Anthony C. Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Couple bending pr's that I thought I'd share. First one is a red nail in single imp's bent in just over a minute. That cert is mine!!!! Second is my attempt at a shiny bastard in double imp's. If anyone has a problem with profanity, please turn off the sound lol https://youtu.be/Hq9L2rfOa9kk Here is a pic of the shiny attempted today vs the first shiny I tried about a month and a half ago. Getting better guys! Edited October 4, 2015 by Anthony C. 12 Quote

Mike Sharkey Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Strong work. After the first few hits you might want to move the wraps up the steel a bit for better leverage. 1 Quote
king crusher Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Good work Anthony. Strong work. After the first few hits you might want to move the wraps up the steel a bit for better leverage. You know ive never tried this. Does it help a lot? 1 Quote

Anthony C. Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Thank you gentlemen, I really appreciate the support and the advice. I have been experimenting with moving the wraps up, but to be honest I sort of forgot about that during this bend in an attempt to get it under the minute mark. Next time I'll be more aware of my technique rather than just muscling it out. I was also able to finish the crush on a piece of 5/16 drill rod I had stuck at 3'' for forever and was doing isos on. Didn't think I had anything left in the tank but I moved it the last inch yesterday. Now, rest, ice, and tiger balm! 1 Quote
