AdamTGlass Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 As Paul stated to me, the kink is harder than an Edgin, but the crush does not ramp up as much. Thanks for the bars Paul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsipes Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Great bend! That is a HUGE piece of steel!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Awesome bend Adam! Wondered where you had been, as I haven't seen you posting here in a while. I see a KOAB before the year is out for you my friend. This really makes me wish I could get a 7'' bar up that high, as I would love to be killing the big dia. stuff, but my flexibility only allows 6'' at best!! Oh well, I guess we all got our own niche, huh? Great job man, I look forward to seeing more top level bending from you. Congrats brother!! :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim71 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Great job! Is that the 12L14 steel? I have some but it's over my head right now. I did brace bend a piece and it's stout steel but I like the way it bends. Stellar job! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats brother!! :rock Foxman good to hear from you brother. my shoulder flexibility has made huge improvements from the stuff i have been working, not pulling a 7" bar is no problem. For an easier bar like a hex or shiny i can pull them up to inside of my jaw line under my neck. For the KOAB, I can kink them consistantly, and i can crush them. its the sweep thats kicking me in the pants. I will call out Holloween; by than i will have a few bent. Also i tried out this "modified DU" you and Ben have been showing, very nice addition for my wrist work. You two have been KILLING it with these insane and fantastic bars. outstanding work.

I have wobbled a 5''er, that's it! I took the 3/8''steelworks much farther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTGlass Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Teddy I dont know what they cal out to. I know i bought them from John B. in March of this year, so maybe he pulled them from the "old" stock or maybe they are the super tough ones. Looking at Acorns incredible progress through the bars, i suppose the next logical step is the big grade 8's at 7". I need to order some from Fastenal this coming week and see how it goes. I understand the spring on those bars is insane, so it should be the kicker to get my Sweep up to par with my kink strength How is school? Did you start yet?

Tim71 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Great job! I can't wait to be able to bend that steel. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I've already notified Adam via PM, but there was some confusion as to which exact bar was being bent. As it turns out, the bar Adam did came from a length of steel that calibrated at 560. But that's still an awesome bend, Adam! And I'm sorry about the confusion, Adam.

Paul Knight Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Good Job Adam! and sorry to you and Teddy about the poundage - the bars are from the same place where Mike got them and they ccal'ed @ 595 before, but I guess its just like any other stock - it varies for the record your two pieces and Teddy's two pieces and the piece that was calibrated all came from the same length of 4' bar - what I'm gonna do is go on a hunt for some 590-600 bars, have them calibrated this time before I send them so that you guys can smash those too and move up the list - Both of you had alot more in you - I could tell from ya'll video's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
