Default 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.

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.

Neat, David!

That’s one hella reference manual, though! I might take the online option instead!
