Lyle Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi all, I've only dabbled in bending, but one question arose, What do You all do with the stuff you've already bent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 As far as I know, bent nails and bolts are kept in large metal coffee cans. :stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmainlands Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) Bent nails, unlike straight, are toxic and unless you all are looking to attract the wrong type of government attention I suggest this thread be locked right away. Unbending and/or breaking a bent nail or bolt is an incredible workout, and just look at Big Steve's avatar to see what can be done! As far as I know, bent nails and bolts are kept in large metal coffee cans. :stuart ← Edited October 29, 2004 by mmainlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Crusher Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Excuse my ignorance, as I am not a biological or chemical engineer, but what exactly makes a bent nail toxic? Please enlighten me, as I have a couple of hundred pounds of the stuff in my home gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 we are filling a soon-to-be monster keg with all our bent stock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please enlighten me, as I have a couple of hundred pounds of the stuff in my home gym. ← Hey brotha, I have a feeling he was kidding about them being toxic. And if not, who coultn't use a couple extra fingers? Or eyes? Or... I save at least one or two of each type of thing i bend (i save a couple g5s and a couple g8s) to show proof that i've bent X type of bolt, but the rest i just trash eventually.

OldGuy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 The energy used to bend the nails, becomes stored in the nail itself. Sooner or later it is released causing a chain reaction. Do not keep too many bent nails in the same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I have an unshakeable grip on the title of "pun master" I have hands on ability to squeeze every last pun out of a post and will even pinch other people's puns, which can be crushing. Some get bent out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanB Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hahaha, it´s ON! Back to the original question. I recycle the bent bars, nails and what ever. You can also use the bent stuff you have to increase the load of various things as for example a jar for working the muscles that opens the hand or you can do like smitty and fill a keg with the stuff, altough that would require a heck of alot of bending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
