Straightening the spring using the weight of a cement mixer truck for three days failed to even make the slightest difference. thank you for all your help guys. ile revise my plans and accommodate the curve in the spring.

thanks blackbeard.

thank you all very much for your suggestions. i think the best way to tackle this situation is to just leave it as is, without the neccessity of hardening and tempering.

thanks for that. i wasn't sure whether the heating of it would reduce the "spring" in the steel. thanks again.

Hi guys i am endeavouring to make my version of the rusty/dusty/krusty power hammer and i am asking you how do i straighten the leaf spring? the sprig is in 5 separate sections at the moment due to cleaning off all the scale rust. their clean and ready to be straightened. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
