Tom Scibelli Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Awesome job EJ! Do you feel like bending 8" stock gives good carryover to 7" stock?

EJ Livesey Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Awesome job EJ! Do you feel like bending 8" stock gives good carryover to 7" stock?The carryover is there, for sure, but it's not that good. By this I mean I've adapted my DO technique to accomdate the 8 3/8" stock. The pressure points and fulcrume points are different. However I have learned how to generate more force and apply it better to bars in general. With 7" stuff I am able to get the bar up higher but the biceps get in the way a little more. So it's a toss up. In general for me there is some carry over, but not as much as I hoped for. The carry over for 7" to 8" is non-existant. Awesome bends!Thanks for checking them out. I appreciate it. 1 Quote Junior steel bender in training The only limits are the ones YOU set.
