Well done, for sure! Felt extremely soft and it was done in single imps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden Majensky Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 7"x7/16 fully threaded. This felt a lot like a big grade 2. The only thing that made it a little easier was that I could get a nice tight wrap on both sides. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a partially threaded bolt snap at the threads on me a week or so ago and I'd hate to see you get a bolt to the throat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even cut myself trying to double overhand a flat wrench and cut my neck. But yeah I wouldn't exactly recommend bending threaded stock to anybody. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truman Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hey Guys! I'm finally back at it. Started last week with a Red Nail - Replica in double Pads (IMPs + selfmade suede pads) which - to my own surprise - went down super easy. Yesterday i bend two of them. My goal for now is to get used to the double Pads and add volume each session until i'm at 10 of those 8mm/7" CRS bars in reasonable time as prep for a 9mm/7" CRS bar. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrido Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Daniel is back in the game! Very happy with this. Good things will happen soon. Germany is back on track with Martin, Carl, Daniel and Richard. More to come.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Flesher Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I felt very good about today’s session. 7” grade 8 to warm up, two Reds in IMPs, a Bastard in BBWs and a Big Bastard in IMPs. The Big was pretty painfully off center and the crush was much harder than usual. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrido Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Very good session! The off center makes the crush really difficult. So, well done. Can't wait to see you on the red nail list and the journey to higher goals! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinhoo Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Super off center, but I bent my first Bastard nail today in leather wraps. Kink and sweep felt fine but the crush really got me. Ended up cheating the last bit of the crush by bracing my elbow against my leg. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zs242 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Kerckhaert DF 25x10 size 5 horseshoe bend A week ago I started bending big sized shoes again. I have to learn the good shoe placement again, but after few shoes it will be ok. I hope 25x10 size 4 will come soon. Bend starts around 3:10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 FBBC 9/32×7" crs in one ironmind pad, not as bad as I thought it would be, but not exactly a pleasant experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 To all of those who are relatively new to this sport, here is a personal story as words of encouragement. When I started bending I was 14 years old and I'm almost certain my first bend was 3/16"x7" round. The 3/16" Square CRS was too much for me at that point. Slowly I got that, then my first 60d, then first G5, etc etc until slowly I got some pretty solid bends like a grand shiny and an Edgin. It takes hard work but always compare yourself to how strong you were yesterday, not to people that have been doing this for north of a decade. Hahaha. Keep on slaying steel y'all! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate this man. I saw your World Class Bends post and thought "dang, that's such a long way off for me". But in all fairness, you've been doing this for way, way longer than I have. So yeah, it might just take time. Edited May 20, 2020 by devinhoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrido Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) After some fails on big bends the last two weeks I made set back on hard bends. Some solid bends yesterday and after all I did a one IMP bend as above, because there are still some one IMP goals out there for me. Thougt this bolt feels harder, but was ok. Next week is the time for some hard double bends, I guess. Edited May 21, 2020 by Horrido 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bend Jan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrido Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks Don. This bolt is a little bit harder than a red nail. But I tought it would be harder. The A2 bolt is more harder and it's going down the next time, I think. These bolts are available soon in a new bending project. Stay tuned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Lehtimäki Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nice to see many new benders here! Rehab going well and I start to like this hobby again. Just for fun nowdays and no big goals. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrido Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yesterday… Found a huge duke which was sent to me by Zsolt, some months ago along with some other FBBC bars. So I tried it with doubles and was very easy thought the duke was harder. Should have done it in IMP´s. But it´s a bend. Then I tried a CRS Square 8mm x 5,5". Failed this one three times before. So this time I got it. Unfortunatley not in the 5 minute time frame, but I am happy with it. The two videos: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrido Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 @Juha Lehtimäki thanks buddy. I know that you also bent thick and very short bars. @Tommy J. Thanks man! Great to hear this! This Square batch is a regular one. Not the hardest but also not an easy one. @Martin Kotte can confirm this batch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Young Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 6" by 5/16" cold rolled steel 12L14 hex done in IMPs only. Bent it way off center 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Tried my first Huge Bastard yesterday. Got it in just over 5min. Very surprised at how intense the crush was compared to a regular Bastard. I'll try it again soon and hopefully I can do it within the time limit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truman Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, prep goes well an i tried a FBBC Bastard in IMPs yesterday. As @Horrido predicted a few days earlier it went down pretty good. Edited June 1, 2020 by Truman 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
