DIY Springs... Make Your Own Springs at Home!

In the video on DIY springs, I show you how to make your own springs at home. This process will work best on small mechanical springs, and they can be any length.

If you're interested in making springs at home, I show you how by using 1/8" mild steel rod. You will need a very long length of material, and a lot of space.

If you are making a compression spring, make your wraps a bit further apart. If you are making an extension spring you make your wraps more together.

You can make your own basic springs without a springs making machine. Winding springs from steel is done cold.

This blacksmith tips and tricks video is created by me, Roy Adams, here at Christ Centered Ironworks. I have tons of other blacksmithing videos at my channel...    / christcenteredironworks  
I have videos on everything from blacksmith tips and tricks to complete forging tutorials, and even power hammer builds.
