Another Unbraced Session Today

[wscorpion]

Had a nice session today. I've bent:

- 4mm x 25mm x 254mm (approx. 5/32" x 1" x 10"), this went down very easy.

- 4mm x 25mm x 198mm (approx. 5/32" x 1" x 8"), still quite easy, got this on video.

- 5/16" x 7" threaded stainless, also quite easy

- 5/16" x 6" threaded stainless, a bit harder, but still quite easy, also put this on video.

This was my first encounter with stainless, and I feel this stuff is a bit more springy then a normal bar.

after that:

- 5.5" x 8mm CRS

This one was from a new rod and much harder then the previous one. I barely got it under 2" in approx. 4 minutes. The previous ones were about the same strength as a Red (new red) from the same length.

So this one is harder, so a nice bar to improve my strength for the 5.5" red which I will take down under 2 minutes on video soon for certification.

I only have 2 reds left, so I have to be sure I can take within 2 minutes before trying to bend it

All in all a nice session, probably will cut the stainless to 5.5" soon and put it on vid as well.

I still need some banking info from John before I can place my order with FBBC, but it will definitely contain the stainless bars

Thanks guys!

Gazza, where do you find all that stainless steel?

I've been searching for stainless stock for weeks now, and still haven't found any supplier which sells stainless rods
