John Beatty Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Went out into the garage last night & as I've been doing for the last week or two, grabbed a 6" piece of 3/16 & bent it. Then just to see if I'd made any progress, grabbed a 7" piece of 1/4 CRS fron the FBBC stockpile for the Bender's bags. Wrapped it up & fairly quickly bent it/crushed it down. First time I've done it unbraced. Then, as I was feeling pretty good, I grabbed a 7" piece of 5/16 round. Got it warped, but that's as far as it would go. Quote I like heavy things.

tmmicklabs Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Great job. Are you sure your a beginner ? ha ha Quote
JeffPeterson Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 That's good. I've tried the FBBC steel stock, it's the real deal. Quote
John Beatty Posted April 14, 2004 Author Posted April 14, 2004 Thanks guys! Played a bit today, did a 5" piece of 3/16 square & another 1/4 x 7 round. Both very quick. This bending stuff IS addictive. Still couldn't do anything to the 5/16" round. Quote I like heavy things.

SqeezeMasterFlash Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 If I were you I'd leave that 5/16" alone until you get to some shorter 1/4". The gap between 1/4" and 5/16" is really big. Quote Dwell not upon your weariness, for your strength shall be according to the measure of your desire. Jeff Ford
John Beatty Posted April 17, 2004 Author Posted April 17, 2004 I didn't realize the 5/6" x 7" was the red. I just thought I could go right to it. Did kink it, but it wasn't going too far. I'm going to work some shorted 1/4's next week after my hands heal. Quote I like heavy things.
