1960's Tool Cart Restoration - Forgotten and Swamped!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video, I restored a vintage tool cart that was once used by a mechanic in the 60s in the assembly industry. This restoration project was both challenging and rewarding, culminating in a fully functional piece ready for use again.
More details about the tool cart:
This particular model, manufactured in 1966, hails from Sochaczew, Poland, where it was used in a factory's assembly department. The exact nature of what was assembled remains a mystery, though the factory building still stands. The cart had endured years outdoors, severely weathered by time and recently by the Boris cyclone, which left it swamped with water.
The restoration took 19 days, part of which involved constructing a room for a mobile sandblaster-a process that itself took a few days. The cart’s parts, including the cast iron wheels, were heavily damaged by water and time. One rear wheel was chipped, which I managed to weld, but the front wheel was beyond repair and replaced with a new one made of stainless steel.
At the video's conclusion, I demonstrate how the cart now operates flawlessly and has become my number one assistant in the workshop. If you're curious to learn more about this beautiful vintage mechanic's tools cart and see it in action, I encourage you to watch the full video. Should you have any questions or wish to share your thoughts, please leave a comment-I'll be eager to respond!
Cheers, Johnny.

Hi folks! The cyclone is gone, and the rust too, and from all this story I've got a restored cart! Iuhuu! 😂 I hope you will enjoy the video! Thank you for your support! Enjoy watching! Johnny
Hello. I am intrigued by your videos. I often wonder how long it takes you to sandblast your parts you are restoring?
Great video and restoration as always. Loved this as it reminds me of the ‘Hazet Assistant’ tool trolleys.
It depends on how big they are and how rusty. But usually, it is a very time-consuming process. Can take a few hours to days.
отличная работа друг!
Nooo, ive just ordered a cyclone.. are they no good? What camera do you use for your wide angled? Loving the vids, some great restos 👍♥️
No annoying music, no excessive talking, just enjoyable relaxing content. Thank you for sharing your skill with us.
Yes very good.
Glad you enjoyed it
I always love imagining the original makers of things like these, watching a video like this to see how carefully you restore their work. I like to imagine they'd feel so happy seeing their work taken care of with such love.
Really Old One Nice🤟👑
На вашу работу можно смотреть бесконечно! Завораживает! А результат великолепный!
Great shop assistant. Fantastic work. You saved that piece before it became too far gone.
Thank you. Indeed, it will be very useful in my shop. 🙂
WOW. You have an assistant for life. They don't make EM like they used to EH. What a nice rig
Mam dziewczynę z Sochaczewa i aż zajrzałem na Płocką 46. Budynek stoi. Fajny wózek z gomułkowskiej ery. Dobra robota. Szacun...
Cieszę się, że film Ci się spodobał. Ciekawi mnie co montowali w tym budynku, fajnie byłoby się dowiedzieć!

I love how you make a new part and yet purposely avoid the phrase 'I make a new one'. That's respect right there
Absolutely 😀
Nice. I hope some guy in Poland is watching and says I had a tool cart just like that in the 1960's
That will be something 🙂
Lol "My father/grandfather had one of these back when he was a blahblahblahblah" - every restoration comment section
You are a true artist! Everything you repair is a masterpiece when you are done. Is there anything you cannot repair!??

1:47 Careful tilting that thing! You wouldn't want the water to... spill out...
Wonderful job. Always so thorough and you do things the right way. You are my favorite TH-cam Restoration Channel by far.
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome restoration. Somebody beat the stuffing out of that cart in only 25 years.
I am now covetous of your cart - great job! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Yay, thank you!
This is a great cart! Excellent assistant.
Excellent job there Mr. Rusty Shades 👊👊👊. Quite a 'large' undertaking, even If there wasn't too many parts. Still a lot of stuff to put straight. Well done and thanks for sharing 🙏. 😎
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you! 🙂
Отличный у вас получился помощник!
Я так рада этой новой вещи,как будто я ее приобрела!
Спасибо за видео.
Я рад, что вам понравилось! Спасибо большое!
Fantastic job you got. Keep working on it!
Thanks, will do!
One of my favourite restoration channels. Thank you for the hard work.
Thank you so much!
Ok. I didn’t think it would. But again. Surprised me. Great job. Loved the result.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great craft cart. Saved from the dump!!!!
Wonderful restoration ❤ what a sandblasting!
Thank you!
Greetings to you and for your great efforts, because you love your work, you are creative and masterful of it, as well as a greeting to the Polish people who, whenever you read his history in the request for freedom at that time, I adore him, greetings to you from Baghdad / Iraq 🇮🇶
Thank you so much! I'm very happy to know that! Greetings! Johnny
this is a real restoration , lot of the content provided by others looks like they just buried for a few days and dug it up!
Thank you for observing that and for watching my videos.
Came out beautiful. Some rubber or plastic sheets in the trays would be the only addition. Keep it looking shiny longer.
Nice job. That will be useful for years to come.
Great idea!
Thankfully, Poland has shaken off Soviet quality control (and the Soviets), and are making the amazing products they're historically known for. Great work on saving this useful cart from the old days sir, Looks great!
Your videos are always interesting, informational and fun to watch.
Glad you think so!
What a cool little cart! Nice job restoring it.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
Ficou ótimo!
Mais um ótimo trabalho!!
Parabéns! 🎉
Obrigado! 🙂
That is a pretty clever cart design. I like it :)
Glad you like it!
Очень милые артефакты прошлого. Не переставайте удивлять.
Thanks for the didium screen for the welding
Beautiful restoration job you did on the Mechanic's tool cart. It looks much better than before and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Yes, it does! Thank you very much!
Thumbs up for including the proggressive drilling and for 2 days of sandblasting. May add some rubber mat lining to the top layer so your tools dont rattle and shift?? Up to you, just an idea 💡. Great video!
Outstanding work. We have Hurricane Milton bearing down on us here in Florida and it has a lot of people very worried. Your videos are helping my daughter and me focus on far more positive and hopeful things. Liked and subscribed, my man!!
Thank you! Stay safe! 🫶
Great job once again, I really enjoyed this one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done! Bravo 👏
Good work 👏
Thank you so much!
A beautiful job well done u did a awesome job on it nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 🙂
Nice restoration 👏👏
Glad you like it! 😀
Pretty Cool!! Well done!
That was a great restoration and a definite handy one! Fantastic job as always !🫶🏻from 🇦🇺
Thank you very much!
Great job! A nice addition to any workshop.
It sure is! Thanks!
The original manufacturer's tag was cool. Nicely done. 👍
Indeed. It was nice to know a bit more about it. 😀
Great job, that pump came in handy.
Thanks buddy!
Best restoration work
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Beautifully restored . . .
Glad you liked it
Cold Beers! 🍻
Very nice work. It was worth the wait.
Glad you think so!
Классная реставрация, отличный помошник. Видос понравился, безо всякого мыла. Спасибо, лайк🙏.
You keep multiple blast guns due to various work to use quickly. Nicely
Великолепное преображение -- БРАВО ,
🙏
Beautiful work!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
WOW! I can actually use something like this..
Fantastic!
This is a really well done restoration. The only improvement I would suggest would be adding a new quick link to the end of the chain instead of just closing the old one with pliers.
Nice one. Looks good.😊😊
Thank you!
Nice video. Enjoyed watching it.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I liked the way you didn't restore to perfection but instead gave it a more realistic as-new finish.
I'm glad that you observed that. Many get used to other channels to smooth out everything and they come here and perform criticism after seeing 3 videos. They don't get that some marks are as beautiful as some wrinkles on an old person's face and that they can tell so much about the history of the item. I'll keep it this way, trying to not make things newer than they ever were before. Cheers! Johnny
Great job. Love your videos.
So glad! Thank you!
Good job mister well done
Thank you so much!
1:32 Storm Soup with extra rust, my favorite!
😆
Klasse Kompliment 👍👍👍
You forgot to sandblast "Subscribe" 😉
I love this channel
Glad to know that! 🥰
Nice restoration! Wish I had one of those. :)
Thank you very much!
J’ai beaucoup aimé comme toujours mais j’ai l’impression que les vidéos sont de plus en plus court et expéditifs, personnellement j’aimerais que ce soit plus lent et aller plus dans les détails. Merci pour le partage 👍
Wow, semplicemente straordinario 🤩❤️👍
Grazie mille! 🙂
You had to dirty up your water pump? You couldn't just carry it outside and dump it? Lol. Seriously, great work!
👍👍 wow! Wie neu, gute Arbeit❤🇦🇹
Danke!
Huch... mein Baujahr der Kasten 😊solche Kur bräuchte ich auch mal 😉
1966 What a great year 🎉
Why?
@@rustyshadesrestoration Year i was made ! 😂
Nice job
Thanks!
First i saw Toolcart and thought mwoah then i saw Roomsize sandblaster and shouted WOW 👍
That was awesome! 👍🏻 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good!
I'm from Americana SP Brasil.
świetna robota kolego. Mam nadzieję, że nie ucierpiałeś w niedawnych powodziach. 🖐
Dziękuję! Pozdrawiam
Beautiful!!! Love it!!! 👍🇵🇹
Thank you! Obrigado! 😀
You look like a Big Daddy from Bioshock in the sandblasting room 😂
😂😂😂
No Brasil este modelo de carrinho foi muito usado na década de 80. Meu pai tinha um na oficina
Very nice!
Glad you like it! 🙂
Süper work brother ❤
Thanks 🔥
I just went on a site called Le Monde after you mentioned the storm and it showed Prague?? I am not %100 sure of that. I feel for you Man and hope your Family is well. I live in an area of the World where we do not get hit by major storms like a hurricane or tornado. Eastern Canada. Nova Scotia. I am sure you created a fantastic video, I think I will watch it now.
Thank you. We are all fine now, but yes, the cyclone did a bit of damage in Central Eastern Europe.
Bien echo hermano!
Gracias! ✌️
Very cool
that so cute 😍 like a toy
Your assistant is very pretty
Yes, it is! Thanks!
Needs giant googly eyes!
Hahaha 😁
I rmember those toolcars made by GEDORE in Germany nice restoration
I can't get over the water pump. 🙃
This was a great save! Loved the bright colour too😍 I was wondering if you'd make replacement divider inserts for the second drawer? Looks like there are slots in the sides to fit?? Anyway - it is great to see something so practical back in the workshop!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, you are right there are slots, but I prefer it without for now. First I need to decide what tools I'll keep on it and I didn't have time for that yet. If necessary I will add a few. 🙂 Thank you!
진짜 대단하네
감사합니다! 변신이 마음에 드셨다니 다행입니다.
How did you spent on this restoration,
a week?
19 days 😃
Wow... i can't do this cause of expensive various chemicals...
I attempted to restore my old video game console 5 yrs ago and it worked 😄
The whole thing seems very awkward and heavy. What in the world can it be used for ?
Probably in the automotive industry.
The 3-wheel design does not seem to be super stable, but the restoration went really well.
عمل رائع😍
If he's going to be an assistant, why not give him a name I vote Jerry
Good idea! 🙂
Why not add rubber mats so your tools don't rattle? Nice work on getting this cart sorted, especially the wheels
I was thinking about that too. I have some in my shop, so I will try to see how it goes. Thanks! 🙂
Had to write that pump off on your taxes huh 😂. Smart
Was that a plastic epoxy you used to mount the rubber to the metal wheels? I love that color of blue, great restoration!
Yes it was. Thank you!
