I have been struggling on how to make a heating coil with Nichrome wire. This is the only one that will help me to resolve my current problem. Thank you
Impressive indeed and the only I would add is that the size and shape of a spring is of course important but most important is the material it is made from. Thanks for the video.
Really your video on making the springs from wire rope wire is an eye opener for me since I was struggling to have a specific extension spring for my model. Tham=nks for your informative video.
Good video. I always try to reuse, recycle or repurpose material on hand. This video is a good application and demonstration using this way of thinking. Stay well, JoeZ
Love your videos. Your detail to perfection is why I love your videos. You make sure that all your projects are done to your satisfaction. Thanks for sharing
Hello Steve Rabon, Thanks for recognising the effort required to make these videos, their not the best but i`ve tried my best. Thanks for the comment and for watching my videos!
I have watched other people's video on how to make springs and I have to tell you that yours is by far the best that I have seen. I couldn't really tell what was the spring you bought and the ones you made. Great work.
You have good videos on how to do things, very well done. Please make more of the ones like the spring, etc., where you can make things that are useful just from tools on hand. Thank you!
temper the springs in a toaster oven and it will be just as strong as the original spring. It's a good idea it just needs to be expanded on as you have proven that steel cable wire is suitable material for springs.
Tom Sobieski Hello Sobieski, the difficulty in making a compression spring by hand, will be how to keep the same pitch of the wire coils through out the intire length of the spring. The only way that i´m thinking at this moment is to use a screw, and wrap the wire along the theads! Thanks for the comment and for watching my videos!

Hello David farmer, it may take some time, but is on the list of videos to make, in fact not to long ago i made one for the handle of a floor car jack, i used 4mm diam. wire, and no power tools! Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Brilliant source for carbon steel wire! If you were ever in need of flat bar stock plumbers drain tape available in many widths is another great source of high grade carbon steel that can be quench hardened and tempered
Hello Mohamed Salam, I couldn´t find in my area any store that sales stainless steel spring wire, so I asked in my local fishing store, and they give me two used springs from old broken triggers mecs. If you can´t find stainless steel spring wire try to find a stainless steel rope/cable, look in stores that sell parts for boats, these cables are used in sail boats. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Hello Angelo, I made this video just to show that is possible to make small springs with simple tools! the springs that I made on the video are made from a common steel wire rope. To make springs the wire needs to be what you call (armonic or piano wire) and to make springs for spearguns that wire needs to be corrosion resistant, I don´t know if normal stainless steel wire will be good for springs! The best is to buy the springs, if that is not possible then try to make it and for that I sujest using stainless steel wire rope/cable, if nothing better is available!
Try putting the drill in the vice instead. You could also try a foot switch to turn the power on to the drill with something holding the trigger on the drill closed such as tape or elastic bands. You can then use both hands to make a more precise spring.
Hello Sangzuala, no need to temper it, just find a piece of steel cable rope with the right wire diameter for the application you need and make as many springs as you need. Thanks for the comment and for watching my videos.
Hello Bill Rogers, tell me about it. I have another "better" power drill, but the red one is the one that i use the most. Thanks for the comment and for watching my videos!
Hello jeff Beck, many other people have suggested that, and i have tried it before, but it doesn´t work the wire got very soft. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
if using a variable speed drill when you coil your spring try to hold the mandril at an angle so the wire you are coiling is slightly pressed against the previous formed coil, this will give you better tension in your spring just make sure you pull hard to keep the wire in tension but try not to let the wire over ride the previous coil. yours the spring maker...
Hello colin Burrows, I know, the hand drill that i use didn`t help at all, but that`s the only one i have! you explaned exactly how to make a spring, having the wire pressed against the last formed coil is very important. Visited your channel, that spring making machine is amazing! Thanks for the great tips, and for watching my videos!

Great idea man! I need to do this to repair my sons Disney's toy Woody. Spring broke to retract the pull string, this will make a better coil than the original one in it. However, I will use guitar string to make it.
Great way to make a spring. There are a lot of ways. Try another way. Set up drill in vice where you can control the drill and not damage drill.Then put wire in drill the way you did, but hold the wire with a vice grip as you spin the drill. I think you might have better control. Good luck.
Not an expert, but I've read always wear safety goggles when working with spring wire, because it can snap loose and cause severe injury if you aren't careful. With heavier spring wire, you have to be careful of actual limbs too.
Hello bhupendrap Desai, ok, the next video will be without power tools, and that´s because I don´t want you to lose any sleep over this. Ha Ha Thanks for the comment and for paying attention when watching my videos.
hello i like your videos from making speargun anf the trigger mech i all downloaded your videos it helps me a lot thank you very much... In addition can u make swivel pigtail with bungee??? Thank u111
Hello Flemish Templar, that happened because of the lack of safety fectures in your medieval armor, from what i can see it´s just a simple base model without any extras, like a fire extinguisher, smoke alarm, rear view mirrors, video cameras, gps and much more! The marriage thing, i think it was just bad luck, or mabe it was because of that armor again, the problem is that theres nothing that can be done to reverse it, you just have to live with a goat! Thanks for the comment and for watching.
@@MrMyvids4you Yeah you're absolutely right, my helmet could use some rearview mirrors. It's kinda hard backing up op de driveway when u can't turn your head. I will upgrade it before proceeding. And about my goat.. uh i mean my wife. The reason i married her was because she looked more attractive and feminine then the females in my surrounding. At least, the goat is good at mowing the lawn. How many women do u know that do that chore on their own?
ахаха. Хрень какая. зажми в тисках через деревянные прокладки свое сверло с первыми витками своей пружины. Деревяшки обеспечат достаточное трение не только для равномерной навивки, но еще и выровняют твою кривую проволоку.

Hello arquitectronico,
"One man´s trash is another man´s treasure"

Can you make it from normal wire do you treat the wire with fire
Regards
how do you keep the wire from rolling over itself (double layer)? You need a very steady hand to keep the drill in place??
can you also make a compression spring?
Tom Sobieski Hello Sobieski,
the difficulty in making a compression spring by hand, will be how to keep the same pitch of the wire coils through out the intire length of the spring. The only way that i´m thinking at this moment is to use a screw, and wrap the wire along the theads!

you could try a piece of square keystock, or some other flat metal bar. as you wind the metal would keep the gap consistent.

Hello Bill Rogers,

Thanks for the comment and for watching my videos!
put it in the oven for 45 minutes and 450 degrees or 225 celcius to harden and it will be stronger
heat relieves stress in music wire & ss wire
you could also fire those with a blow torch and harden the wire. I would think that would make it more like a real spring.
Hello jeff Beck,
many other people have suggested that, and i
have tried it before, but it doesn´t work the wire got very soft.

ахаха. Хрень какая.
зажми в тисках через деревянные прокладки свое сверло с первыми витками своей пружины.
Деревяшки обеспечат достаточное трение не только для равномерной навивки, но еще и выровняют твою кривую проволоку. Уже готовые витки нарежут резьбу в деревяшках и стержень с готовой пружиной будет сам выходить. А проволока будет втягиваться всегда в одном месте.
Если ты сможешь точно намотать первые 3-5 витков для пружины сжатия - такое устройство остальные витки намотает с таким же шагом.
