[SEL] More springs

[Jim O'Hagan]

Hi JB. Can you take the form and slice it twice down through it length wise?
You will end up with 3segments which you can remove the center segment
collapsing the two outer barrel shaped sides. Just an idea. Jimmy O'

Another spring question. An engine I'm restoring uses a barrel shaped
spring, looks like this, () or a handle on a chipping hammer. Anyone have an
idea on how to wind one? If you wind it on a barrel shaped form you can't
get it off after it's wound. The best idea I have so far is to stack disc on
a bolt and shape them, wind the spring and remove the disc between the
coils.
