Also, I’m not sure about the unbraced snapping. Couldn’t find much info on it and have never done it. Not sure on horseshoes yet, should know soon. The snaps are the same as steel shredder 2.

Donc101 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I received a message with some questions. I will post the answers here, in case others have the same questions: Is it going to be possible to adjust attempts, based-upon what other competitors are doing? I have a pretty good idea of what I will be attempting, but might attempt something more difficult, depending on placing. Some of the bends we will be doing multiple people at 1 time. Some we will just be going in a certain order 1 by 1. The medley, we will probably have 2 heats. The top half of the people in the standings and the bottom half. You will know what everyone else is doing in your heat, b/c everyone will have the steel ahead of time. We will do our best to alleviate your concern. Are the wrenches "Made in India?" Yes Also, reading the rules, say if me and someone else are close in standings and we both attempt a 3/4 bar. He fully bends a 3/4 x 44" bar and I attempt a 3/4 x 40" bar, but am only able to bend it 20 degrees, would I be the winner (or ahead of him) in that event? You win. Are you still getting the HRS from onlinemetals.com? I have not bought steel from there in a long time. I buy the HRS from a local steel supplier. It is consistent with steel I have bought from other places. And on the unbraced, would the same rule apply (if I'm reading it right)? If I made an attempt at a Grade 5 reverse, and was only able to bend it 10 degrees, it would beat everyone else who bend lesser bars, and Grade 5s less than 10 degrees? So, an attempt would count for something, as long as it was bent at least 1 degrees? Partial bends count for DU and reverse and a partial bend of a bigger bar beats a full bend of a smaller bar. Bars must be bent to 2" for DO Are there going to be weight classes? Or sub-divisions? No. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 We are now exactly 1 month out from the contest! After the contest, we will have a blast to celebrate a wonderful day of bending! I am going to cook up tons of food. The menu most likely will be smoked pork shoulder and all the fixings, including coleslaw, cheesy potatoes, etc. We will eat, drink, smoke cigars and just have a great time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I have been e-mailing with Jedd Johnson. I am pumped that he is sponsoring the event and sending prizes. We should have a bunch of cool prizes and I am working on trophies too. Thanks for your sponsorship @Jedd Johnson and Diesel Crew! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am absolutely blown away by the package I got yesterday. I came home from work and there was a box with a return address to “J. Henze” I was not expecting anything from Josh. I knew something cool had to be in the box. There was a note in the box that said everything was from Josh, Nate and Brent. They would not be able to make the comp but wanted to contribute to it. The box had 3 bad ass braced bending figures made with bent steel. One doing the sweep between the legs, one doing the end of the sweep with a hip pull and one doing the crush. These are so cool. There was also a grip training implement with the shiny ball to grab. It is made very well and has the number 3 stamped on the bottom. Also, a wrapped up item that said it was for the “Mrs” That had a really nice flower made with steel. My wife and daughters love it and the daughters have kind of taken that over. Josh does a great job of designing and making things with steel. Very generous. I am just blown away by this unexpected package. I am deciding how to best utilize everything for the contest. Thanks so much guys! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) For the spike bend event, we are going to use spikes from Lowe’s. The 8” spikes are mutants. Probably will mainly use the 10” and 12”. Edited April 21, 2019 by Donc101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Don - A couple more questions ... * For the reverse bends, are the graded bolts going to be 6"? And are the bolt heads going to be on or cut off? * On the braced steel snap, what type of wraps are going to be used? Thanks, Carl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHWOG wraps for snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 I am changing the reverse bend to be a 30 second time limit. That is the limit DHWOG uses. That way, we can get bends done at the comp added to his lists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
