Hello my name is Tim Iacobucci. This is my webpage about my steel bending and scrolling.





Here is a link to the Steel Raven Webpage, following my progress on that scroll.





This is a 60D nail. Bending this is an old standard of strength. I decided to try a new variation on the old sucker and scroll it by bending it in 2 places. This is very tough with the 6" length of the nail. It is similar to but harder than 2 seperate 4" bends.



These are 2 big horseshoes I bent recently. They are allot bigget and thicker than the others I have done. The smaller is a St. Croix Lite Rim #1, the bigger one is a #3.



Here is another big scroll I did recently. It is 2 peices of 1" x 1/4" a36 hrs at 20 feet long. So 40 feet of steel weighing around 40lbs all together. This scroll doesn't have allot of the very difficult short bends and twists like the previous 1/4" flat scroll I made for my Grandfather. I also made it more flat because it was made as a wall hanging. The difficult part was joing the 2 peices and the sheer volume of work in it took allot of endurance, maybe 5 hours all together.





This is a 3/8" x 12" timber spike I bent and unbent braced, maybe 100 or more times until it broke.



These are some more horsehoes. These are Diamond shoes DC1, DS1 and a pony shoe DC00. They are much much harder than the ultra lite I bent previously and I have only been able to S shape these so far. I will bend them into hearts eventually but they are much thicker and it will take allot more strength than the other shoe I hearted as I already said.
I am really happy about this, I have wanted to bend that DC1 for a long time now, it is a major standard like bending a 60 penny nail for unbraced bending or a timber spike for braced bending.



Here is a peice of stainless steel 5/16" x 7" bent unbraced to under 2". This is a major benchmark in the area of unbraced bending. I have wanted to get this and have been training for it for a very long time now, well more than a year.



Here is a screw driver I had some fun with.



Here is a new braced bending best for me. It is 7/16" x 16" stainless steel. It is next to a peice of 14" x 1/2" a36 hot rolled steel and an unbraced bend of 5/16" x 6" cold rolled steel for size comparison.
Stainless is very very strong and much harder to bend than cold rolled steel which is in turn much harder than hot rolled. This peice was extremely springy, I could nearly touch the ends of it together and it would spring back to the point it is at in the picture.



This is a big flat scroll I did. It is 1 and 1/4" x 3/8" a36 hrs at just over 10'. That is a Diamond classic #1 horseshoe on top for scale.







Here is the results of my first go with 1/2" real a36 hrs. The left most is the crs like steelworks 1/2" at 18" then 1/2" a36 at 16" and finally 14". Above is a peice of 7/16" x 16" stainless I could not finish. The stainless is way tougher.



My biggest spike range bend. It is 7/16" x 14" long and that 3/8" x 12" spike shown with it is a very hard bend so you can see how much smaller it looks by comparison.



A 1/4" grade 8 bolt I snapped by bending and unbending it a bunch of times. It took maybe 15 - 20 mintues straight.



Here is my frist really long bar scrolling, it is 1" x 1/4" hot rolled steel at 20 feet long. It tookjust over 2 hours to complete. This takes a tremendous amount of endurance as well as strength. The big 3/4" fish in back for size comparison.







My first try at a horseshoe, it is one of the easiest, it is a St. Croix forgred Ultra Lite. More to come on the shoe front.





Here is my frist try at a big long bar bend. It is 3/4" x 4' long A36 hot rolled steel.





A Frog I made as a present for my cousin's wife Stefani. It is made of 5/16" and 1/4" stainless steel and 1/4" brass.





Here are some other scrolls I've done.

1" x 1/4" flat steel







3/8" square





1/2" x 48" pretzel attempt, as you can see the steel I have bends allot sharper than real a36 hrs.





I wanted to do something with a spike, so I tried stringing 1/4" square through it.





Here is the big thing I've been working on. It is a christmas present for my sister.
