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.
