Arne Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 (edited) Yesterday was my "officialy" closing day. Mikael Siversson was Iron Minds witness. I closed the CoC#3 gripper succesfully and held it closed for several seconds. I start the closing with the handles wide apart (the new rules). I'll try to get some good pictures next week.

amaury Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 (edited) "And, what does with "handles wide apart" mean?" I think it may be what i do with the grippers: only holding the SPRING with my left hand* at the very beginning of the close. My closing hand thus do all the "sweep" work. Anyway, congrats Arne ! Amaury. *When i close it with my right hand of course Edited February 15, 2003 by amaury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 One suspects that there will be no problem but if a picture is not foethcoming can I hear the key being inserted to 'lock' the post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Sometimes the whole subject of grippers becomes a litte too serious. All I want to do is close a gripper that I cannot as yet close, or close more easily one that I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mikael Siversson Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 They were not that wide apart. The close was however well within the new IronMind rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
