FrankyBoy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Now I'm really addicted. For the first time I worked with shortened nails. My ealier best was a 6" Blue. I began with a blue cut to 5 3/4, which went down easy. Then I fully bent a 5 1/2" blue which was a bit more difficult. The last nail I tried was a 5 1/4" blue which was quite tough in the last part of the crush down but it went down too. I'm now using the IM pads since Martin Kotte donated me his leather pads and showed me how to wrap the pads. Before that I just used towels. Then Martin explained me how to crush the very last part of of nail. Without this technique the 5 1/4 wouldn't have gone under the magic 2" mark. Thanx Martin.

EricMilfeld Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Congratulations, Franky! Great progress! I have a 5 1/16" Blue I bent on November 1, 2003 hanging on the wall out in the garage. I remember fighting like crazy to get that thing crushed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
