They should have hired him as the narrator

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 2 AM. I’m in my kitchen eating meatballs when I see KZread recommends me a video on how to make springs. I watch the video. I learn something new. I’m satisfied. What a time to be alive. Thank you for this.

Think for yourself big guy. Use a drill press, vise, and a jig.

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. 😂

Love the puns man. Keep up the good work.

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.

This is really interesting, always wondered about how springs were made.I,m surprised I thought you had to bring up to heat in forge,then quench to set the springs.I,ve got a lathe and am building a old Indian motorcycle,which needs lots of different exspensive springs.Great video cheers

This saved our coffee maker today. I made a new spring clamp using the lathe and spring steel from a windshield wiper, to hold a hose on its nipple that is apparently known for slipping off. Thanks ToT!

Thank you for sticking to the point and stretching my understanding of this topic.

Wait... am I watching an episode of Discovery Channel's _"How it's made"?_ Even the narration is done in Tiny Hirst style! And the intro with the product on a platter! Even the electro-music matches!

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.

out of all the people and videos i watch on here, i think youre my new favorite. i havent laughed and enjoyed content like yours in a while! keep doing what youre doing, its working!

This is the best video about homemade springs that I've seen today!

Something that needs to be done after forming the spring is to stress relieve it. When you form the spring you are stressing the metal beyond the point where it is able to return to its original shape. That stress remains trapped in the metal and it will allow it to change shape more easily. Every time you cycle the spring, it will continue to change shape. In the case of a compression spring it will just keep getting shorter and shorter over time. To remove the stress, after the initial forming, the spring needs to be heated to allow the grain structure to return to its original shape within the part. Music wire needs to be heated to 450 degrees for about an hour to do this. A rather strange side effect of the stress relieving process is that with music wire , the coil diameter will get smaller. Hard drawn wire does that also. Oil tempered wire does not move. Most common stainless wires are stress relieved at 650 degrees and the coil diameter will grow larger from the process.
