twig Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 ...and the difference in quality between the stuff in here and the stuff you get from IM is IMMENSE! John is an absolute star. Got some pads as well, they've been caked in chalk and rolled up real tight to season, come January the first I'm gonna be a bender! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twig Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 What order should I be bending this stuff in? All I've ever bent is round stock, so I know where I am with that, but where do the bolts, square and others fit in in the grand scheme of things? Can someone list the FBBC:ABB in order of difficulty? P.S. I've read the calibration thread, but it's a bit cryptic...either that or I'm thick! I need it spelling out for me. Already decided I'm gonna heartshape a horseshoe on 01.01.09; prob won't get a vid, but will get a photo of how I did, whether I get it or diinae.

matthcarl Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If you've bent a blue nail in IM pads, the Grade 5 bolts shouldn't be too hard. Beyond that is the G8,5/16" Grade 2's, 1/4" square, then the bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well, today I did2X7" 2X6" 2X5.5" and 2X5" all of the 1/4" diameter stock. Tried a 7"X5/16 (that's a Bastard, right?) but it just laughed at me, either I was fried or the leap from 5"X1/4 is bigger than it looks. I've got a blister on my palm, my index fingers are sore and feel like they want to drop out cos I use them as cantilevers, and I've a weird niggle at the front of each shoulder. Worth it tho.

Booyah!!! Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Awesome first bending Twig!!! Did you try the grd5 bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Nice bending, as Matt said, though I'd put the 5/16" G2 after the square, depends on the bolt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timiacobucci Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Nice work man, cool to see you on board the bending train. Did you end up going for the shoe or any other braced stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
