EJ Livesey Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Nice! did you leave those outside? You should take better care of the steel, lol. Put that on your trophy wall and get rust everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, the kink was always my strength maybe due to my hammer strength... had a WR in the #12 sledgehammer coin lift until that Lucas guy came along! 😡😉 The Stainless maybe outta my reach at my age but we'll see! Might try the Big King... but the crush on that thing has gotta be insane!! 😲 Edited September 10, 2016 by robertmiller67 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 The steel you cert-ed on was the last of the batch the I got from Jerry when I purchased FBBC. I herd a rumor that that batch of 3/8" rod was stupid hard so I let it sit in the corner of the shop for the better part of a year in a half. When Delmar ordered some Kings I sent him fresh stock and cut up that old stock for him as well to get it out. I left the old stuff rusty so it could be told apart easy. Needless to say that bar's been around for awhile. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like it locked up on me when I got close to the 2" mark... hence I went back and hit it a few more times toward the end of the vid just to make sure I was under 2"!!

That took a while to recover from... jeez! Just rest & ice for inflammation man... thats all you can do really. I only do a real max bend 1x per month on average.. seems to work for me & usually keeps the injuries to a minimum. Thanks for the advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertmiller67 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Welcome mgalovic! Bending ain't easy sir! Thanks for the love guys... this bend meant a lot to me due to the injuries I had to overcome & my advanced age! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursed with short-thick hands or not! 😠 Still got some bending goals on my radar 1st like you said.. then I wanna specialize & get it maybe one day! James & I where real close one time.. we were actually closer thumbless I think! Sorry to hear about the injuries my friend...

robertmiller67 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thanks Alawadhi! Shiny King would be a real insane bend for sure bud! I'd like to try the BKOAB 1st... then maybe the shiny. I certed the Red in around 12-sec back in 2013... not sure what I can do them in now? I think JT had the fastest Red bend I've seen... around 5- sec I believe!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Yes sir...good to see a long term goal of yours knocked down. Once I get a hang on things, I wouldn't mind taking a stab at bending!

I remember David Wiggy also did a 4 sec bend for a tie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
