  • As a retired springmaker if coiling on a lathe after turning the amount of required coils you should wind the lathe slowly backwards to release the spring tension. So that when you cut the wire it won't spin backwards and damage you hand.

It's just like when you're with your friends (If you have any)and one of them repeats a line from a show/movie you're watching/have watched (Do you scream at them?)

Thank you Tony for your helpful, interesting, and entertaining videos over the years. So, from a young guy with zero knowledge and zero experience that has been repeatedly lost in the seemingly ever-deepening rabbit hole that is hobbyist machining, thank you for pointing me down the right road :)

  • Helpful tip from a spring maker, (Lee Springs) When grinding the spring make sure you have at least 75% of the circumference ground on each end coil. This will reduce the deflection, and ensure proper loading. Heat treatment is done prior to preset and shot peen. Have a good day. 😊 PS: hey Tony, when is Boss going to let you put a manual Torin in the garage..I'm sure you would have a great time figuring out the cams. 😂

I would add that the time labor and materials needed even just for a couple spring will be high compared to just buying one from the catalog. A spring makers catalog has thousands of springs available. Just call and tell them what you are looking for. Compression extension torsion ect.

  • Always enjoy you videos. Just made my first spring using your technique. Success came on the third attempt, on the first attempt the mandrel was too big a diameter, the second attempt I ran out of wire, its surprising how much it takes so should have calculated it beforehand, never mind I'm sure that shorter spring will come in handy one day. I used your idea of the tool holder with a piece of delrin (acetal) sheet to provide the friction. I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if this has been raised before, but I found that it was worth adding a few extra non-functioning turns at each end because the start and finish turns were not wound as tight as the rest and were a larger diameter. I then trimmed the extra turns off. All in all a perfect spring for my modified screw-less milling vice.

  • Years ago I had a utility knife that had a button you had to press to open it and close it, so it basically locked closed or locked open. Any ways I wanted to fit a small torsion spring around the pivot point to turn it into a flick knife, after many failed attempts I got there in the end and it "fired " at the touch of the button, the main snagging points I came across were most common springs were wound the wrong way or the coils binding up on the pivot screw. It was all good fun making it work thow, trail and error ending in success. Keep up the good work and excellent videos.
