Slider454 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yo guys...shortly after your help in my little Grade 8 thread....I took your advice and cut down a grade 8 bolt to 5.5" and the first initial kink went well....but getting it from the kink to start the crushdown (I call this the middle) was very tough...the crushdown went very well once I got it to where I could get my hands around the sucker!!! I think I can actually get the 5 inch Grade 5 now.....I am going to rest over the weekend and hit another red nail head on on monday and see where I stand!! If it doesnt go down at least I will have a good NEGATIVE bending session lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Congrats, very nice bend. Btw, the 'middle' part is called sweep. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slider454 Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the replys guys....My shoulders and especially my wrists are fried from yesterday.....I must have bent around 15 pieces of steel before the 5.5 grade 8....and I must say it actually feels nice to be sore from bending.....I just realized that I have to start bending more stuff that is alot harder than just doing volume!! Im taking this weekend off and I will try and hit the 5 inche Grade5 and maybe try the red again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
