Step 1: The spring rod
Warning: The spring rod can bite if you play with it! I have a blood blister where the washer caught the tip of my finger. This is not much of an issue when the unit is completed, but please use caution.

What you need:
1 treaded rod
2 washers
1 spring (or two of the short springs)
1 wing nut

What to do:
Assemble onto the rod: Wing nut > washer > spring (or two springs) > washer

What you need for the updated version:
1 treaded rod
1 washer
1 short spring
1 long spring
1 wing nut
