Oh yeah. Few bends are as memorable to me as my first 60d bend. I was stoked after that like no other bend just about.

Keep it always because one day it will be neat to look back on when you're killing reds and beyond.

Great job!

Congratulations. Like all the guys before me have said, that first 60d is a keeper. In my case, my father is disabled, so after he witnessed the bend, he wanted that nail as a reminder to never give up.

Maybe this is just me, but I doubt it, I must warn that after that first 60d is destroyed, there will be a lot of temptation to keep bending and bending till you can't bend anymore, to see where your true limit is before you've begun to master your technique. I got so charged up after bending my first 60d that I destroyed 20 or 30 within the next day or so, hurting my hands to the point where I had to take a break for 2 or 3 weeks. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I just don't want anybody else making the same mistakes.

Anyways, once again, great job.

Thanks evryone for your good comments, brad i know exactly what you mean,earlier in the year i had messed up my elbow pretty bad reverse bending,which i hardly do anymore.i am pretty good about pacing myself,the 60d,s are cool but i really want to get the 5 inch drill rod done,so far i have got it past 90 degrees but the legs are at 3 inches,it is a very hard crush for me,but it is getting better every week.2 weeks ago i could only warp the 60d.more 60d's will go but i will pace myself. thank you for your advice.

Charlie.
