luuc Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hello, I don't know if you remember, I went to Mark Vogels in November last year. He gave me a hexa bastard when I took the train home, and today I thought; let's give it a go. I bought some hex shaped 5/16 crs in a hardware store a couple of weeks ago and first I gave that stuff a try. Cut it to 6,5" and tried to bend it, just 5 degrees after a couple of attacks. So I made the padding a little thicker. It worked; after 10 minutes it was finished, 1,5" between the ends. So, I thought the hexa bastard would be a little easier at 7", I was wrong. :P With thick padding it took me nearly 15 minutes to compleet the bend. But it was succesfull: hex (picture) another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
