1950s Hand Strength Trainer "Vipody" - Restoration

Here is a new video !!

This is a rare vintage hand strength trainer from the brand Vipody. I don't have more info about that object.
It comes from the 50's.
I though it would be an easy project but I spent 3 weeks on that one :)
It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted.
The whole item was fully riveted so I had to disassemble it then make new rivets.
I love that object and I realize now that I need to practice :)
Please watch till the end to see this rare hand strength trainer in action !

By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.

I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.

Thanks a lot for watching !
