Tried My Luck At Reverse Bending Today

[GatorGrip]

I tried my luck at Reverse Bending today which is not my forte but hey it sounded like fun and you got to diversify to keep things interesting right.

Well here is my first official Reverse Bend and of course feedback on technique & form is always welcome, especially since I am a newbie at this style.

Marvelous bending Walter! Awesome power and strength man...nice FIRST reverse bend.

Not that i'm an expert at all on bending, but i do quite a bit of reverse and i find (in my opinion) that it makes the bend more solid if you keep your hands a bit closer together instead of out near the ends of the steel.

only my opinion though

really nice reverse bend Walter - like it!!

[jaccord]

Great bending!

[neilkaz]

Walter...your upper body strength and wrist strength is awesome. This is only the beginning and you'll have the best in the world here guiding you to at least a FBBC Bastard Reverse.

..keep going... neilkaz ...

Well done

Was it the sq or the round? anyway good job on your first bend!!!

[makey98]

What did you bend Gator? Youtube doesn't work on my computer for some reason....just says "loading" forever. I miss the days before youtube took over the world and people had vids in their gallery....... anyway, nice work, whatever it was. I have been reverse bending for a couple weeks/months and I finally got some 1/4 CRS which is pretty good from where I started. Good luck!!!

Thank you very much for all the motivating words and encouragement.

For those who can't gain access to the video it was just a piece of FBBC 7" x 1/4" Stainless Square stock.bent to about 90 degrees in 30 seconds or less.

just a piece of 1/4" stainless square?!? nice! i thought it was round stock first time watching the vid

i only managed the 1/4" round stainless the other day reverse, that square must be tough.

Nice 1st Reverse bend KEL move your hands closer together especially on the squire stuff as it has a tendency to want to twist out of your grip.
