In this video I'm showing you all the details on this bead roller. Going over each individual part and analyzing if they are original or not and why. Also inspecting all the fitments and checking its functionality.

This bead roller was sent to me by a subscriber from Switzerland. I knew I needed a bead roller for the car restoration, that's why I started restoring it. Unfortunately I couldn't finish it in time and that's why I put this project on hold. Now it was the time to finally finish it.

My plan was to get it completely perfectly working again, but at the same time keep as many original pieces as possible. The goal was also to make the new pieces match the over 100 years old bead roller. Unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures of this exact bead roller how it originally looked. I just searched for antique bead rollers and looked at designs of handles and screws these had. There was a lot to design: the crank, the adjuster handle, the thumbscrews, the dead stop, the pivot guiding screws.

Overall I'm very happy with my design choices. Be sure to check the full restoration video on my main channel and let me know your thoughts on it in the comments.
