I made a spring and it holds it’s shape. I kept going back to it during the day to check on it. I used .050″ sheet metal to make the three disks and drilled one out. I put the springs sandwiched in the disks with some very tiny metal fillings. Wrapped in .30″ safety wire. Keep turning it as I heated the wire to a cherry red. Cooled in vegetable oil. Beginners luck?
