Springs...Today I was pondering a project in the shop which required a spring. I have read from various post that piano wire makes good spring metal.
I did not have piano wire but I did have .034 MIG wire from my welder. I spent the next couple of hours making jigs to turn and measure the performance of these springs but I feel the welding wire is limited to smaller applications.
What do you guys do when you require a spring for your projects?
