macaz Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It finely bent. Actually I got two today! It was hard to get a kink. Seemed to just want to bow. But once I got the kink it bent easy. Seemed easier than a G8 in the crush down. The second Red felt hard on the crush down probably because I crapped out. Oh ya the G8 is the new batch I got. Has a U on the top and feels as hard as a triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GatorGrip Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 AWESOME milestone my friend, this is a significant bend that you have done. I know you see others bending larger stuff but everyone fought hard to slay the red dragon at one time and this is BIG in my eyes. CONGRATULATIONS & WELL DONE!!!

daniel reinard Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Right on!!! That's a huge milestone! Congrats Rich! That's gotta feel awesome. Way to overcome the steel and make it submit to your will. The Red is just the beginning, you have potential to kill bigger bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Great work Rich! Now that you've dialed-in your technique the real fun has begun! You'll get your first 6.5" Red quickly and probably a 6" Red too. Shorter takes more work but it's totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is muuuch better than the old sharp ones I did that to the sharp red nail ends on my bench grinder. I do it to all my stuff to make my wraps last longer.

Those things kill IMPs and IMO there is no reason for those sharp edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
