Toughening the hands and mainly the palms is possible.

Self making nails and short round bars and short flat bars for bending and some extra information

Making nails and short round bars for bending

Just long, round bars and sawing it into the right pieces.

Interesting: For example 2-3mm shorter each time with a certain thickness.
-Shorter is harder to bend if it has the same bending resistance

-

Making flatbar pieces for bending

Just long, flat bars and sawing it into the right pieces.

Interesting: For example 2-3mm shorter each time with a certain thickness.
-Shorter is harder to bend if it has the same bending resistance

Nail bending techniques and information

Nail bending techniques and information

There's a lot of techniques
For the first part: Grip kinds:
1 double overhands
2 double underhands
3: 1: Left hand underhand, right hand overhands, nail over around the beginning of the thumb area
   2: Right hand underhand, left hand overhands, nail over around the beginning of the thumb area
Techniques:
Only the hands in contact with the nail
-And how far from the body
Hands in contact with the chest or stomach
-Gives support
Under the chin
-Gives support
And more.

Padding
-Padded gloves
 My setup: 1 pair of finger less gloves and 1 pair of padded gloves, work gloves or something similar.
 To my opinion this is better then padding, because you can't get extra leverage, which is
 possible with paddings.
-There's professional padding and even official padding.
 Just using the right textile is also possible.

Iron nails

Big nails
Medium nails
Extra:
Small nails
-Mostly a lot of thumb strength required, especially at the start
 And different bending techniques

For same brand, same bend resistant nail:
 A thicker nail with the same length is harder to bend
 A shorter nail with the same thickness is harder to bend

For making normal pointed nails safer:
 You can chip of the point with a Cutting plier
 Or you can grind it with a file until it's safer
It would be very bad if a sharp nail would suddenly go through the padding into the hand

Angle measurer
 To see how far you've bend the nails

Some people even bend nails with there bare hands. But this is very dangerous.
And if you want to bend sharp nails with the bare hands you need to grip correctly and use certain bending techniques.
