How to make 3 different style springs by hand in 3 minutes , real time. 

when I think that back in the 80s we trashed our toys just because we weren't able to replace or make a new replacement spring . hey !! I remember cassettes players door too , when the spring was damaged you had to manually open it

I believe you have done that a time or too. Always been fascinated with springs. Perhaps I was a spring maker like yourself, in another life. Liked your spring Turner as well. Thanks

Very good, dont speak any word You teacheme to make spring very good. One day I will visit to You in Australia. Thankyou very much

Excellent information! Thank you for making this video!

thank you, now I can unwind a spring and make the ends longer

That is a very helpful thing to know! Churs!

Thank you for sharing, it's very helpful

GREAT VIDEO.....................THANK YOU

Great! subscribed.

Very amazing

Very useful

It would be nice to learn what wire is required for that, and could you, e.g. «temper» or «harden» a soft wire to make it springworthy, and should it be before or after the bending. Thank you.

Would have been nice to see how you made the catch wire to hold stock in place. Nice setup. I have a bench grinder with Chuck at one end.Think I'll add a handle to the stone grinder side and it will double as my new wire bending tool...Thanks!

love

Thanks uncle

Great! But what about hardening?

how are you makin this look way easier than it should be

Thank you for such a great and non-frightening video! Others make it seem you need a full pro workshop. I only need to make small springs, 1/8" - 1/4" diameter. What diameter piano wires should I use for each? One last thing, how do I finish the spring? You mentioned heat treating. What temperature and for how long? I read that piano wire is 'stress relieved' at 260℃ for 30 minutes. Is that correct?

It would be helpful to know what you are using to grip the spring to the mandrel?

You made em but do they work?

1. U must put ur hand behind the spring to get ur camera focused onto the spring u just made! Or put the spring on a clean sheet of white paper 2. Can see the most important part of this video: The hook jig to start coiling a wire. 3. Just buy an appropriate diameter/gauge piano wire for the raw mat'l

I want to buy this machine

Thanks for this idea, but still. What kind of wire that is used to make springs and it will spring

Hello thespringguy1, rcasprings I need your help: Can you make a video about making a really strong spring, like 1000N that is spiralled in on itself? Like a snail? Or like the springs in a vacuum cleaner that are used to roll up the cable but a lot stronger?

That's fast, that's really a lot faster than I can do it on my lathe.

What wire should I use for making spring

what materials good for making spring?

What kind of wire is suitable?

From where u got this wire?

what kind of wire are you using?

Do you sell the mandrels and also the spring that holds the wire as it is formed on the mandrel? I can make the machine with an old drill chuck no problem. I’m looking to do 1 mm wire around a 6mm or so mandrel.

by hand, you say... hmmm....

What wire is that

>how to make springs by hand >instantly shows a multi thousand dollar rotary lathe

Mind if I know the wire gauge? 🤔🤔🤔

Step 1: buy a lathe. Just kidding. Thanks for making this. I can use a hand drill instead.

Yo spring guy, you ever wonder why its still smithing and not a formal trade? Its in hope that after the first 20 years of learning and honing the skill that most would understand that just the air temp, humidity, wire temp and mandrel speed change everything not to mention the endless pages of heat treating formula that we pride ouselves on not having to refer to.. do a love job or charge beer rate for a month but ffs Guy lets try to keep the backyard amputations to a minimum and not give "usefull info" to some joker with a Milwaukee

Don't you have to harden then temper them?
