Good workout today. I did a 7” and 8” 3/8 Grade 2 bolt and did a 7” KOAB to 2 5/8”. I want to start reversing more with the goal of a bastard reverse. Today, I did a red reverse to 7 degrees. I will post below the videos of the 2 bolts and the red reverse photo.

I’m having fun scrolling Square steel. You can do more with it than round stock. Here are 2 DO videos from today and a photo of scrolling I did today.

I am so pumped with my progress on the Gold Nail. The most damage I have ever done to it is getting it to a 7 degree wobble. At the end of the workout today, I descided to try one, thinking it was going to be an iso session. The damn thing started moving! I bent it to just under 4 inches in doubles! Still more work to do but getting stronger.

Thanks Carl! Your support means a lot.  I gotta get my crush stronger, that is the main thing holding me back.

Thanks so much Anton!  I'm not a Gold nail Bender yet but should be soon. My crush is lacking. I thought the crush would not be a problem with the long length but I got stopped.  Maybe if I am fresher I will be able to do it now. Otherwise, gotta hit the crush isos! Have a good one.

Yea I read that you hit it at the end of the workout thinking it'd be an iso - attack that thing fresh next time and you'll get it - awesome work Don, really impressive

Fun workout today!  I finished that Gold Nail I started on 8/29/18! It took 3 sessions to finish it. On 8/29/18 I took it to 3 7/8”. Then on 9/5/18 I got it to 2 5/8” and then I finally finished it today! I just need to put the whole bend together. It may take some more hard training.  I also did a DHWOG Braced rated bar today, the 20mm x 48”. I only bent it about half way. The kink is insane on that bar. It took me so long that I was wore out and did not have enough left to finish it. I also did a cool scroll that you could use as a wine rack. Here are some photos of the Gold Nail and scroll.
