stranger Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Did some bending and grippers yesterday. For a challenge by FeatsofAlex : bend a Red nail in IMP's then use the legs to set a #2 CoC gripper. Fastest time wins. If you use a 2.5 take off 5 seconds, #3 take off 10 second and 3.5 take off 15 seconds. I ended up with a time of 17 - 10 for using a #3. A fun contest! Also managed a Shiney Bastard in IMP's 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 @stranger I thought your Grip Show episode had been mentioned here somewhere but couldn't find a thread. Good interview. Somehow, I had no idea you have been at the GripBoard since 2005. That's incredible. I thought you came around in like 2020. Wow! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
