Bending

[JeffPeterson]

I wanted to start a log as a way to discipline myself to write down my progress. I wouldn't do it otherwise. I bent 60D's consistently 2 weeks ago. My first WO here is a week after I accomplished the 60's.

Good to see that you're keeping a log Jeff.

[tmmicklabs]

Great workout Jeff.

Keep it up.

[austinslater]

Jeff looking forward to the log. I put mine up for the same reason. Good luck!

[JeffPeterson]

Thanks. I think I'm going to add something to my log. I will call out my next bend before it happens. Example On Sunday I'm going to bend 1 7 inch 19/64 piece If I can get one from Dave.

[JeffPeterson]

Bending didn't feel good today so i did volume instead.

Congrats on the 8! It wont be long for the red to follow suit.

[David Ostlund]

Looks like we'll need to get some 19/64" drill rod for this weekend Jeff.

[JeffPeterson]

Yeah I'd love to try some. I might have to place in order at McMaster-Carr.
