Tim71 Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I've been out of town all day but when I came home there was a package sitting on my doorstep. It was my order from FBBC which was here in good time and I have nothing but good things to say about the order. I will be ordering again and pretty darn soon actually. Anyway, It was really late and I was quite tired but I couldn't resist trying the legendary bastard bar so I slapped a couple loose wraps around it and kinked it pretty good after a couple hits no warmup and didn't feel like an especially energetic day. Well, I decided for once I was going to take my time and really wrap it up tight and I actually put 2 pieces of leather since mine has so many holes and my hands are kinda beat after the wrenches the other day. I gave it a 100% effort and I mean this time I smoked through the first 45 degrees. Actually it stunned me so much that I paused and let the steel set. Don't worry though I got it going again and all the way down to under 2 inches. Pic in my gallery. This is a big milestone for me since my unbraced bending was lacking. I plan on making a video and certifying first chance I get. Now I wished I'd ordered some 6.5 inchers since those went so good. If I'd started with a good wrap I know I could've got it in 30 seconds on a good day. All my bending really seems to be coming together lately. Next off I tried a #1 diamond classic horseshoe that I found at a store today and I bent it. I'd been having trouble with the horseshoes but I guess that's coming around too. Don't know for sure where that particular shoe rates but I'd say it's a decent one anyway. Boy it's been a good week thank God. Got my 80d, the bastard, 4 different brands of tough wrenches, and the #1 horseshoe. Thanks, Tim Quote

Tim71 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks! Yeah I kinda had a jump here in the past week or so. Came together nicely and hopefully it'll stay that way. You'll get it real soon. I'm taking a rest right now too because my great week has also left me greatly sore and some kind of weird pain in one of my fingers. To me having to lay off is the hardest thing to do. Tim Quote
