camz Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 ...the bend is lacking the flow, as I haven't bent long bars the last few weeks, but I am happy nevertheless! Let's see what's next... Â 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 This is insane. What is a headless goliath? I have been too long removed from the bending world. Is this traditional A36 HRS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this traditional A36 HRS? Thanks! Â A "Goliath" is a 0.5"x1.5" flat bar and originally 48" long. It was first bent by Eric Vining. The European pendant is a 12mm x 40mm bar, as you only get metric bars over here. We also have different ratings for the quality of the steel. This was S235JR+AR steel, which is comparable to A36 steel and the standard over here. I have bent a couple of Goliaths and now this one cut down to 42", therefore "headless". Â I don't think that this bar has a different name. If so, I am fine with that, but it wouldn't make sense to me, as it still is a Goliath (0.5"x1.5"...) Hope to get it down to 1m (40") in the future. Edited May 31, 2018 by camz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 What’s the weight of that thing? Looks like a massive chunk of steel! Very impressive bend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, David! Very much appreciated! 4 Kilos, 4.5kg with the original length. This bend should not be a problem for you. The 48" Goliath is approximately as hard as the 20mm x 40" round HRS bar I have bent for David Hornes long bar list.  Congrats to the win of the Steelshredder3 contest btw!
