  • Today I'm working on a very old carpet sweeper.
    I bought it at the flea market for 20 $.
    It took me 10 days to restore, watch till the end to see this beautiful machine in action.
    Thanks to Electrostatic Magic for send me a new powder coat gun.

    Old carpet sweeper on a new carpet? No man, you need an old carpet to restore, and then combine it together for a full satisfaction 😂.

    That's probably more effective than most carpet sweepers these days. That thing is over 100 years old and is still working like it was yesterday.

    Best part about this channel is that you restore actually old product that were damaged by time, instead of "restoring" items that were purposefully damaged or burried somewhere just to make views like other restoration youtubers do.

    The brush is in surprisingly good condition. Given its age, I assume the bristles are organic rather than synthetic. Either this sweeper wasn’t heavily used or those bristles are made of tough stuff. Delighted to see how well the restored sweeper works! Another superb restoration - thank you!

    Not seen one of those in about 30 years, used a very old one of these, I think c.1918,but also used more modern 1980s versions which were equally ineffective 😂
    The older one seemed to contain a number of gears which would suddenly lock up on you without warning, a few pushes and you ended up with the handle in your stomach 😂
