John Beatty Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 How's this for a form. I take the steel with my left hand overhand. Right hand is more thumb up (about a 90 degree rotation forward from the left). Then extend the left arm almost fully at about a 45 degree angle out at just above shoulder height & crank the steel. I've bent 5.5" x 1/4" Crs & kinked a 7" x 5/16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmainlands Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) I like the crazy and strong style of the old time nail bender on the Pathe archive site, using a 60D unbraced, he would slightly bend it, turn it, bend it again, etc...until it snapped in under 10 seconds! I know from experience how tough it is to fight an existing bend, hold the nail tightly, and get it to bend in a different direction. http://www.britishpathe.com/product_displa...rchfilm=weights That is the link, look for the fouth video up from the bottom. You have to register to download the free video, but everything is free for the registration process. That site is amazing, look around, classic videos of Inch and many others!

the swiss Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Tom Black's method gets my vote for the "most painful" bending method ever. One piece of advice: ease into it!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Tom Black's method gets my vote for the "most painful" bending method ever.One piece of advice: ease into it!!!!! I don't know, over the thumb seems more painful too me. I've experimented with nearly every technique I can think of and still like my original way the best.
