Still relevant after 7 years. Thank you Sir. You save my day. As helpful as instructive and using less overkill welded montages shown in so many youtube posts. Your solution is the smartest IMHO. Thank you Jack.

For those who need really small springs, (needed one for my car keys, lost it when changed battery), you can use springs in pens, they are good material and can be rewound to make smaller ones. Worked like a charm, just need a right size steel bar (used my precision screwdriver kit).

God bless you.! I wish you realize how helpful this was to me. I had almost given up on restoring a 103 year old Remington rifle until I came across your post as a last resort. My trigger mechanism is missing the main spring and its not available anywhere. I will have to use a thicker gauge cable but if it works I will post my first ever video to show that it works.. Thanks again, this is what youtube is all about.. Cheers.!

One philosophy I've adopted is that if it's possible for something to be made in the first place, it's possible to remake it. Might take some experimenting and practice, but there's a way, there's a way, and I'll find it.

oh thank you for this. I am repairing a 130 year old doorbell and the last bit is a simple return spring for the knocker & didnt really know how to handle it. this was super easy to follow and i think i can wrap up my project!

Glad that I found your video. I am making some wild bird seed hoppers and have been looking for the right size springs to help keep the roof closed. Now I shall just make my own. Never knew it would be relatively simple to make for myself. Thanks for taking the time, helped me out a great deal.

OMG, fantastict! I'd been looking days for some small springs to complete a guitar project with no luck. Little did i suspect I'd have made the perfect set of springs from a leftover high E-string in 15mins using a drill bit and a Makita cordless drill! Unbelievably cool. Thank you for sharing!

Had a heck of a time trying to find the right spring to fix some nice vintage shears, and I have other practical uses where it'd be easier to just make a spring than try to source one, so thanks for showing how easy it is with common tools that any hobby machinist or woodworker or even "average dad" has around!

I never thought of making my own springs before. I don't know much about "spring theory" but I think it would be interesting to see which types of wires and gauges of wire produce the best of each kind of spring. I just might start experimenting a little with this idea. Thanks!

Great shop tip, Jack!!! It's nice to see how easy this is to do. I have a need for special sized compression springs for a vintage door bell I'm am restoring. I found some at Menards that might work, but if they don't then I will try this. BTW - have you tried using threaded rod to guide the coils for consistent spacing? Just wondering if you have and if that has worked well.
