Donc101 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I bent the hardest Russian Iron Grip Braced bar I have today. @Ivan Beritashvili It is a 265 bar that is 12” x 11mm of hard cold rolled steel. These are nice bars. It’s a shame the company is not around anymore. Here is the video: Edited December 24, 2020 by Donc101 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Here are 2 cert videos from training today. FBBC DO 3/8 x 6” grade 2 Bolt DHWOG 20mm x 47” braced bend. This was a tough batch of 20mm, tough on the kink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Here is a new scroll I bent today to honor Marcel Bruin’s son, Collin who passed away at a young age. Marcel honors his son on his birthday every year with a big feat. On the Steel Shredder group he asked others to join in. I scrolled this 3/8 square x 10 foot bar today. I call the scroll: “Collin’s Challenge”. Here is a pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 The Beyond the Bend podcast weekly challenge is to bend something not in normal wraps. I bent a red nail rolled down the middle of an old dish towel. @EricMilfeldwhen people bent in rags and towels back in the day, would they roll it down the middle or one on each side like we do pads now? Thanks. Here is video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular batch of steel is the hardest I have bent for long bars. Brutal on the kink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 I bent a Headless Goliath cut to 36” long flat bar today! Very fun bend! Here is video: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 This was a big boy to wrestle with. Widest bar I have ever bent. Hard to hold onto. 3/8” x 2.5” x 48” flat bar braced bend. Here is a video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Good training day. I had a PR on that really tough batch of DHWOG 20mm steel doing a 43” bar. Very hard on the kink. Way off center because I had to kink with the bar between the legs method. Also, did a 5/8” double fish scroll. I had never done a double fish with steel that thick. Essentially making a 5/8 spring that pushes back against you. Here is some video and pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Very happy with this bend of a 3/8” x 2.5” x 48” long flat bar. When I did it for the first time last week it took about 15 minutes. I cut the time down to 5 minutes today. Video: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 3/4 x 38” A36 Bend. I had not done 3/4 in awhile. This felt good. I will try shorter next week. Video: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce1337 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 12x350mm (1/2" x 13.75") HRS braced. A PR on braced bars for me. I think I need to find thicker steel now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 3/4” x 36” long bar bend for the top spot on David Horne’s old braced 3/4 list! There have been European 20mm bars bent shorter but no US A36 3/4” bars shorter on the list. Happy with this one. Video: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
