Lyle Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 as some of you may have read I bought some 5/16HRS the other day and cut it into 7" lengths, tonight "at work" I did my grippers, some narrow grip pinching, then to my new favorite Bending, warmed up with some easy nails and a piece of 1/4 X 7". then onto my new test, I told myself at first I'd be happy with a 10-20'bend, so I wrapped it, started DU and gave it my all, it bent 15-20' I set it down satisfied, then for some unknown reason I grabbed it again DU gave it hell, "it bent more" switched to DO and crush it to 1 1/4". I was so happy I bent a 6x1/4" and broke a couple nails.....gotta love bending. I'll try to get a pic online in the next couple of days.

mmainlands Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Excellent progress, you made a fast jump from 1/4" to 5/16"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Awesome Lyle, especially after you let it cool a bit and then decided it was all it the mind and needed bending. Plus going after a 6 x 1/4 then broke nails you made man. It is amazing what the body can do when the endorphins and adrenaline kick into overdrive, it's kinda like those mothers that pick up a car and pulled their pinned child out of harms way. Again Great Personal Achievement My Friend! You have motivated me to the max. Don't be surprised if you see a post from me real, real soon.

stew2 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Great job! I've been trying to get 5/16 CRS 8" to practice for the red but can only get a good kink. How much difference between CRS and HRS if any maybe I should try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 Thanks y'all, I couldn't get a pic today, my daughter has the camera "somewhere" but I'm gonna try another piece tomorrow so I'll know it wasn't a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 You can do it Lyle! Ihave much more faith in you than that steel. I am betting my two nickles, a cat's eye marble and a handful of slightly used nails are on the Lyle man. Any takers? I thought so we all know Lyle will win hands down or should I say Double Overhand down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Great job, Lyle! I feel your excitement and pride beaming through this computer screen, and love it! It's really cool when you first bend a piece of 5/16" steel after training long and hard with only 1/4" steel, isn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 It's very cool to bend the first piece, so cool I laid awake last night thinking about tonights attempt. It's all I can think about now, I think bending the 5/16" is more satisfying than my first #3 close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
