How to make springs
You know, those things which shoot past your ear, never to be found again.
Here's handy video about making your own. How to get design data, what material to get, how to make them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAawhg6JtyY You can use a pillar drill turned manually if a lathe isn't handy. 'This old Tony' has done a number of excellent videos on making all sorts of things. Done quite humourously, as well. David

Re: How to make springs
Neat, David!
That’s one hella reference manual, though! I might take the online option instead!
