KRC Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) If we decide on drill rod, I have a few dozen pieces of rated 7" I'd be happy to donate to the cause. Edited October 16, 2023 by KRC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy drill rod online in 3 ft lengths, so I don't know if it's the same batch. I would have to rate one out of every five pieces in order to confidently speak to their exact ratings. Even if I ordered a ton at once all from the same supplier it could still vary. With bolt head markings I can at least say it was probably made by the same factory If you have the time to rate each drill rod I can run a statistical analysis to see if they are within a specific parameter that would deem them "the same". Also with a rated cert list you don't have to have every bar be the exact same rating. You can post all the ratings of each batch you rate and people can opt to buy in a specific rated bar for a cert. It would be very similar to what David Horne is doing now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce1337 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Another solution for the international benders is to have satellite locations around the world where we all use the same steel and same rating method so we can provide rated stock to our fellow benders that live far away. But the biggest problem is that drill rods are basically non existant in EU so we would have to bend a piece of steel that is similar to drill rods in both rating and feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gripineer Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 FBBC appears to have reopened under Shawn Pantke. Anyone know if they plan to continue their bending certs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think whatever is in place now is what he is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, was referring to latest 6 months being closed. And now reopening with Shawn as managing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
