1960s Buddy L Merry Go Round Carousel Pickup Truck Toy Restoration

I purchased this 1960s Buddy L Merry Go Round Carousel Pickup Truck on the Facebook Exchange May of 2021 for $30. This poor truck was in terrible shape, it had spots of heavy rust, Missing parts of the carousel, a horse, the center tube and a wheel. The gear set to drive the merry go round was actually missing a couple teeth before I ended up breaking it worse when taking it apart. Overall this was an extremely fun project, I got to create a few new injection molds, played with epoxy resin pouring, even though the horses didn't come out the way I wanted them to. I ran out of time to give it a second go, I actually finished this video around 1pm on the 25th Christmas Day and didn't want to miss posting it so I went with the used set of horses that I had in my collection. This was a fun project and I really enjoy how it came out. Thank you for watching!

Another amazing restoration sir. You have my complete respect. Your work brings back childhood memories of us oldies when we were kids. The injection mold fabrication for the plastic parts was hypnotic. I was wondering how replacement parts are made for restoration projects, and now I know. I have experience using RTV (silicone) molds, and to prevent air entrapment issues, I would suggest using a disposable fine tip irrigation syringe to fill the leg areas. With the syringe tip at the bottom of the mold, start filling as you pull the syringe to the top of the leg, then put the mold together and fill the rest. Hope that helps and thank you for keeping the past alive!

Chip, you need a 3 piece mold for the horse, the parting lines are down the middle (like your attempt), and at the belly. So, the body from the belly up is 2 mold halves split down the middle, and the legs have their own mold piece from the belly to the hoofs. Put 4 gates in the leg piece so the resin enters at the bottom of the hoofs. Shoot the resin into two of the gates (either the front or rear legs, or both legs on one side) and keep pumping until it comes out of the other two gates. Put the entire mold full of liquid resin into the vacuum chamber and draw out any air bubbles or pockets.

Possibly you might want to spray some mold release into the mold components before you inject...... It would probably make it a lot easier to extract the item from the mold.

So many processes, so much effort, so much satisfaction. Thank you! One tip I use for mold making is to draw a vacuum with my vacuum chamber. It draws out any remaining air in the mold. As there is a good head of resin in the center well, the level of the resin drops slightly as it continues to fill the spindly bits like the legs and tail and head.

Amazing work! I really couldn’t believe the toy you started with could be salvaged, but you did it! With the resin, I’m certainly no expert, but from other artists I’ve seen I think a few tweaks to the mold would help your casts come out cleaner. First, you want each half of the silicone mold to really latch together, both to make sure things line up exactly and to keep the halves tight enough that you don’t get the resin leaking out. When you poured the first half of the silicone, had you added Legos or something to create perforations (for lack of a better term) and then removed them before pouring the second half, you would automatically create interlocking nubs of silicone to help hold the pieces together. Also, I’m not sure whether you’re using a mold release gel on the silicone, but that would also help the resin release cleanly after curing. I’m not sure if I explained that very clearly, but I hope it’s helpful!

I have gotten to the point where I try to guess how you are going to repair or recreate the unique details of each toy. I’m probably the last person to ask, but I assume duplicating the horses would be easier on a 3-D printer, which are not yet in everyone’s budget to purchase. Otherwise, I have no idea! 😉.

As a rule, don’t use rubber bands to hold together flexible silicone molds. Certainly not ones with as much tension as you had there. All you want to do is press the two halves of the mold together, but rubber bands apply forces from all around the “ring” made by the band. This can make each half of the silicone mold bow out in the center, and give excessive flashing like you had there. Just like with your injection molding machine, you want to clamp the mold halves together firmly but without distorting them. As for the resin not getting into the horses legs, part of that is mold design and gating, part of that is using too thick of a resin (and making it thicker with powders instead of thinner with liquid dyes), and not putting the mold in a vacuum to pull the air pockets out.

@duygukayhanisaskank4915 2 жыл бұрын

In my opinion, the issue that caused the horses to not mold as well as they should have is the use of rubber bands. Another means of holding the two-piece mold together needs to be used. Also...once the 2 halves are joined...I would tap it a few times on ALL 4 SIDES to help the resin "settle" in those hard-to-reach areas; REGARDLESS of what shape is being molded. Still, the legs & hoofs of these little horses would be very difficult to do well. I honestly don't believe the viscosity of the resin used to mold the horses was a factor causing the poor quality results. But it's important to consider this in all molding efforts. Respectfully, Ben

@LizMatzelle 2 жыл бұрын

@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 My thinking is, the thinner the viscocity of the resin, the easier it is for the trapped air down in the bottom of those legs to get out. Since he didn’t use the vacuum, you only have the pressure of the air at atmosphere to “push” up through the resin. Thinner would make that easier, in the same way that a bubble of air rises faster through a soda than it does through molasses. And keep in mind that thinner resins also have less surface tension, and the air trapped in the bottom needs to overcome the surface tension of the incoming resin in order to even begin to push past it.

@duygukayhanisaskank4915 2 жыл бұрын

@@LizMatzelle I agree that a "thinner" resin would easily fill the voids in the mold. But the end result would (most likely) yield a poor quality reproduction. In this case, the original...the horse...had thin features in the legs & hoofs. The quality of the mold & the viscosity of the resin is not the main issue. It is the "thin" features of the legs & hoofs of the horse used to create the mold. To maintain a quality reproduction, the resin must be "somewhat" thick. As you likely know, there is a fine line between making the resin mixture too thin or too thick...in such reproductions. Respectfully, Ben

@LizMatzelle 2 жыл бұрын

@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 I have never seen data that says that a thin resin cannot dry as hard and strong as a thick resin. Keep in mind I am NOT talking about altering the mixing ratios of a given resin, I am talking about choosing a resin that is designed to be a lower viscocity when properly mixed. As an example, TotalBoat MakerPoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP and a cured tensile strength of 5,400psi. TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP (exactly the same) and a cured tensil strength of 7,400psi. Both very thick, high viscocity resins, super wide spread in terms of strength. To compare to a thinner viscocity resin, TotalBoat High Performance epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 600cP and a cured tensile strength of 7,300psi, effectively the same strength as tabletop but a MUCH thinner viscocity resin. It’s about choosing the right resin for the project, both in terms of viscocity AND strength, but you can find any combination of particulars you are looking for.

In the vague reaches of my memory regarding your horse moulding. I don’t remember how to fix it, but the problem with the legs was likely air trapped in the channels. The silicone (?) couldn’t run into the legs due to air trapped in there. An air escape hole out the bottom, I suppose. You probably worked that out for yourself though. Good luck with future pours. Practice & research! neither of which i have the patience for anymore 😜 Still waiting for sheep merch! Just a mug A precious little mug with I’m OK and a bunch of sheep doing something dumb on it. 🥺 ☕️ 🐑

Total Awesomeness Chip. One of your best, keep them coming. When you were setting in a screw and a tiny bit of red paint developed a splinter I found myself blowing wind at it, sorry, I was concentrating so much into helping, lolol. Love your work and dedication, you are awesome too. 👌👍👏😉🏅🏆

Vintage 3D Printing AKA Injection Molding 😄 Reminds me of my mom's job when I was a kid. It was fascinating to see a cup full of plastic pellets turn into a plastic glass or bowl. Don't have any of the bowls left but she still has a couple of the glasses and that was 35yrs ago.

Awesome! I've been waiting for this one since I spotted it in the background. Not much left of the original, but you brought it back like new anyway. Splendid job.

I remember playing with one of these when I was about four . It was in 1967 and it was at the start of the infant school . Brought back memories some of them good 😜

I have waited sooooooo long for this toy! And it's even better than I had imagined. Thank you for being you! It was a joy to watch.

That was astounding! You really had to work for that one, wow! As for the horses, you might try pouring each half of the mold separately, lying on their sides, then joining the two halves together. You'd probably have to sand the middle side of each half a little to make them perfectly flat for joining, but it should work... Thanks for this blood, sweat, and tears episode! You did a stellar job, as usual... P.S. I love the vintage 3D printer!

I heard you are also a neurosurgeon, a rocket scientist, and a gourmet chef, all in your spare time. Is there anything you DON'T do? So impressive, and done with such joy and love!
