cabertosser Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I finally killed a red.It took under 2 minutes and about five good hits for it to go down.2 on the kink.1 on the sweep and 2 on the crush down.I started with 10 60d's,9 1/4x6crs,2 grade 5 1/4x6,1 5/16x6.5crs,then I hit the red.I had a few carriage bolts I took a wack at.I got a 3/8-16x8 grade 2 carriage bolt.Then a 3/8-16x6 grade 2 carriage bolt.Then a 3/8x7 aluminum.Then I did 2 1/4x6 crs at one time.The red and carriage bolts were PR's and so was the double 1/4x6.What a great day of bending.

Great progress - you'll be a Bastard before you know it Quote When people used to ask him how it was he became so incredibly strong, it was always the same, "strengthen your mind, the rest will follow". The Mighty Atom Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul. Being prepared for any random task is not the same thing as preparing randomly for any task. Greg Everett

cabertosser Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 I used a piece of leather from the craft store that measures about 8.5x12 then folded in half to make a 4.25x12 piece.Ben Edwards and John Eaton kept giving me shit about my wraps because they were so loose.I just order a piece of leather from tandy and am going to make a new set that I can wrap real tight and see what I can do.
