David Horne Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 19 Feb 07 Elizabeth Horne's training 1. Bent a FBBC 1/4" x 6" Reverse style to 56 degrees in the 30 secs. 2. Bent a 8mm x 6.5" HRS 212.5k Challenge bar Reverse style to 42 degrees, and finished DO in under 2 mins. This was Elizabeth's first reverse style bending for a very long time. All she had done in the meantime was use the Bending Machine and bend Double Overhand. This was the first time Elizabeth had bent 8mm stock, never mind reverse it!

Bob Lipinski Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Allright, I did not give up on this. Got a 5" grade 5 to 30 degrees. Might make another go at it later in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Bob, You'll get it soon. Bigger hits to start with, done quickly should get you through to the 40 degrees. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Got a 6" G5 to 50 degrees. I know, not that great, but I'm content with it being my first real reverse bending session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 20 Feb 07 1. Bent a 6.5" x 8mm bar from my friend to 20 degrees. This steel felt a little tougher than a Bastard bar of the same length. Also did my first presses today. A Mighty 3 sets of 10 with the olympic bar - woohoo!

FrankyBoy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Damn, actually I just wanted to bust Johns balls a bit with the idea to do a G8 non-DO. But that guy just bent that thing reverse first try. I feel offended! Serious John: Well done, that puts the things into perspective for me.

David Horne Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Last bending session before Saturdays attempt at the 6.5" FBBC Bastard Bar at Gloucester. 22 Feb 07 1. Bent a 6" x 8mm bar from my friend to 9 degrees. This steel is a little tougher than a Bastard bar of the same length. This should stand me in good stead for a weaker, longer bar on saturday.

John Beatty Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Got a 1/4" x 7" square yesterday. First attempt massively off center (like an inch or more), but started moving, so wrapped up another & tried again with better hand position & it went. Very hard.

jimwylie1 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Excellent John. I tried one of those that David had and managed about 20 degrees. That's a harder bend than a grade 8, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
