Octogen Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Today I was teaching a kettlebell workshop and finished with a little bending demo and let some people try some easy 3/16 and 1/4" stock and the CoC I mfelt pretty good melting a medium 60d for the demo but didn't attempt anything harder at the workshop. Anyway a couple of hours later i'm back home and I read Clays post about the first time G8 bender. Thinking to myself that the 60d went down easy I crack out a G5 and take it down!!!! It was a bit of a fight, especially to get the last 1/2" but its finished now! I am one happy camper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octogen Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Thanks guys, it reading about all the super freaks on here that pushes me to keeo working on my bending. I just got the IM wraps so I'm going to back off a little to some blue level stock and then work up to the grade 5 and G8 using those wraps so that when I take a run at the red I won't have to swap from leather to nylon at the last minute.
