THE PART
The part that met the ground first, every time.
A bucket wears from the inside out — the floor polishes, the side plates thin, the teeth blunt asymmetrically depending on how the operator worked. We take buckets at the end of tooth life, when that record is at its most complete.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Teeth are deburred to safe radii without recutting the profile, the interior is degreased through the wear bowl, and the shell is set on a low blackened cradle so the glass clears the tooth tips by twelve millimetres.
We take the part from a documented source and assess its condition.
We remove grease, loose corrosion and everything that does not belong to the future object.
We reinforce the structure, smooth the contact zones and design a stable base.
We keep the authentic patina, seal the steel and fit the glass.
We number the piece and issue the certificate of transformation.

DELIVERY & INSTALLATION
Because of the mass, quotation covers dedicated transport, carry-in and — depending on the model — on-site glass installation. Cost depends on location and access conditions.
