Springs - looking for some idea's

admin

I pick up a small bunch of these springs from work. Any thought's on projects I can incorporate them into. The couple that came to mind were a sprung stool, or animal rocker ride for the yutes."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:Weld an old steel tractor seat to the top, a plate and truck rim to the bottom and you have a springy-stool for the shop.

Reply:Iv'e seen guys take springs and use them to tension cables and give them a spring action.  You will sometimes see a manufactured version on cables used for highway medians where teh spring absorbs the impactI was thinking they would be good for a gun target.  Weld a piece of AR plate on top.  Put a flag pole so when you hit them you should get the noise and see the flag waving.
Reply:Toss it in your forge and straighten it out. Should make excellent material for new forged tongs. Note quenching is probably a BAD idea..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:you could stack a bunch of them in the right sized diameter of pipe.    Then put a golf ball, or harpoon on top.    Then compress them.   Then need to figure out some way to hold and release the load.
Reply:Originally Posted by gxbxcThose spring are only 6" high it will be a really low stool . But on a monday night at Sam's place no one would get hurt falling of the bar stool!
Reply:Cool find I'm sure you will find something to do with em!!!
Reply:They might be equipment isolators without the top and bottom mounting plates that have a recess that they fit into. They look pretty ridged.You could cut them into rings and make the wife or girlfriend a necklace, use the rings for eyes on a shovel for yard art,  pawns for a BIG chess set, maybe a yard art heavy duty sunflower flower that you need a crane to set  or arms or legs for something.
