How to make hair spring.

As for round-nosed pliers: I use the EREM 543, made in Switerland and expensive to buy, I had mine for over 25 years now and still good.

It is possible to remove the temper first, form the spring, and then re-temper it.

It's not easy, but sometimes it's easier than getting tempered spring steel to take the shape you want it to!

I bought this from Lee Valley in Canada.Not only does it find & pick up those wee bits lost on my shop floor but I have retrieved tiny screws etc. from my camera work area.

Is it anything like the spring in a floppy disk?

The idea looks good, but whitch spring is missing....... there are quite a few in a shutter..........
Otherwise Hamster needs to wait for 3 month until I am home in The Netherlands again, I am in Brazil right now and have no other parts with
me than a couple of verry little screws.....

One other thing to considder: the new spring must exersize more or less the same tension as the old one.

Too stiff and you are into trouble, too weak and nothing happens......
