Reply To: Pocket watch mainspring shipping ring

Hello Peter

I have a spring winder and I still get “hair balls”. Also springs that fly around the room. I have found that after some practice they will wind onto the winder if you hold the ring close and tight to the winder. Usually then you find that you have put it in backwards. Then after a few bad word I gently work it out. My supplier in Vancouver doesn’t carry the better alloy springs.
