Nice, congratulations!  That is a cool style on the end part of the sweep.  Never really thought about doing it like that.

New pr tonight. I did 5/8 x 24 3/4. 

Here is the video.

Big Don you are amazing. I sent this monster some nails, including Red nails from Ironmind, and he promptly bent the RED Nail and SNAPPED it in half- much respect!!

Sick bend, 24.75" will get you really far up that list.  Congratulations, I've watched this and your other videos several times to get ideas on technique.

Thanks Michael. Lots of fun with bending! How long does it normally take to hear on the gripper close?

Thanks Adam! I learned so much on technique from watching other people’s videos. Do you plan on getting into the braced bending as a regular thing?

I have 20 feet of 5/8.  My first bend was exhilarating. I think I'm going to stock with it for a little while anyway.

It really taxes your whole body, you can build up some good strength. Good luck, post your progress so I can follow along.

Congrats!  Good to see people moving up the Horne list.  Can't believe I'm still in the top 5 after all these years.

Thanks Mike! I have always enjoyed watching your old videos. Do you do any bending anymore?

No.  Body gave out at around age 45. Haven't bent in about 5 years.  But it was fun while it lasted.  :laugh
