@@thatonedodge your stupid he made a hole in it and you say he fixed it by putting a seal on it the seal doesn't matter when it's a peace of metal on metal it will still go throw the tiny crack clearly you never worked with metal like that and making holes in it.
Tiesto Vidal and you think that would not happen before zippo are known for being super leaky as you would know if you did work with brass that tiny crack is just the same as the gap between the insert and the case even with the lid closed but some one who has never even touched a drill press let alone used one
@@thatonedodge I have used a drill press and a welder and more. and brass is leaky but that's why they have things you can buy to put a plastic casing instead of a fabric pad from the factory and you can also put a peace of plastic from a bike tube or more to make it last longer
You could have just made a slip-fit brass sleeve with a tang or hole to thread the para cord. There were many other odd techniques, so are some tips (for everyone) from a retired millwright: 1. If you're going to peen over the brass casing tube in the body of the lighter, use the rounded head on the ball peen hammer. That is what it was designed for. 2. Before you center punch, pull the guts out and support the case from the inside with a piece of wood or metal. 3. Put the case in a drill press vise before you drill. If you don't have a vise, clamp two pieces of wood on the drill press table and sandwich the lighter case between them. 4. Remove the felt pad and cotton wadding then reinstall the guts before drilling. You'll keep the original factory capacity for absorbency. 5. Once you drill the lighter body and install the tube, solder the interface or use silicone inside to seal off that portion. 6. What's with the micrometer when you have the dimension you need by using the casing? The casing becomes your diameter gauge. Just match it up with the closest drill bit, pull the bit out of the drill index - then use the casing to see if it fits in the index hole. When the casing fits in the proper hole, you have the correct size drill bit. 7. Drill press speed is too fast for punching through metal. Use the lowest speed. 8. Next time you hammer hot metal on an anvil, wear eye protection and have gloves on. Red hot slag does some interesting things to the cornea of your eyeball.

I like your concept. Zippo lighters evap too fast on their own with out drilling through the case. Soldering the two together (both brass, flux would’ve drawn the solder easily to create a nice seal) would resolve the additional leakage from the joints. The pressure between the two may seem pretty solid from peening but are not reliable for a good seal. I like it though and sorry if I come off differently.

I bet it does when it gets warm in his pocket. The vapors has to escape because it is not sealed. If you've ever been burned from lighter fluid in your pocket, you will know what I mean.
It won't leak because there is no hole. He drilled the hole then sealed it with the brass tubing. so while there is a hole through the body there is no hole into the internals of the lighter.
CS:: Cool job; What size nuts did you use with the paracord “leash”? I am going to try to get a lanyard islet made locally to braze on to the back of one of my Zippo’s…
Sir, I noticed Active earmuffs, the Howards I have a question regarding active ones - do they work good in CONSTANT noise? do they suppress it? I'm interested if its good to have around aircrafts and the machinery since they have constant noise and aren't like gunshots, hammer claps and stuff like that. Thanks!
Don’t come down where to complain about what he did to HIS zippo, if you don’t like it you don’t have to. It’s his zippo and he can do whatever he pleases with it,
the drill bits are standard high speed steel so that i can resharpen them easily and here is the Amazon link to the index case. www.amazon.com/Huot-Drill-Jobber-Length-Increments/dp/B00018A1YQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1515342994&sr=8-7&keywords=drill+bit+index
I think it's a cool idea. There might be an issue with reduced capacity as far as the fluid is concerned, but I'm sure it's negligible. As far as leaking is concerned, you might be able to solder a seal on the brass tubing to the outside of the case. Totally going to try something like this with a spare zip I got floating around. Also, fuck the PPE nerds. You know what's safe in your own shop.
Everyone here is talking smack yet knew EXACTLY what it was going to look like based off the thumbnail. You all need to find your own joint because hating on TH-cam comments is doing nothing but getting ol boy the views and money he deserves 😂 he didn’t restore a ww2 era zippo and experiment on it so calm down and buy your own non custom zippos since it bunches your granny panties so much 😂
Hola me gustaria saber como haces para sujetar el gas encendido y no quemar o quemarte, y otro el mas interesante para mi, como haces para tocar el loctite con los dedos usandolos para esparcir y despues sujetas con la mano esa zona? O como te lo quitas valla!!! Yo lo usaba hasta para heridas profundas, esto las cierra hasta que cristaliza y se cae. Ahora trabajo con uno que se me apegan las uñas a las llemas y lo que jamas me a pasado con el tipico loctite, con este que es para plasticos, gomas... Me lleve gran susto con 2 dedos pegados. Y tu? Por mucha practita y experiencia el pegamento sigue pegando igual o mas incluso 😉 saludos
It's a nice idea, yeah. But it will leak, he drilled the corner of the lighter that has that... uhhh, security cotton thing? I don't know what is it called, but it keeps the gas in the lighter
The tube is peened on the sides. And the purpose of that felt pad in the bottom is to keep it from leaking. It’d plug that “hole in the corner” they already evaporate very fast. But it wouldn’t be any faster like this.
I dont get why people are so pissed off by this. Its his zippo, and he customizes it like he wants. It's not like hes destroying something extremely rare or expensive
do the follow up video on how it fills your pocket with fluid (and eats your skin) as fast as you can put it in whats left of the lighter; but the lid still opens and closes...
I can appreciate that you are customising your lighter, but would it not have been simpler just to solder a ring eyelet onto the outer case corner, that way you’re not compromising the internal section but can still attach paracord etc
I have seen people do that and I do like the way it looks but I like to be able to stand my lighter up. and you cant do that with the ring on the bottom or corner.
Always gotta be some hater lurking around, mad because they didn't come up with the idea, cooling than a fan. Thumbs up to you buddy, I bet it Will sell with no problems
First off, good job of making something your own! and the unique look is cool. I'd like to thank you for doing it to a fresh off the press Zippo and not an actual vintage one. While there were safety concerns such as gloves and whatnot and you could still improve on the work by soldering and sealing some things to try and lessen the amount of leakage/evaporation(because face it people, we may love them but nothing is perfect), how has it held up for the last 7 months or so. That is if it is an EDC and not just a wall hanger.
so i have been EDCing an almost identical zippo for the past 4 years, as well as countless regular zippos i keep in my car, shop, house, ect. and i have never seen a difference in fuel evaporation between the regular ones and the ones i customize. as for soldering the tube, i see that as unnecessary because penning over he tube is already a far better fit then the zippo case and insert
Yeah I carry one and have several as well, never smoked but thats not the point right.. I certainly understand that most of the loss is simply through the overall lack of being sealed due to pressure fit parts. I'm in the process of testing a gasket at the end over the fuel area to reduce it now. seems to work but only marginally. again, regardless nice work!
@@clarkstrang also thank you for the video! i wondered how to add a cord before, but i didnt think of the grommet tubing trick. i do alot of mountaineering and its a pain not to have everything corded because its easily lost between rocks when having winter gloves on.
its gonna rust now that u have sanded the coating off, nice job, i woukd wax that up or keep it oiled, maybe even spray a clear coat, also, i would solder the brass that you used to plug the hole or else fluid will leak, i like what u did, but you ruined a perfectly good lighter
@ Octavian: Zippos are made from brass that is nickel plated then chrome plated. The inner portion is made from stainless steel. The exposed brass case will not rust, just oxidize. But I agree with you on soldering the tube to the case to prevent leaks.
@@clarkstrang You should have bought some brass nuts...they would tarnish along with the lighter and shells without rusting. I'm actually tempted to try this, or something similar.

@@jackposella1418 the first 5 seconds are just his cheesey intro lol
Thatsca pretty good idea. Like a quick draw lighter. But does it leak?
thank you so much! and no it dose not leak because i hammered in the tube.
If it doesn’t leak and lighter works perfectly. I say it’s badass and like the customization. If it leaks then nice try but back to the drawing board.
Unlike the strap hole that is externally attached to the outer surface, the outer shape of ZIPPO has not collapsed, which is very good.
