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 RUclips 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.
I just wanted to say that this is the video that started it all for me. This video is what first got me interested in machining. 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 :)
"Springs were made to fill the gaps between winters and summers" At that moment I knew I was watching a good video. "General-ly speaking" I had to like the video.
This was the 1st to video I ever saw. A few days ago I needed a spring for a project and the knowledge I gained all those years ago helped creat a functional spring. Thanks Tony for putting out content that is relevant to so many people!
I've scrolled all through these comments and I seem to be the only one that really appreciated the "Bob's your uncle" joke. It was said as "You're now Bob's nephew" but it reminded me of my mum who used to say "Robert's your father's brother".
"Available in all shapes and sizes...except the one you need." True for springs, screws, nuts, bolts, wrenches, screw drivers, taps, dies, and pretty much anything else you currently find yourself needing
This even applies when you decide to visit the hardware store for it. "No we don't have that one in stock. We used to, but there was no demand for it."
Somehow this guy managed to fit his spicy humour in every 10 seconds of the video yet still manage to keep it educational and engaging. Bravo. That was easy
I knew a guy once who was into those home made, sit and ride, mini steam trains. He was pretty anal about making every single little part for them, all the way down to tiny screws. Despite being a hobbyist, (retired welder) he looked like a godlike machinist to me. He made spring forming look like an art form. Sadly he passed away in 2006.
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. 😂
Hey long post after, but where do I find the spools of stock material to keep on the shelf for this? I've got the lathe already so I'd like to have it around for when I inevitably need it.
@@joeburns91 it's called music wire, it need to be heat treated after coiling like all springs. It can be found many places. 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.
The first ToT video I watched.. I watched the whole thing, bought the spring I needed, and used the time I saved to watch every other video Tony has done.
Seamless, clear, concise; executed with precision, and… entertaining! Impressive, in all respects! Potential for positive impact on impressionable minds??? Stunning! Grateful for your gratuitous efforts, to freely share pearls of wisdom with any that will listen! Brad
I smash the like button on your videos much like a do the nacho cheese dispenser at a gas station: an irresponsible amount of times and with incredible force. Sadly, on RUclips this produces only one "like" and no cheese, but you should know the outcome is equally satisfying. Keep it up, good sir!
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.
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of art!!!! I find it a crime that in 6 months of -stalking- going through your catalog this is the first of this kind I have found!
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.
I've been making springs for 20 years. It is important that you heat treat your spring before use. Depending on the metal type you are using the temperature will be different.
Dude the rotating around the springs in the beginning with the bg out of focus was hilarious. As soon as that music came in I knew what u were going for. Great great job
The eye shooter... The finger slicer... ... and The meat grinder. Over the years, children have been using all sorts of objects to endanger themselves. Until recently within the past two centuries, they would use rocks or sticks to poke there eyes out when playing. Now days they use BB guns. BB guns are toy mock ups of real firearms, except without the fire. A BB gun uses a stout spring or compressed air to propel a BB into the eye of the child looking down the barrel. When the trigger is pulled, a mechanism releases the spring or compressed air to propel the BB.
Love the “how it’s made” theme. Also, best quote I ever heard about springs. “They come in many shapes and sizes except the one you need” nothing truer
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
I don't have a lathe, I don't have music wire, I don't even need or want to make a spring. However, I can't even begin to express how brilliant this video was. I watched the whole thing. You should get an EMMY for this...
I'm 0:35 in and idk what I've gotten myself into....but I'm gonna finish this video for the entertainment, and cautiously hope it actually gives me info I can use.
@@HenryPiffpaff If you need to move out of the way of the mandrel on each rotation, you probably have too much run out on the mandrel. Otherwise, it doesn't matter much. Imagine the mandrel being 30cm off centre. 😉
Your now bobs nephew, had me actually laughing out loud cause bobs your uncle. Loved the how its made theme and everything about this video. Been missing this old Tony so it made me look back at this video. A classic for the ages
Good stuff. I’ve been feeling a little down lately. This has helped me put the spring back in my step. Watching old people fall after stepping on a spring loaded stair really cheers one up.
My compliments on a really good video. Thank you many times over. I'm a machinist and have been making springs a long time, but your video has made this operation much easier. Again thank you
I watch most of your videos multiple times to get the most out of them. What's sad is that some school or such SHOULD pay you a fortune... Because you wouldn't mind watching this 5 or 6 times!!! Like seriously!!!
0:46 At this point I thought this was an inaccurate video with the "machine" comment. Then I kept on watching and found lots of nice humor in the video. Best part is.... this video is ACTUALLY informative and good information about springs, and I learned something new. :-) Thanks!!
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!
it ia incredible how many differnt springs there are in use today and how hard it can be to find one that is the right size and strength, I have saved every spring I find or salvage so that I now have a large coffee can full.....now I need to learn how to remake old springs into ones I need
just how in the devil did this get thumbs down remarks????? it says what it does, and it does what it says very very good. this is an excellent video. thank you very much for such an excellent teaching video..
Actually, I watch instructional videos for instruction and on a more complicated subject than this might have been confused by Tony's humor. This subject and the humor were simple enough not to be very confusing. Thumbs up on this one. Bob's your mothers brother.
I've actually been guilty of giving a thumbs down to videos that I really liked - A case of not watching what your hovering fingers are doing over the keyboard. ( Probably too engrossed in the video).
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!
I came to learn about making springs, but I stayed for the colorful and funny expressions. Those springs are definitely better than a stick in my eye. 😅
The best "better mouse trap". I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed what that spring looked like. I'm a gunsmith and dealer and I've often had to make my own springs. I clicked on this to see if there were any tricks I hadn't thought of. It didnt have any for me but it was entertaining all the same.
Spring Manufacturing is very Interesting job. 20 years Experience, I can manufacture 1mm wire dia to 10mm wire. I love to work in spring field. Thank you.
"They're available in all shapes and sizes - except the one you need."
Truer words have never been spoken.
why must you hurt me in this way
So fucking facts
Cant find a good spring to fit my homemade shotgun
Also applied in dating scenario
Truer words were never said!
I'm four years late to this video, but I still gotta comment: the How It's Made parody is absolutely spot on!
tbh
same, I used to watch the show all the time
Youre right
That intro was really nostalgic for me!
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.
i am building a second marble machine and will use springs instead of rubber bands that dries out this time... this video helped me a lot! thanks!!
Awesome, loved your first one!

"need a lathe"
Vise, (or 2 pieces of wood & 2 clamps) & a drill.... LOL

It does what it says very very *well*
I've actually been guilty of giving a thumbs down to videos that I really liked - A case of not watching what your hovering fingers are doing over the keyboard.
( Probably too engrossed in the video).
"You're now well on your way to shooting your eye out."

I love this channel for all the puns, jokes and the stuff i learn from it... You're a legend
I came to learn about making springs, but I stayed for the colorful and funny expressions. Those springs are definitely better than a stick in my eye. 😅
Today on how its made: Lower Receiver Hammer springs.
The best "better mouse trap". I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed what that spring looked like. I'm a gunsmith and dealer and I've often had to make my own springs. I clicked on this to see if there were any tricks I hadn't thought of. It didnt have any for me but it was entertaining all the same.
@@jonathanhudson4623 I thought this too.
Or the super off limits GI Sear spring when made in the proper gauge wire....
thats exactly why i watched this!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brings a whole new meaning to the last comment he made in the video "Your well on your way to shootin your eye out"....Oh....he KNOWS.
Top notch edit. You made video look and feel like "How its made" same.
He got the music spot on too
This will really help me with my homemade springlock suit 😊
Came here per Jimmy Direstas recommendation on Making It Podcast. Love the humor and pro video ala How It Made. Subb'd.
Nice! Glad to have you Sean.
7:30 "patience and bit more care than being demonstrated" is the best joke on how to video
At least the second time watching this always appreciate the videos. Love the "how it's made" kinda vibe, thank you TOT!
Imagine the potential of the human race, if everybody were as skilled with their hands, and sharp with their wit, as this guy. SUBBED!!
I would say a funny joke about a spring but it's almost winter.
