George Langford wound made some springs for eggbeater chucks
He had always wanted to. He made a jig and wound them up.
To make small springs you don't have to mess with the temper of the
spring wire.
Just get the right size wire (Mcmaster sells foot long straight sticks
of spring wire, in tubes. Lots and lots of them in a tube! They aren't
too expensive.)
and make a simple jig, whatever you need.
Wind them a lot tighter than you need (spring back).
its just a matter of experimentation.
I have made a lot of one off springs in my life.
If I can do it..........
yours Scott
