Easy Method to Make Great Springs

I work for a spring company for years and their R&D development lab. Do not forget the heat set the spring. It will give it a much longer longevity and a consistent Force. This can be done by sticking in an oven at a relatively high temperature. This is dependent upon what type of material you are using. Between 350 and 800° Fahrenheit. Overall a very nice job keep up the good work. Most of his Heat Treating was done between 500 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit. And only for a few minutes. As the diameter was very small.

So simple an idea! Brilliant, easy for anyone to make. Thanks for this! I was an aerospace mechanical engineer for years, and appreciate simple but clever mechanisms.

Great! This method is much safer than machining with a lathe, and can also produce long springs. Thank you.

Excellent!! Thanks to share your works !! 👍

So wonderful work So great too 🤩

These are the videos that kids need to watch .

Brilliant idea, dude! Really fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great idea i'm going to make spring for my projects

Nice idea. Put the handle on the other end of the rod and put a slot instead of a hole in the rod to start the spring. Then it can be easily removed once wound.

Excellent. Greetings from Ireland

Great! Thank you for sharing this brilliant idea.

¡Excelente!☺👏👏👏👏Saludos desde Argentina👋

Good idea & it is useful !

I am from India, good job.

Creative video, thanks for sharing :)

perfect and simple! Thanks

Great idea indeed!!!

What a great build! It beats the hell out of how I’ve made them by hand, with drill rod and a cordless drill. The wood screw for the handle cracks me up though, because it is the least comfortable one I’ve ever seen! At least drive it into a wooden handle.

good idea, very good

That is a real knowledge sharing, thanks alot!!

interesting, similar to your video, i put a few deep nuts in a vice like that, and run my threaded rod back and forth a bunch of times with a drill, to straighten out bent threaded rods. ( probably only works with smaller rods more prone to being bent)

That's awesome! Love it. Can you make both tension and compression springs? Thanks

Very good work 👍

la façon artisanale de faire des ressorts , bravo belle intelligence

It's been said below by others....Pretty cool!

nice creation very very good job

Very nice.... From INDIA. Tamil nadu.

سلام بر استاد عزیز،اره سبز.خیلی خوشحالم که باز شما با یک کار زیبا امدید،شما واقعا خلاق هستید و مبتکر،دوستدار شما رضا هستم از ایران❤💯👏👏

Nice Idea and good job . But there is a missing step that is to harden the steel rods after you make the spring . Needs to be heated from 500 to 800 and that depends on the type of steel to be harden or most people would say tempered . A person can go as fair as using stainless steel and that needs to be harden also . There is also brass springs . The best time to make springs is in the early Spring . Never ever make springs in the late Spring .

very cool idea

Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo

This is awesome and the comments are great! It's a little different than the method I use. What I do is grab a couple of bucks and then go down to the local hardware store and buy one.

Nice! Simple & strait forward,but what if as in my case the spring wind is the opposite direction? I need to produce a spring that is counter clock. I guess I'll just use a 3/8 dowel & slot the end. Sucks to not have the threads to guide the wire

How do you do the stress relief after forming the spring?

Thank s , that is easy no needs the machine to make, the best home D I Y , this is pulling spring, but how you make push spring?👍👍✋.

Good job

OMG that is such a good method of making these. I make jewlery and I have spent so many hours making devices to create jump rings and I saw this and my hand hit my face so hard, like fuck that is a good idea.

hi what kind of wires that you use to make it turn?

good work

Brilliant

Отлично !👍

Thanks the Lot !

Top 👍

Você não faz a têmpera do metal? Fico curioso sobre a resistência da mola para tração

Very good jab Godbelsyo T.q you

I need to make a very small spring like 3mm , Seriously great idea though well done

Great idea, really cool, can you make compression springs?

REVOLUTION!!

رائع 👏

Nice video! Going to subscribe to help your channel!

what kind of wire is used?

how about a compression spring ?

In the absence of a reply from GreenSaw: 1 - M12 has a pitch of 1.75mm. So the wire appears to be about 1mm dia. Say 18AWG (or 19SWG if you can find it!) 2 - In the absence of "Spring wire" you can use piano wire (Music wire in US). It wouldn't need heat treatment if only bent once (so look out for the ends!) and might spring open to a larger diameter when slipped off the screw-rod.

Dear friend nice vedio and sprien

good one

Smart

I'm from Sri Lanka,

Can make spring 10m ?

I needed to make a spring-shaped resistance, 1.0 meter long. I used a 1.25 meter long 5/16" screw. It took me a day to get the resistance (spring) off the screw. I do not advise using this technique with long springs.

I need to fabricate a spring with a slightly larger diameter halfway along the spring for a very short length.. Both ends will remain smallest diameter. How can this be done? In other words there must be a bulge in the spring somewhere ialong the length but not the ends. Thank you in advance. The spring has no mechanical function except as a guide for a rod in a tube.

How do you make springs that have hook ends to catch on to pins ??

👍👍

Hi!!! How to stretch it?

great

Grandiose Vorgehensweise, jetzt noch mit Brenner kirschrot glühen und in Öl abschrecken. Nach Abkühlung im Backofen auf 190 Grad erhitzen und im Wasser abschrecken. 190 Grad ist strohgelb, nun ist deine Feder bis zum Lebensende deiner Urenkel federhart und elastisch.

Kolay gelsin 👍🏼 :)

What kind of metal did you use to make the spring???

Nice idea, but what wire was used? Does it need to be heat treated/tempered afterwards or is it pre-tempered? Google Translate Güzel fikir, ama hangi tel kullanıldı? Daha sonra ısıl işlem/tavlama mı gerekiyor yoksa önceden mi tavlanmış?

Does this mean that we must make different jigs with different threaded rods for different wire gages?

Great idea! What kind of wire is used please? Does the Spring have to be heat treated after making? Thanks and regards, Marty (UK)

👍👍👍👍👍

No heat treating? Pre- tempered wire? 👍

What material do you use for the spring?

❤

👍👍👍😃😃😃😃

Bien..y el templado? Si se presiona sin templar quedara sin expandir, por lo tanto no sera un buen resorte!

wonder if piano string would work better? plus you wouldn't need to harden them.

This is also a good way to make jump rings for making chains or chainmail.

I think, there is little bit more to making spring, then making the shape. You make custom spring for specific application with specific requirements: overal length, diameter, pitch, size of wire, comression or extention travel limits, force needed to compress or extend it, life of the spring-how many comressions or extentions it will last. Now, how do you proceed, to calculate and select proper material and heat treatment procedures to satisfy that?! And of course, how do you go about giving it thespecific shape?!

you must have good iron elastic ones not ordinary

This is an incredibly overcomplex way to make a spring. Personally i just wind wire around a cylinder, and stretch it to desired length afterwards, then heat treat for hardening.

В свое время в кружке умелые руки ещё не такие вещи учудили....

Alambre elastico

Congrats, you now have a hundred dollar spring worth 15 cents.

😮

that is a twisted roll of wire its not spring steel? You do not importantly mention what type of wire used?

I just ride over to a local hardware store and buy what I need. Never been unable to find what I needed and the springs are proven to be produced with performance and longevity in mind. Usually less than $5.

With this rod you can make only one size springs

LOL, too bad as soon as you stretch the spring out it doesn’t return like a normal spring that’s heat treated.😂

I have hundreds of springs and would never have a use for metric ones.

That's great. But you don't have to drill into the threaded bar, just give the first turn of the wire on the threads with your hand. 👍

I started the video, went out and ran a marathon and got back before he got the miserable thing to work.

The spring is worthless unless it is made of good wire

The spring did not spring back, it stretched. Smh. Try again.

“Easy”

Ok, just gonna say it, those aren’t springs. They may look like ‘em, but they’re just coiled steel wire. Real springs are made out of tempered spring steel. They may sorta work, but a real spring will vastly outperform them.

these are not springs until heat treated this are just spun coils.

Never cut spring steel wire with pliers!!!! Cut it with a grinder and wear protection glasses.

Say something.
