MalachiMcMullen Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yes indeed. That is Sonny Barry(duh). He's over in Jersey isn't he? Friends with Greg Matonick(the guy who bends quarters and horeshoes with his teeth) I think Ricchezza can chime in here because I think he knows him.

foxyj75 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I remember seeing him in the newsletter that got passed out at Gripmas. I believe it showed him and Pat, Matonick, and some other guys doing some feats at an oldetime strongman dinner. I have stumbled upon his youtube vids too.

Paul Knight Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 If you watch his vids on his site - he bends a 6" x 3/8" carriage bolt DU and it looks like butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossie 308 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yea Sonny is a hell of a guy.Him and Greg Matonick swing by my shop every now and then.Sonny has some crazy wrist strength.Levers a 20lb sledge like nothing.I believe hes like 64 now. If i have half his strength in my 60s ill be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timiacobucci Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If you watch his vids on his site - he bends a 6" x 3/8" carriage bolt DU and it looks like butter This guy looks strong as hell, I would love to see that board break he does. But that carriage bolt is threaded too. Still a very strong bend in that style, but about equal to a 5/16" g2. Again, not taking anything away from him, but those are not like the 3/8" bolts you have bent Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not taking anything away from him, but those are not like the 3/8" bolts you have bent Paul. Ive bent them carriage bolts myself and its definetly harder than a G2 but easier than a huge bastard.Sonny is a true old timer.Less than a year ago he was still bending in shop rags.The suede wraps he now uses are very thin.I tried to get him to bend with fat wraps to see what damage he can do but he wont touch em........
