I have not so thank you for bringing it to my attention. In no shape or form do I have experience with springs, especially how to make them, so I've been researching them which led me here. With that in mind I probably won't be pursuing spring use in my project. Not sure what you're referring...

In the simplest form yes though I'm not looking for the springs to do all of the work nor do they seem possible to do so. I would have the springs attached to something which would be held on the back and held down by a belt of some sort. When the belt is released, I would like them to simply...

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean I may want to work on making the arms with springs but focus on just having them be stable or to not use springs at all? If with springs, wouldn't the same issues be present or does creating springs with the ability to spring out make it that much more complex...

Thanks for the input. I haven't figured out what the diameter of the wire itself would need to be though I know the two bottom arms would need to be heavier than the top. I would need the springs to hold itself in shape with fabric being wrapped around it. Fabric wouldn't be too heavy, least...
