matthcarl Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) I was hoping to be one of the first five to cert on the golden bastard, but the rest of you clowns were just too fast . Anyway, I gave it another shot today and killed it. Lots of fun, despite the painful and boring video: Golden Bastard Edited February 27, 2008 by The Writer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthcarl Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks guys. Jeremiah, I have a feeling the brass wouldn't be much of a challenge. You probably need to start at Mag level. Or 1/2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks guys. Jeremiah, I have a feeling the brass wouldn't be much of a challenge. You probably need to start at Mag level. Or 1/2". Great job Matt! Way to keep fighting for it and still get it done. I agree with you about Fox. He'll need to start at the Mag level I think.

vikingsrule92 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Great bend Matt!!! Matt, if Gazza can't bend it neither will Jeremiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I remember Gazza saying he did bend one. I don't know if it was in one session. But am sure he did put one to two inches. Heck he move 7/16*7" STAINLESS to aroung 60 degrees in 20 minutes (I think it's the one Aaron sent him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, ok I never heard that, I just saw the 7/16" brass bend. Well still it's over 1000 pounds .....

matthcarl Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Looked easy down to the crush. Keep it up buddy! Thanks. Yeah, Of the 4:45 it took me to bend it, I think 4:30 was the crush. My weak area is pretty obvious. I still can't get over how hard the last bit is. It was already under 2.5" before I measured it the first time. Derek, Gazza said he bent 1/2 brass from a supplier in the UK, which he says was probably easier than John's stock. Which makes it merely superhuman.

vikingsrule92 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Don't worry Matt that brass crush is pretty damn stiff, not a big deal that it took you a lot fo time to get it under 2". Oh ok, just superhuman huh? Sheesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Matt congrats on the golden The 7/16 and 1/2 inch brass i did manage to kill some a few times i failed as well its tough to crush i have bent harder stuff but i wasnt always at the top of my game.
