Two mandrels – one partly machined in the lathe, one original from an old shock absorber
On the 100‑year‑old Wolf Jahn lathe we see two mandrels:
The first is already in the lathe chuck and partly machined. It will later connect the hinge of the door.
The second mandrel lies beneath it. Both have a special story. They come from old shock absorbers from my car.
The German TÜV no longer approved these shock absorbers. So I dismantled them and reused the piston (the mandrel). So ... Direct recycling ♥
Worn‑out car parts thus become a high‑precision component for the restored front door.
No path is too long, no material too strange – as long as the idea is right.
