All right, I don't know how I've missed posting in this one for over a month now....
Two fun projects for the price of one! (I'm glad to see that 365 found a good home!)
Stevenski my friend, I always enjoy watching you detail a build. You never cease to surprise with new and resourcefull ideas- that manage to work!
CeeElle- I am happy as always to help, and it's good to hear that someone occasionally gets something out of my ramblings.
Next time you wind springs, here's the technique I use: I cut three lengths of winding wire, and wind them each around a suitable diameter piece of telescoping brass or aluminum tubing, so there's no space between them. Then pick one of them and carefully unwind it from the tube, leaving the other two undisturbed. Slide the remaining two off of the tubing, and carefully untwist them from each other. Done right it gives you two coils, with consistent and correct spacing. Maybe I'll do a how to, but hopefully my description makes sence.
