Alawadhi Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) It was 6.75". Well done Keep hitting the steel and make her cry Edit:- Saw the vid. Easy AND off-center I am pretty sure the kink was your hardest part, right? I feel every sq have the hardest kink. I haven't tried the stainless sq yet.

I haven't tried the stainless sq yet. yep, i'm not so good at the kink, something i'm working on at the moment. I find it difficult to get a good position.

Brad Manion Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Great job on the video. Nice bending too. I thought the kink went okay. Probably it's from my having a heavy build, but I find I have to start the kink (first 10 to 20 degrees) really low on my chest, and as I get through those first few degrees, THEN I have to hold the steel a little higher to get the majority of the bend. Once again, congratulations Edited May 22, 2007 by Brad Manion Quote
