Everything wrong with this Bead Roller

الوصف:

In this video I'm showing you all the details on this bead roller, going over each individual part and analyzing whether they are original or not and why, while also inspecting all the fitments and checking its functionality. The bead roller was sent to me by a subscriber from Switzerland; I needed one for a car restoration, so I started restoring it. Unfortunately I couldn't finish it in time, which is why I put the project on hold, but now I finally had the chance to complete it. My plan was to get it working perfectly again while keeping as many original pieces as possible, and to make the new parts match the over 100‑year‑old bead roller. I couldn't find any pictures of this exact roller in its original state, so I searched for antique bead rollers and studied the designs of their handles and screws. There was a lot to design: the crank, the adjuster handle, the thumbscrews, the dead stop, and the pivot guiding screws. Overall I'm very happy with my design choices.
