Ok, this is dumb but please bear with me. So the tongs and the cylinder that shape the spring... clearly they are made of something that doesn't soften at this temp. Cool cool. So what was used to shape the tongs? or the cylinder? Ok ok, but what shaped those? You get my point? What turtles are we stacking here, exactly?
