I load a truck at 4 am, and then I hit the road. Usually around 8 fridges a day+ other things. I carry them upstairs and other places with a partner. It gets rather taxing throughout the week. Good money though. I would say in a day I love a good 30 appliances total 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennix Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 So started with braced bending this weekend. Managed a 51cm 12mm rebar and a 12" 12mm HRS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Bent a 16mm x 15”. Making the shortest ever 16 or 5/8” ever bent. A few weeks ago I also bent a 15mm x 14”. I have it on video but I think I can get it at 13”. I did in fact bend one at 13” but misjudged the time and went over the 5 minute time mark with a few seconds. The plan is to work through every thickness I can find and workmy way down to as short as I can. And also bend some rated bars from Horne. I might be biting off more than I can chew but I’m hoping I can go over 300k with the mid length bars. Long bars I’m a bit rusty. But I still think my old bends of 20mm stock is near the top level that guys are doing today, maybe even a little over. The 20mm stock I bent back then were significantly harder than some of the other 20mm hrs I’ve felt. And I worked down to 33-34” with that particular stock. But like I said, I’m a bit rusty with the long bars and since the technique for parts of the sweep is different than for short and mid bars, I’ll probably not be so strong from the start without putting in some specialized training for that specific length. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the only thing that bothered me was the time it took to bend, my first hit got 20°, and I was so beat after that it took a while. I still need some technique work for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
