bencrush Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I finally get to report some good bends worthy of the training I've been doing. Bent not 1 but 2 Bastards tonight reverse! First one was out in the garage after work. No camera. 8 seconds to 55 degrees. Then I got wise and filmed the next one with the calipers and measuring and all that. That one was much harder, 45 degrees in 11 seconds. Reverse and pinch are (were) 2 of my very weak points, so it's nice to cross one off the list now. A Bastard should at least be midpack even if everyone else makes big strides...and that's assuming that I stay at the Bastard level, which isn't too likely. BIG thanks to Acorn. I guarantee I wouldn't be doing this without his personalized help. Thanks to Brad Manion, he knows why. Thanks to the Diesel Crew. The Bastard video is quite large, but I'll try to upload it to YouTube anyway. It's not fast or anything, and no screaming, so it might bore most to tears. But it'll be good enough to climb the list a bit. Until I get another better one on tape I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wscorpion Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Got a bastard to 16 degrees today even though my hands are really overtrained (I can hardly close the #2 now) I'm going to take a week or so off now, hopefully I will be able to take it down completely after that week Edited November 11, 2007 by White Scorpion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate it, and I'm glad we can be civil. I'll do my part too.Got a bastard to 16 degrees today even though my hands are really overtrained (I can hardly close the #2 now)I'm going to take a week or so off now, hopefully I will be able to take it down completely after that week Awesome work Mark! You'll probably get it next time then. Fantastic progress. It's hard to take a week off from any kind of bending. I've got something neat planned for Friday. But it requires that I rest a full week.

Thanks Ben! Can't wait to see what you've planned to bend And yes, it's hard to take a full week off of everything. Normally I work my hands every day for about an hour. Now I have time to kill for a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
