Anthony C. Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hey all, I finally did it! http://ironmind.com/news/Anthony-Clarino-Certifies-on-the-IronMind-Red-Nail/ Wanna give a huge thank you to all of you. I really could never have achieved this without all of your help. My heart is very full in this moment. Also, I wanted to do this thing a la Frank Pizzo style, where you cert the red and then bend something else afterward, so I certed the Big Hexabastard as well. Special thanks to Chez for being my ref, and John Manna for coming through to support! 20 Quote
