- Building a Damascus lighter in the blacksmith shop. Lots of forge welding and machining to pull this project off.
Lighter is not for sale.

Some of you may recognize this video already, that is because it is a re-upload. It was brought to my attention, that I was causing some consumer confusion and so I have re-edited things to hopefully clear up any confusion. My apologies to you who have already seen it, I'm very proud of this piece and hope that you enjoy the video - maybe even enough to watch it again!
Ok
You re-edited and still couldn't find "AUDIO NORMALIZATION" button in your editing software?
@@hpod3sx agreed, i like his uploads and other youtubers but they all seem to turn the music up to x200% compared to the speaking parts, RIP headphone users, and those trying to relax to our favourite youtubers
I was going to comment didn't you make this already and yes it's interesting enough I watched it again
At 28:00 you can see an Anvil logo, to signify its forged
the reason it took longer to etch it the second time was because it was polished, when steel is polished its essentually REALLY flat and smooth, so it has a lot less pores in the metal, when it was ground with the angle grinder, between the grinding cuts were itty bitty mountains of metal, kinda like if you take your finger nail and slide it across it would make a louder sound because on a very small level theres some raised lines. when there are raised lines its means theres more surface area for the acid to etch, and if a lot of raised lines are shaped like this: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ which it is when grinding, the acidic base can kinda penetrate more. essentially its easier to break off a corner of a mountain than it is to penetrate a perfectly flat surface.
Or just use ferric chloride or muriatic acid..
Hey Timothy. Pleasure watching you work. True inspiration. I have found that blacksmithing and knife making is the one thing that I can say with a clear contious that the end justifies the means. I always get excited when I have a problem or hit a barrier in my projects. Problem solving is a huge part of the appeal and satisfaction. Thanks for sharing.
Stay sharp, forge on brother.
89’ Toyota 4Runner 4WD 5, speed and I love it!!!!
I didn’t know they even came in a 5 speed that’s sick
Oh my goodness, this is so beautiful, simple and effective.
I love your work once again !!
At 4:56 Yes. 1991. I used it for hunting and mining and fishing and a TON of freaking wild adventures in the wild no-road parts of Alaska. I had the head gasket replaced three times; the six cylinder engine really suffered in the early '90's. It is just sitting now, engine blown, waiting for a new home. And a new engine.
So glad this was re-uploaded!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’m not a smoker, but I would totally carry that in my pocket everyday! What a piece of art you have created! You should be very proud of yourself. Great job.
Just don't carry it in the same pocket with keys, a knife, change, or anything that's going to rub the surface over time any more quickly than the pocket cloth itself. Even the cloth of the pocket will eventually polish it again, but it would take decades.
Man I have to say you keep that billet hot and never let it get cold!
How to make a bespoke $2,000.00 lighter in 683 easy steps.
That is absolutley stunning! That feather pattern is spot on. Really seriously awesome work.
Watched this when you posted and watched it again 16 months later...don't worry about making long videos, go for it...I just grab a snack, a bowl of mango slices this time, and relax and watch while munching, a long video gives me that option of a snack, lol....in any case, again, awesome video, awesome lighter....
I read this as Damascus Laughter
*laughs in Damascus*
Is that when you double over from laughing so hard?
A masterpiece ! So perfect ! Congrats .
Oh my god, I am so jealous! I wish I had a lighter like that. I bet it would cost an arm and a leg to have one made considering all that time you guys spent making it. Daaaamn, it's nice.
Amazing job, that machining was a sight to behold!
I'm really impressed how good that turned out.
Wow! That is a priceless piece of art! Well done!!
Absolutely awesome Damascus Lighter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mate this one is worth watching again you and Marten done a perfect job ,maybe one of your best .cheers.
Such a fantastic piece Tim!
Wow, that turned out amazing!
Absolutely beautiful. Anyone who carries a lighter, smoker or not, would be proud to own this work of art.
My 4Runner is circa 2004 (single owner, all original). Great vehicles! Several older models in this area so I get do drool too.
Wow absolutely beautiful!
Amazing content Timothy, high quality camerawork!
The final payoff was so badass! Totally worth the whole video! SWEEET!
Wow.!!
That’s impressive man. Keep em coming dude 👍🏼
I collect vintage lighters, and basically any lighter but zippos.
That said, I want one.
Why not zippos? Are you scared that you will just click around with them all day and notndo anything
@@tumeh7410 No, I play with all my lighters. But Zippos are boring. A 70 year old Zippo is identical to a modern one. The lighters I collect all have unique mechanisms
@@HighOnTacos ok understandable what types of lighters are your favorites btw
@@tumeh7410 The semi-automatic ones are the best. ASR, Elgin American, Thorens, Wright, Imperator to name a few.
@@HighOnTacos those look cool as hell but i could argue that those imperator lighters are like zippos but you only have one button to press so its boring. But still look and propobly feel cool (and zippos are cool too you cant change my mind over it)
Just coming back here to say this was the video that introduced me to you and I love it.
insane project, nice work
Thats fantastic Tim. Well done. In the interest of time could i suggest you try ferric chloride to etch next time. It works so much quicker. Then if you want you can follow it up with a coffee etch later and from what ive seen it darkens the contrast a bit more. With ferric chloride i reckon you will get it done in 20 mins.
Love it the first time will watch it again!
beautiful lighter, amazing work!
Tremendous result!!
Your Damascus lighter sheath is wicked cool. Would love one myself. So cool!
Love the Alec Steele inspired intro. This is the 10th or so time I've seen this. I love blacksmith videos and your work is amazing.
Love Tim's content and creation. I want to feel that satin finish cable damascus flashlight! Do you watch this old tony?
@@congruewoodworks1474 yes I do yes I do also I watch alec steele
No surprise I'm subbed to over 1,845 people on TH-cam
Well Tim this is the 3rd time I have watched this video just saying. I even commented on it last time. Still wish it was for sale.
How you only got 49k sub I have no idea, you are so talented, and do everything totally down to earth, explaining stuff. I can hardly stick weld, a bit co2....but how you use steel is just inspiring. (I am pretty good with wood though....dead tree carcasses as another canuk is saying AvE)
Will keep following your videos
Beautiful , glad I watched!!!!!!!
Very nice. Lot sturdier than a store bought. Great job
This is a absolute pice of art that you have created. The vedio as well is absolutely amazing and the journey to get to the end result of that beautiful lighter
Wow this is the third way of making "zippo" lighter, that I see... Out of sheet metal, casting and this machining...
Result is amazing...
At 28:00 you can see an Anvil logo, to signify its forged
AMAZIN HAND MADE!!! God bless you.......
just watched to fall asleep... finished the video and started the next one good job my brotha
Amaing hard work, truly inspiring!
Beautiful job
Thats sick!
Tim great project looked awesome. Congrats on the new sub numbers. Think last time I commented your were around 3000. Way to go .
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome lighter youve got there, Sir!
Love it mate keep up the good work
I watched buckin's video and decided to subscribe to your channel, glad I did. I usually pass on Damascus projects but decided to tune in on this, I have to say, that is an amazing turn out, you and Martin nail this
I've got an '89 5 speed as well, and i also LOVE IT!
Great video! Worth the sub and watch!
could've made like a sick bowie knife with all that material... but i appreciate that you took the safe way and decided to make something that you could have multiple trys with.
Brilliant!
That is absolutely beautiful !! Would look great lighting my cigars
Love all your videos 😎
I never thought about doing this before hmmm I might try this
The power hammer sounds to me like a large, excitable dog; *huffa!* *huffa!* Also, great work, I love your damascus steel projects.
Last of 28 minutes was excellent
My first car here in MN was a 1993 Toyota Camry...ran it til the day that literally the wheels fell off, over 300,000mi. I bet if we found the scrapyard it ended up in that if we bring some new gas and oil it'd fire right up today. I also drove a 1998 Toyota Tacoma to 299,000mi. Sold it to a friend fir $1,000...hes still drivin it around WI. The Tacoma (and as Ive heard, 4Runner too) had some issues with weight and balance and traction but if you take care of them they will run forever.
Duuuuuude! Gorgeous
Beautiful!
Beautiful lighter.
If that ain't a grand slam I don't know what is. Super nice ! ! ! !
Consumer confusion? I’m new to your channel yesterday, great job mate, so beautiful of a lighter!
Looks freakin amazing
Very nice!!🔥⚒💪🏻
I have a 2001 4runner trd supercharged, my 5th 4runner, definitely a huge fan
Really great work ! have u ever considered machining your own hinge on there. The flimsy zippo hinge doesnt hold extra weight to well.
I love the first hit after you put borax on an it goes shooting to the sides feom the power hammer. Man whatba beautiful light. Killer job. An how many times did you stack it. The more the better the pattern. Killer job.
Super cool! God bless!
This is one of the coolest custom zippo’s I’ve ever seen
nice work Tim even its rerun i had a question for can i dip a silver in the coffee and i can get the same result?
Great job u guys
I love how u always want things square
Worlds most expensive lighter. Good job guys
realy awsome damascus zippo great job ;)
Amazing job ,on the top of it I noticed it looks like a small Anvil shape ,at 28.01 mins exactly you can see it 😂.🇮🇪👍🇮🇪Just thought I would mention and if you think so too.🇮🇪🇮🇪
Why was this Re-uploaded?
Just pinned a comment at the top explaining things a bit! Cheers!
I'll take 2, please, Sir!
That was sweet.
You have the potential to blow up and get so big its crazy. Your videography is just excellent, and your skill shows in every piece I watch you make! I really wish I could blow you up to a mil for sure, but sadly I can't.
Wow, thank you! Super kind.
wow, amazing
Would you ever consider making pruning sheers, kinda like a bonsai sheer? That would be cool to see
Wow. Result! I’d be mad proud to turn out something that perfect units finished state. Do you have a rough build time in hours and also a cost? It would be a plenty exxy lighter up there with the rarest zippo’s at a guess. Nice work Men 👍🏽
8:45
when you try impress someone at a disco but you cant dance
That came out so beautiful. I wish I had the money to pay you to make me one like that.
Love it... WANT IT...
watching ya put the rivets in was...riveting.
I'm sure the etching delay was caused by the high protective polish
Just curious, can this kind of lighter be made by stamping out the two lighter pieces from a Damascus sheet using forged dies of required shape. This is mainly to avoid the milling part?
great job..
Magnificent.
Where can I buy it?
That looks awesome, you have a ton of hours in it l am sure .l would love to own it, but I am sure l can't afford it.
I was really enjoying the video until 5:00 minutes, now I desperately want to know the story! It’s all I can think about, I won’t sleep tonight or any other night until I know THE STORY!!
The lighter was beyond beautiful, absolutely stunning, talk about the "Wow" factor! I think it’s one of the best pieces I’ve seen on TH-cam. Please can I ask why you didn’t use ferric chloride or muriatic acid before the coffee?
TELL THE DAMNED STORY!
I really love your videos. I wish more people would see it. In my opinion it's better the alec steele. Thank
So much better! Alec left his soul in the UK. Timothy is a rockstar, and such an awesome genuine guy
@@JoburgNinja alec is really good, but in the last few years he's focused way too much on blades and weapons
i like both same. alec is more the partyguy and timothy js the calm guy. but all in all the make both good work
everyone likes who he wants
@@thatguywiththeblueberrypie9594 I don't mind the blades and the work Alec does is impressive, but his old workshops seemed to have more of a soul.
Don't get me wrong, his vlogs are great, but the spirit of them has changed.
Good things come to those who wait grow some patience and you'll see it the same time the rest of us will
