1950s Hand Strength Trainer "Vipody" - Restoration
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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 !

I have never seen a hand strength trainer like that before. You did a great job of restoring it to working order, and it looks much better too. It lights up when the "needle" touches the screw on the indicator dial. Excellent work.

I have a modern one that is simply a big hard coiled spring with hard plastic handles. Actually helps with the pain I have in my elbows. This one was way more complicated than I thought possible. Great to see you restore it and how much used to go into making what we think of today as a basic hand strengthening tool/toy.

Vipody was manufactured in the mid 1960s in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy by my grandfather's brother. His name was Ivo Demenego, and he had a wrought and ornamental iron company. I never understood why he decided to make Vipody, but it was that little company's only product. I had one for awhile but somehow disappeared. Funny to see one now. Thanks for the video.

Votre, chaine est assez unique en son genre, même si d'autres font de la restauration, parfois truquée pour certains. Chez vous, ce n'est pas le cas. En plus, j'admire toujours l'originalité des objets "réanimés" ! Bonne continuation !

My grandfather (who passed away in late 2021), always had a usual type of hand trainer on hand (pardon the pun) if he has time to exercise. I wonder what his reaction is if he saw that kind of trainer & his grip strength on the dial if he's still alive
