1763 Barrel Band Spring Repair

[FlinterNick]

Small job, right as rain.

I’m casting copies of these, i keep getting requests for barrel band springs.

Very nice welding work on such a delicate part. How do you think the weld will hold up? BTW nice torch.

I'd like to see how you are going to cast this part.

Welds on barrel band Springs hold up just fine with a full temper, and there isn’t that much tension on these.

I forge them out of garage door springs, never have had one fail (knock on wood).
