  11. so ....all the springs cut and shaped by hand....then into the fire to harden temperature and quench in oil...............clean off and anneal...to spring temperature (blueish)....then clean up again and get the thickness spot on.........the spring needs to be a bit smaller than the tools so the riverts hold the tools snug and the spring is free to move and hold a bit of oil.. then clean and polish and ready to fit/assemble //
