Donc101 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 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. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 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. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
