> 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.
