steven smith 92 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Very nice, I don't think I could pull off those scrolls, but I'll have to try something similar when I refill my propane. Some garage door springs are hollow with nylon or some kind of cord running through them so they don't fly apart when they break, I don't know how common that is but I saw a few like that when researching springs. Did you do much planning before you started working on it? It looks very neatly done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
