GrassMaine89 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 This cert just passed. Also, last night I bent a Grand Bastard in doubles. I brought another one down 2 inches and 1/16, didn't have anything left to finish it. I wrapped a red in singles and was gonna try it but I could feel my finger opening back up so i'm going to continue waiting. I'm just about out of steel to bend in doubles but I've got more that should be here shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 this finger splitting is getting lame...i heard back from Ironmind, they are searching for a judge, which should take a week...The finger split was pretty bad but I'm going to lift and bend in doubles, I will be fine...the Red Nail will fall regardless both of these bends were done with no warm up, I wanted to test worse case scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 11/26/2015 Bent 1 duke of all bastards in BBW's over IMP's Bent 1 red nail Bent 2 red nails under cert conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 11/27/2015 Bent 4 duke of all bastards in bbw's over imp's...I kinked all four, swept all four, and then crushed all four... my fingers keep splitting on me...but at this point Ironmind said I should get a judge early next week, I can still bend them with the split fingers, but can only do a couple at at time, if I do too much they split worse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 11/29/2015 Bent 3/8 G2 Bolt cut to 7 inches in doubles Bent 5/16 x 7 Square generic CRS in doubles Time to take a few days off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm hunting the Red Nail again. I have taken advice and am dong the bending in which you break the bend into its 3 components over 3 days. Here he picture from the final day of that progression. The top nail is a warmup bend of 5/16 x 7 HRS. The four in the middle I finished the crush on, they are SteelWorks 5/16 x 7 CRS. The bottom 2: Red Nail (started from wobbled) and a grade 5 5/16 x 7 (kink was done on day 1 in doubles). Everything was IMP except for the grade 5. I'll add my most recent video as well which shows my only cert condition bend. Ironmind has been searching for a judge for a week and a half, it's a waiting game but I'm ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 I split my finger awhile back so have been conservative with my bending. Today I bent 3 of the red nails, 1 under Cert conditions. I had tried last week and couldn't even wobble a red, so I need to make sure I'm rested. These reds feel heavy as hell. I recieved them from Ironmind on 9/16, I'm hoping this is the hard batch everyone is talking about, if not I'm not sure how the cert will go. My referee hasn't recieved the nails yet, I'll keep this log updated on the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
