Mark Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I checked my steel inventory from stuff I ordered from FBBC awhile ago and I have all these bolts yet I cant tell what grade of bolt is what. How do you tell them apart? Also a friend finnally paid me back for some work I dd for him so I have a little money so I was gona go pick up some steel. What kind should I get. I used to be able to bend 1/4 steel round very easily now I can only kink it. also if I go to the store to buy more bolts what do I ask the person in the hardware isle for grade x bolts? or do they go by another name Currently I have: Tons of blue nails over 50 Misc bolts. All the bolts from the beginer package from FBBC (need helping tell which are which) 30 red nails 10 7 inch 1/4 round 6 6 inch 1/4 round and Im still finding more as we speak.

Mark Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I am thinking picking up some 3/16 just not sure on the length. I can 5 inches pretty easy. What would be the step up from that yet not as bad as a 1/4 round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) its always good to remember my good friend Matt Cannon :"any healthy man can bend one grade 5 with knowledge about proper technique.." get g5's 6" (u can cut them later). try to bend different lenghts : 7" , 6" and 5.5" x 1/4" just to get the groove. g5's are next or 7 mm crs if u can get some. best of luck Edited March 17, 2009 by ewokhugo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
