Video Description
In this video, I restored a damaged antique hand truck made in Germany in the 1920s-'30s. More about the restoration: I found this piece online on an auction site. I liked how it looked, and I think it was a good idea to dedicate almost two weeks to restoring/rescuing it. When it arrived, I thought I would have to completely rebuild the wooden structure, but I noticed that it was still in reasonably good shape and that the inside was not rotten, so I decided to treat it and restore it with a lot of patience and care. After that, I had to return the yellow paint that had been wiped off over time and re-engrave the company name and the metallic ID tag with the Longer Laser B1 40W (44-48W Output Power); more about this machine: https://bit.ly/46kJj7K The most challenging part was to revive the tires. I wanted to keep them because we can't find such tires anymore, and they give personality to this antique hand truck. For cleaning, I used my sandblaster with glass beads of 0.11 mm. This process took me many hours, but it had to be done this way to preserve all the inscriptions from the rubber tires, and it worked! After that, I had to apply a special spray that helped preserve and restore the rubber's shine. All the metallic parts were cleaned with a laser cleaner. Please ask me if you have any questions about what I used and why! I answer them all! Cheers! Johnny.
