Thanks Jerry - cirelaw

My intentions were not to hijack this thread but rather point it out via 'new posts' so that the newer members could read GT's perilous adventure into snail drum spring manufacture.

This thread is fantastic and is a very well written & documented adventure that no one should miss reading IMO.

Again thank you so much GT ... outstanding.

I think Rich, Rick & Eric have it right! There will be blood! ....

... most likely as the spring material is pretty strong! And the final receptacle is pretty small! ...

... But as mentioned, if needed, safety capture is pretty simple .. you just need a swinging bar over one small edge part of the diameter pie... What has yet to be done, is: finish the drilling fixture for the 5 total, four different, holes required, and the rivet set block for the truss headed rivet to join the bridle spring to the main spring... If there is enough interest, I will show the "spring making" journey step by step with pictures for the forum... And all the members can then make the 100 year old journey with me!

... Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT

I am interested! I don't ever intend to make a drum magazine spring, but I do have to make a clockwork type spiral flat spring for an ongoing project I'm working on...

In fact, Gerry, I may want to buy a foot of spring material from you...
