Excellent Job! I am very impressed!

Excellent!  Are you going to use some kind of virgin ABS plastic in the actual mold?

 I hadn't research on what specific plastic materials (beads) to use yet, but my brother and I are working on two approaches. First will be something much like this: http://www.techkits.com/pim/index.htm . And the other is two part resin (no melting) and rather pushing the material through, you pull it through the other side with a vacuum tank. But honestly, the plastic bead force injection method looks soooo much easier (which my brother prefers and honestly think what we'll probably end up using). Sometime in the next week or two, we're gonna machine the reserve molds from two large blocks of aluminum for the real mold. I just wanted this aluminum hucard for two reason; 1) it's an aluminum hucard! 2) if there's a delay in machining the molds or getting the injection equipment or whatever, then I can mess around meantime and make plaster type quick set with silicone layered mold for the two part resin trial and error process (I still plan on using the two part resin method because it has application for other stuff/hobbies that I'm into).

I got that book back in 1999 and it was already old by then (I mean, the original version/print of it), but that was my first entry into assembly language (x86). I thought it was a great book. I just got it back after years of lending it to my brother :P

 Power Golf. I'm dead serious >_> You can barely seem the Power Golf hucard (green label) in the shot with the mill. It's sitting on a piece a white paper on the mill itself.

The venerable Power Golf, a worthy sacrifice for the greater good of HuCARDs everywhere. .

I like that PIM Shooter thing. IP is going to give you WAY better results, btw. I don't know of any two part resins that can be low/zero pressure injected and still give you a good non-porous, strong, final product.
