Step 9The Springs
While the glues drying, I'll take some time to quickly go over Luxo Jr's springs.
As an anglepoise lamp, he has four different springs. Two of them connect his Neck together to his upper Mid Joint, and his other two connect his Z bracket to his Leg Joints. Both are extension springs, meaning they are designed to stretch when Luxo Jr is flexed.
Now, to save money, I used the same extension springs as the one my lamp originally came with. I merely cut it into a smaller shape (1'' across for me) and bent a loop at the end using a pair of pliers. I made two of these for the straight bracket.
For the inner, shorter springs, which connects the Z bracket to the Leg Joints, I just used a rubber band. It was really small, so they worked the best.
