Bending

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Failed again on the 7 inch .290. Getting pretty sick of failing on this. Next time I'll have to go all out and see if I can finish it.
