This video demonstrates the process of fabricating custom helper springs using music wire, primarily for an aircraft brake master cylinder issue. The author, Mark Serbu, details the steps involved in winding springs around a mandrel, cutting them to size, and heat-treating them. While the primary application is for an airplane, the techniques shown are applicable to creating custom springs for various mechanical needs, including firearm components.

Master Gunsmith Jack Rowe demonstrates the intricate process of crafting a replacement lever spring for firearms. This expert-level guide covers identifying different spring types, selecting appropriate materials like 3/32 flat spring steel, and employing precise techniques involving heating, bending, and hammering to achieve a functional and durable component. Rowe emphasizes when it's more practical to purchase a spring versus undertaking a custom fabrication.
