Bending progress

Managed to bend my first ever 8d piece of steel!

A grade 8 14,5cm/8d bolt! That was the hardest stuff i have bent so far, extremely hard!

Also another one personal best for me was the bending of 2 x 6d/16cm steel nails tied together!

And a 6d/18cm steel nail in the end for technique work.

 

How long has it take to you guys to move from a 6d nail to a 8d one? Recently i tried to bend my first ever 8d/19cm rod and was surprisingly disappointed! Managed to bend overhand this beast for only a few degrees....even if the 6d rods or nails are freakin' easy to handle the 8d rod is a total failure for me...any suggestions?

Be careful with the fully threaded stuff. It tends to snap often.
