camz Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Bending a "Wonder-Bar" (3/8"x2"x30"; metric: 10mm x 50mm x 76,2cm)! This bar was originated by Chris "Wonder" Schoeck in the awardwinning documentary "Bending Steel" (2013)! This movie is a huge inspiration and this bar was a goal of mine for the last couple of weeks. I had to improve my mid-length techniques A LOT to get this one done, but all the work finally paid off! Didn't feel the best today as I had a very exhausting week and a terrible day. My kink was pretty weak today (last week I could kink this bar to like 60°, but ran out of steam...), but I just refused to give up! Action starts at 5:00 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how did you plan your training for this bar? Did you fiddle with anything else on the way to this bend? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camz Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Thanks, guys!

No secrets on this: I've bent easier bars with a similar length. For me it makes no sense to bend a longer bar with the same dimensions and then go shorter, as I have to use different techniques. On the way to this bar I've bent: 16mm x 75cm round 18mm x 85cm round 18mm x 80cm round 18mm x 75,5cm round (I posted the bend in another thread a while ago) 10mm x 30mm x 80cm flat (10mm ~ 3/8") 10mm x 35mm x 80cm flat 10mm x 40mm x 80cm flat 10mm x 45mm x 80cm flat ...and had like 3 goes for the Wonder-Bar itself. On the easier bends I tried to learn/test new techniques and not to stay with the ones I already am able to use. ...still a lot more to learn to bend shorter bars.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
