Spring-Smith
spring-smithing was originally a branch of the blacksmith’s trade-skills.
a spring-smith is the person who puts the force of resilience into the pre-formed-spring-shape :
by heating it; and cooling it very slowly:
in a very-care-fully-controlled-manner.
the traditional method was to heat the forged mild steel up to a pale-cherry-red colour; and immersing it in almost-boiling oil;which was then very slowly cooled in a pit; in a packed-straw or hay-insulated box; which was then covered in hot sand to retain the heat.
a fire would then be lit on top of the sand, to keep it hot for a week, or as long as required.
warning !!! especially at the moment of immersion :
this traditional method includes a high fire risk.
it should only ever be attempted out-doors, by professionals, who have good fire-fighting equipment nearby, and the skills to use it safely.
” take those old cart-springs down to the spring-smith; and have them re-boinged! “
