poly, acrylic, and blends are all good materials, just make sure you inspect and move the material as soon as it delivers, if you would have found those cracks and issues before the driver departed you could have rejected the delivery and not had to eat the entire order. Each material has unique benefits and down falls, all should be handled with care.
When I was doing Corian distribution I heard a quote from the owner of the company to one of warehouse guys as he was walking across a sheet of Corian to get to something in the warehouse……..Owner of the distributor: ” Hey Scott, do me a favor and bring in your flat screen TV tomorrow for me” Scott the warehouse guy: “Why?”….Owner of the distributor: “So I can walk on it like you are doing to that 900.00 sheet of Corian!”
That sank in pretty deep with the warehouse guy and everyone that witnessed it, I no longer walk across sheets in the warehouse, even if they are 3cm thick.Very nice stuff but very expensive and has some fab issues. I know I am a mfg but hats off to the look, its very nice, if I could afford it I would grab a piece and create a very kool bar. I will tell you that our plant has produced the same look at a lower cost but we have seen the issues and are not comfy with producing it in volume just yet.
I have seen it listed under 3-4 different brands so far, very cool stuff.One of my close friends has a large volume shop and he does great quality work! He is also very smart, he recently dropped a very large amount of big box business due to lack of $$ related to the volume, he knows that volume doesnt always equal $$ and has decided to focus more on his customers that understand the value of a quality fabricator instead of beating him down on price with promises of volume. My favorite calls are the new guys that say “You have to set me up, I just became an approved vendor for HD and Lowes, we will be the biggest guy in town this year”. I don’t always have the heart to tell them what the future is about to bring.
