 Re: Springs (Ouch!)

I thought all springs have to be clipped and flattened - the ones I've been using have all been of a specific length so they have to be clipped to the correct length and the end flattened.

When blueing, you'll probably have to temper them in a kiln set to the right temperature rather than with a flame to get them to temper uniformly.

I can only assume the ones being made now haven't been hardened but have only been blued which is why they don't have the tensile strength.

The opinions I express are my own.
