Andrew Dube Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This seems to a popular bar right now so I thought I'd give it a try! I'm not as experienced or confident with "shorter" bars. Most of my braced bending has been closer to 48" or 12" spikes and the like. Even though this took almost twice as long as my recent Goliath bend I would say this was easier. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acromegaman Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Great job Andrew! I think I should've started my braced bending journey with something else because that is an awkward ass bar. Lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first big bar I bought was a 1/2×1×48 and I think it sat around for the better part of a year before I figured out how to bend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the 1.5” wide bar with the same other dimensions easy but that 2” width changes how you can put pressure into the bar. Very hard bend you did. Nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the extra width is annoying. I just rewatched the video and you can see how often I readjust my grip trying to find something comfortable. Pulling on the end with my fingers bent at the first knuckle seemed to work the best with one hand. On 2/3/2018 at 4:19 PM, crushonomics said: Awesome bend! Thank you!

My legs are beefy do that probably doesnt help when attempting a between the leg bend at 36”. I still cant bend mine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dube Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Fuelled by coffee and sunshine I did some spontaneous scrolling this afternoon and wrapped this 10' 1/4" hot rolled bar around the original flat bar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't happy with this piece initially but finding the right angle to display it and adding a coil here or there and I'm pretty happy with the end result. I still have no idea what I'm going to make when I scroll but every once and a while it turns out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
