New Years Eve Tearing



For the last workout of 2008, New Year's Eve, I thought I would tear 9 phonebooks to celebrate the coming of '09! Get ready everyone, BIG things are coming for the new year!

3/8" x 12" "S"pike



Last week I posted a 6" spike that I had bent into an "S" design. Early this morning I decided to attempt this style of bend with a 3/8" thick by 12" long steel spike as well. Shown in the photo is the 6" spike and a U.S. quarter for scale along with the 12"er.

The year is almost complete. There is not much left of 2008. Did you make this past year a productive one? Are you ready for the challenge of improving yourself in 2009? As great a year as it has been for me, I'm looking forward to conquering new challenges and advancing all the more in the coming 12 months. Now is the time to make that commitment to yourself!

Visiting Santa




Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I thought I had better go see the jolly guy and let him know what's on my "wish list". What else, big shiny horseshoes - LOL!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

"S"pike Bending



My good friend and fellow strongman John McGrath sent me a few spikes recently and said "Can't wait to see what you do to them". I had thought about that for a little while and wanted to do something special for my friend. I decided that since I'm known for bending assorted items into an "S" shape like hammers and adjustable wrenches, why not a six inch spike? Here is the result, what do you think John?

Tragic...


The Joker had seen me coming, then he met a "tragic" end.

#4 Horseshoe Double Twisted



Here is a video post at the request of a private collector. What I have is a 1/4" x 3/4" # 4 polished steel horseshoe that I am bending into a double twisted "S".

This is just a "teaser" sample of what I have been filming for my upcoming first DVD release. Be sure to watch for it as filming is almost complete, I have some BIG feats on this project! You won't want to miss it!

Six Vertical Strips


I've been tearing a lot more phone books lately and tonight turned into a great workout. After my leg training routine I decided to do some tearing. The first book I grabbed ended up in four vertical strips. This went extremely well and I decided to see what I could get done in another book. After a few minutes the second book was in six vertical pieces.

Double Twist "Paperclip"



I was feeling good today and decided to have some fun with a horseshoe. I bent this solid steel horseshoe around two complete times before finishing it off with my signature "paperclip" move.
