OK, I gotta ask. What are doin there Bren?
I first envisioned the compressing of spring coil shocks to get them on or off a vehicle (a very scary first for me many years ago) but I don't think that is what you are talking about.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Much MUCH smaller... coil springs on a vehicle are around 0.43 and larger in diameter... 100 plus times the area.
I was winding new springs for a very specialized gun that they quit making parts for the second it left the factory floor.
Though I have done automotive coil springs a few times. In auto shop with a big compressor, it went well... in a friend's friend's garage with a little 20 gallon 120V compressor, not so much. Got quick at getting my hand out of the road when the coil compressors decided to slip and meet up with "la grande force". :P

I kinda knew I was setting myself up for the mundane. RE mundane-it's one of the truly odd words in the English language. The two prime definitions for said word contrast each other. It can mean "of the world" or " worldly". The world is anything but boring or commonplace. Just talking allowed. Carry on....
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

0.043 music wire doesn't look very thick until you try to get 16 coils of it into a free length of 1 5/8".

I sooo know it. I hate when that happens.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Well, I went to Newfoundland for the first time last summer. Not exactly "bi 3 way" exciting, but fun and interesting none the less. Standing at the edge of a 200 foot cliff watching a bazillion sea birds was pretty cool (maybe thats just old-guy exciting).
My last truly exciting first was scuba on the Great Barrier Reef 5 years ago.
I want to try a gyrocopter, but haven't found any place local that can take me up in one.
