Passing on Childhood Memories - Restoration of 60's German Tricycle

#restoration #puky #dreirad

In this restoration video I restore an old tricycle from the german brand "Puky" from the 60s. I myself had as a child such a trike and have collected beautiful childhood memories with it. Now I wanted to take the opportunity and pass on these childhood memories, because I will be in the next few days the first time uncle, because my brother is expecting a baby boy. The antique kids toy was very rusty and incomplete.
As usual, I started the restoration by completely unscrewing the Puky Dreirad as it is called in Germany. After I had all the parts separately in front of me, I sandblasted the metal parts.
After sandblasting I repainted the frame parts and the wheels.
I sanded the remaining metal parts from 80-400 grit and then nickel plated them.
Most of the work on this project was on the saddle. First, I built a bench seat from a multiplex board, which I then upholstered with foam. As a cover I chose red leatherette, which I provided in my first sewing attempt with decorative stitching and underlaid with a thin sheet of foam.
The cover turned out very nice and fits the design of the 60s.
The missing handles and pedals I replicated with the help of my buddy Sven and his girlfriend Anne via 3D printing.
Finally, I redesigned the original puky logo and had it printed on stickers.
The result is a beautiful tricycle that I can give to my brother and his girlfriend for their birth.
I look forward to seeing the little one on the tricycle and wish my brother with his little family all the best for the future.
