Guest Joske Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 2 days ago, I bended my first 60d!!!!!! I showed a mate a package of small nails I bended. he looked at the package of 60d nails (not bended) and he said, whoa, I bet you have to be damn strong to bend those... I told him I prolly wouldn't bend those nails in the near future.. In 6 months- 1 year, I might have a chance... Well anyway, he left my place, and I looked at the package of nails, I thought, what the heck, let's give it a try... and the unbelievable happend... I BENDED THE DAMN THING! woohoooo!! It felt great!! was like a rush when I started the bend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Good job Joske! An often overlooked aspect of bending is getting the feel for doing it. By bending the small nails you developed that feel and transfered it over to the bigger nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMERHEAD Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Great bend. When I see a 60 penny nail it looks like a railroad spike. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Awsome. Way to go, brother. Just this morning I bought 50 more 60D's from Lowes hardware, that feeling of bending a 60D never goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Joske, great work! I've never tried much in the way of nails, but you have definitely inspired me to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripintime2 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 It's a great feeling when you get the initial 'feel' that you know the bend is going DOWN! It's like a 'pop'; that 'give' in the material and then it's a smile, a squeeze and a bigger smile....and then you know you're going to hit the finish line. No matter what diameter or material it is.....if it's a victory in your next step..it feels real good. Sounds like you are hooked. Great job on the 60d.
