Justin Reagan Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Got it DO. I also got the red to about 20 deg or so--hopefully I'll finish it next time. I finished a red from about 35 deg, though. It's that few degrees in between getting me. Also, the drill rod and the pre-kinked red were both almost a half inch off center. I would do a little better if I would just stop bending off center.

ox3782 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Great Bend Justin!!! ?for you did you do the drillrod first or the red attempt because if I understand right The drillrod is harder than any Red or Bastard by about 20#.I am just suprised that you didnt get the red done before getting the drillrod is all.Great bend you are strong!!!

Justin Reagan Posted June 4, 2007 Author Posted June 4, 2007 I think (late last night...) I started to do the red first, but then ended up doing the drill rod (because, if I can do the drill rod, then the red and fbbc must be a mental thing) Anyway, I think I'll get the red next time. Hopefully, that is! Thanks, Justin Quote
Tim71 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Justin, The O-1 drill rod cal'd at 475 and has a tougher crush than the reds and the bastards so you should be good to go. Great Job! Tim Edited June 4, 2007 by Tim T Quote
Justin Reagan Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until the ripped skin in my palm and on the inside of my middle fingers heals up... The workout where I bent the drill rod, I only put a little bit of tape around my middle fingers to protect the torn places...needless to say, my fingers (and my palms) aren't very happy right now. Maybe I should just let them heal! Justin Quote
Tim71 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I'm in the same boat with you buddy! I need to let a few raw skin places heal right now, it's just so hard with the steel calling. Rest up and you'll get it! Tim Quote

bencrush Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Nice bending Justin. That 5/16" Drill Rod gets obscene around 5.5". Quote
ObsceneJester Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Nice bending Justin. That 5/16" Drill Rod gets obscene around 5.5". Someone say my name? Great job Justin that 5/16 is ridiculous, especially on that crush Quote Name: Rob H
Justin Reagan Posted June 8, 2007 Author Posted June 8, 2007 Nevermind on this one...the drill rod is WAY harder after the first few degrees, but apparently not as hard on the kink...can't quite kink my new reds enough to finish them. If I cheat the red (or fbbc) to about 30 or 35 deg, I can finish it way easier than the drill rod, but I can't get it there (YET). I apparently got some drill rod that is easy (relatively...) on the kink...oh well... Justin Quote
JNEL582 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 nice bends keep up the good work im sure we will be seeing a post on the reds and fbbc's soon Quote
Justin Reagan Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 I read a post from a month or two ago that said that sometimes the drill rod can be "slightly" easier on the initial kink than hard CRS--so maybe it's not so strange if I have some hard reds.... Justin Quote
ox3782 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I would say thats right on Justin I bent 5/16x7" O-1 Drillrod yesterday and the Bastard definaley kinked a bit stiffer for sure. But crush was a bit tougher. Brendan Quote Brendan Dwyer | 6'1" | 204lbs | 7 7/8 inch hand
Justin Reagan Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 So maybe I did bend "real" drill rod, rather than easy stuff. Justin Quote
