Metal conservation

[Darren Wright]

I wasn’t sure where to put this since the original topic is gunsmithing, but I’ve been watching several of Mark Novak’s YouTube videos. This specific video was on metal conservation techniques, which I thought might apply well to those that have old hand tools and do machinery restoration. Certainly worth the watch…

In one of his other videos, he's talking about coil springs. I've always had the idea in my head that I need to shorten s spring to make it lighter, but apparently that is quite the opposite, they get stiffer. Learn something new every day.
