Dude Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 What are the dimensions on the IM nails, like length, thickness, composition, etc.... Basically what would I have to buy at a store to replicate them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thanks for the list man, I'm gonna try and buy a bunch of steel to bend, make my own IM nails to practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 Went to Home Depot today and all they had was HRS. They had all the lengths as listed above to make the IM nails but would using HRS instead of CRS be somewhat close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtime Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Went to Home Depot today and all they had was HRS. They had all the lengths as listed above to make the IM nails but would using HRS instead of CRS be somewhat close? ← there are roomers and what not goin around sayin that the im yellow is 210 to bend and 1/4 7" hrs is only 16 to bend and i highly doubt that is true, untill you can find a steel distributor near you that sells CRS kep using it you want somthing slightly easier startng out anyway.

porky Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 it will make a diff. but u can still start out with HRS and use the same lengths until you get a hold of some CRS. HRS is usually easier than CRS but it varies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNowiski Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think 6" HRS is a little harder than a yellow...but thats just from my experience, of course, my HRS is like mutant HRS, haha. -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Side Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Must be, all the HRS I've used is much easier than CRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 I've been grabbing my bolts and nails from Home Depot lately. I went looking for 1/4" X 6" grade 2 bolts a few days ago. But on the lablel they said zinc plated. Would this be considered zinc plated stock as shown on the steel progression list? It's a bolt, head, threads, etc... I just wasn't sure of it because @ Home Depot they don't give me any help finding different grade bolts. One guy is like "well we only carry higher grade, 5, 8, etc..." Pic is in gallery if you need.

Left Side Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Zinc plated carriage bolts are slightly stronger than their non-zinc counterparts. I'm not exactly sure about how much stronger, but I'd say that a G2 zinc plated would be about a normal G2 + 5-10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Ahh ok thanks. So the zinc stock that is being referred to on the list is just lengths of steel, like the IM nails, etc... Got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just had an idea. Does anyone know if threaded rod is CRS or HRS? I used to do plumbing for a summer job and it comes in all different lengths for hanging pipes. Maybe I could do some work with that?

porky Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 doesnt the threaded rods just nap after u bend them so far? if so be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
