Chris,
I just caught your comment about “Buds”. That is just about the worst beer I ever had and I can’t stand the stuff. Some of the best beer I ever had was in England at the pubs in Birmingham. One of my favorites was called THIGSTONS OLD PECULAR.
If you can buy blue tempered spring steel in sheets you can make springs from that. It is too hard to be shaped with an endmill but it punches and sheers easily. You can rough punch the shape and then smooth it out with files and stones.
