Lyle Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I'm th efirst to admit I know nothing about Bending, but about a year ago I bought a 20' lenght of 1/4" round stock and cut it up "then ignored it", until tonight, I bent 2 pieces that were 7 1/2" long, is this easy, medium?

mmainlands Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I'd call it a good solid start. Onward and upward pal, the bending virus strikes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 My Main goal is a #3 cert but I must say it felt good when the steel ended up in a U shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdoire Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 My Main goal is a #3 cert but I must say it felt good when the steel ended up in a U shape ← Thats why I am afraid to bend!!! Afraid the new addiction will distarct me from my gripper goal and achieving it as fast as possible. But when I am ready I will be bending....I know it.

EricMilfeld Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Yeh Lyle, that really is a good start! That 20 feet will be gone before you can say "help, I'm bending and I can't stop!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Eric, funny you should mention it, last night I had a new guy lift with me and at the end he asked about the cut steel I had, next thing I knew I bent two in quick sucession.....addictive.

Roper Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 It really is something very different when you can bend hard, cold steel, than when lifting any barbell. I guess it`s just something that us men have in our genes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
