matthcarl Posted February 27, 2008 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 Name: Matt Carl Runner, Graphomaniac, Steel Bending Fiend

matthcarl Posted February 27, 2008 Author 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 Name: Matt Carl Runner, Graphomaniac, Steel Bending Fiend

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. Quote
vikingsrule92 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Great bend Matt!!! Matt, if Gazza can't bend it neither will Jeremiah Quote
Alawadhi Posted February 27, 2008 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 Read about me in my biography.

big nasty Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Good job Matt I knew you had it!!!! Quote '' KETTLEBELL'S MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU '' '' JUST A LITTLE FISH IN A BIG POND ''
matthcarl Posted February 27, 2008 Author 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 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
gazza Posted February 28, 2008 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. It will be a piece of cake for Jeremiah and the boyz Quote "There he goes. One of gods own prototypes.
