[TheForge] Triangles

[Michael H. Murphy]

I do pretty well with 1/2" mild steel.  I straightened out a coil spring
from a car one time, and got a really singy sound out of it.  It was whole
lot of work though -- straightening it out, bending it, and trying to temper
it a bit for better sound.  Know anyone who wants a $150 dinner bell?

P.S. Garage door springs can make really good mini-triangles to put on the
dinner table.
