- Restoration of a gun lighter model Colt Python .357 Magnum. I will restore and repair this cool looking cigarette lighter and make it burn again.
ABOUT THE GUN LIGHTER
Note: this is NOT a firearm it’s a Chinese cigarette lighter that I got from one of my loyal subscribers who send this to me to restore. He is a magnet fisherman and once a while he offers me really trashy objects to restore which he finds at the bottom of the lake.
This lighter is a model of the famous Colt Python .357 Magnum which was introduced 1955 the same year that Smith & Wesson released the .44 Magnum revolver. It’s a very cool and realistic looking gun so do not play around with this in the street.
These cheap Chinese butane lighters have a bad reputation for breaking very fast and the butane gas valve, burner and gas tank can really be challenging repairing once broken!
THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I started brushing the mud, dirt, rust, and mold off the lighter. I gave all the screws a drop of oil and disassemble the whole lighter into many pieces. Unfortunately I did have to drill out 4 of the screws which was half gone because of corrosion.
I sandblasted the gun frame, and I did my best to grind the metal back to normal. There was a lot of pitting in the metal, and I managed to almost remove it all. I gave all the metal a nice polishing and the metal came out really good.
I cleaned all the small parts in my mini tumbler. And used Muriatic acid to clean all the plastic parts. I polished all the plastic parts with car wax to make them nice, clean, and shiny again.
This was a really straight forward restoration to do and the observant watcher may notice that I have restored one of these before (2½ years ago). This of course gave me a big advantage doing this restoration process. I already know exactly how every little spare part works and where it goes.
I hope that you enjoyed this restoration. Please subscribe if you want to see more cool upcoming projects 🙂 I you like to see me restore more lighters SEE THIS PLAYLIST: • Lighter restorations

Impressive work man. Most people would have considered this thing a lost cause but you didn't give up and you succeeded in breathing new life into something others thought dead.
Looks like any kind of equine species. Anything from a horse, to a donkey, to a mule, and if you want to utilize fantasy elements it could even look like a unicorn.
It's fantastic, well done you!
Amazing work that you do, I love watching all of your videos. The level of detail that you provide in these videos with an explanation of everything is brilliant. I love it!👍 I'm curious, once you take everything apart how do you figure out how to put everything back together? Do you just have a brilliant memory for these things or do you have a particular method to figure it all out, like researching the product, or a combination of both? Thank you.
Great restoration!!! That looked like a unicorn to me 🦄
I love the sound of the rain and thunder in the background. Fun to watch this.
I think that was one of rougher looking items at the start that you've brought back, and it came out as one of the better finished products. I can only imagine how many hours you must've spent on just hand sanding with the 800-grit paper. Excellent work as usual!!!!
Thanks a lot bro 😉👍
XD Dee
The face in the sand blaster caught me off guard. 😂
Gave me a heart attack
You are an absolute artist!!!!! The way you make everything look better than it was when it was new!!!!
Мартин как всегда на высочайшей высоте! Держит уровень названия канала, реставрация реально awesome!
many thanks 😊
Мое Почтение. Как всегда работа выполнена на миллион процентов. Очень нравиться любое восстановление. Видео смотрю всегда до конца.😎👍класс.
Видео Мартина, всегда надо смотреть до конца! ))) Супер крутой мастер!
Always amazes me how rubber, plastic, wood, ivory handled grips get so rusty.
Yes I wonder the same 🤔
As a firearm lover I was amazed this lighter turned out so well. Not that I doubt your abilities, you take on some serious projects. This turned out so beautifully! How you turned that mess into such a stunning piece of art is nearly magical.
thank you so much I am glad you liked it 😊❤
I guess there are other things I should be doing, but watching one of your videos is so calming. I’m always in awe of what you’ve done. Much respect to you, sir.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍🙂❤
Just amazing how clear and razor sharp the lettering and numbers are after you cleaned the gun. t looks Like it was never rusted. The amount of rust is thicker than the stampings, the rust is removed, and yet the numbers and letters are like new. AMAZING. All that heavy rust and no pits or issues with the frame or parts. Incredible! A true miracle that defies physics and reality. You are truly a wizard with "restorations". Just a few months and you would have the Titanic looking like it was just built.
I'm actually working on restoring Titanic right now ;-)
Lots of work , I know gun fanatics will love that thar lighter
Реликтовая вещь❤
Механиз курка похож на морского конька)))
Всегда смотрю Ваши видео перед дежурством, это хорошая примета😊
thank you so much for watching 😊 yes I think sea horse too
Your restoration skills are off the charts but the fact that you can remember where each and every part goes back to amazes me just as much. You sir, are a genius as I see it.
thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Hey genius, he is recording so he doesn't have to remember...duh.
What a crazy transformation. Although I'd love to know, how long did this whole process take you from start to finish? Also massive respect, like you said, to the person who invented that gun because man that was a lot of engineering in that gun. But also mad props to you for being able to put it all back together. You're a master at your craft for sure.
thanks so much for watching. I think this was 2 fulltime weeks of work
It only took 15minutes 14seconds@@AwesomeRestorations
@zerocarbdoc dude it took alot of time to sand and grips and all the little parts
@@mangomason38it’s a joke
Where do you get the guns? To restore
Martin is having way too much fun with his laser engraver 😂 the pliers had Colt Python engraved on them 😂
Your videos have become my therapy.
One thing i like about your videos is you don't do none of those unnecessary introductions, no loud background music and other annoying stuffs.
Thank you, kind sire!
thank you so much I am really happy to hear that :)
Hi, been watching your restorations for a few years now.. Just want to say thank you for your hard and tedious work. Your videos have given me peace of mind and relaxation. Your craftsmanship is top tier. Absolutely satisfying to watch! Keep it up. Much love from the U.S. ✌️
thank you so much for your comment I am so happy to hear that my videos have that effect on you 😊❤
One of the most interesting episodes on this channel, although every Martin's video is a masterpiece.
thank you
The soothing rain combined with the tooling/machining sounds have the highest levels of ASMR !!!!!!! 😏💯💪🏾💪🏾
😊 thank you so much
❤😅@@AwesomeRestorations
This is amazing!! Btw anyone notice the doll blinks?? 8:18
thanks so much. Yes I noticed the doll 😉
Череп на столе отлично смотрится, в начале кажется что это невозможно сделать но я знаю что у вас всё получится как всегда!
thank you so much glad you liked it 😊
I can't say enough about how brilliant this restoration is. Totally and hands down the best video I have ever seen of yours and I watch you a lot. This is the first time I have ever said a word in comment....blown away by this one completely!
Wow, thank you! So happy to hear that 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations-Z1!
Вот это руки и любовь к делу...поздравляю душевно
thank you so much 😊
I initially glanced over the part where it said “lighter” and was confused by so many parts of the gun until I re-read the title haha. Great work!
Martin you are the absolute master of restorations. Fantastic as usual. greetings from Florence Italy.👍🇮🇹🇸🇪
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
I can not believe that this beauty was under all this rust 💜
❤❤
Amazing workmanship, viewing from Trinidad and Tobago
thank you so much. My first vacation with my wife was in Tobago in 1997, what a paradise ❤
The amount of patience required in cleaning all this stuff is insane.Huge respect buddy ♥️
thanks so much I really appreciate it 😊
I would love to have a tour of his workshop. It would be amazing.
❤❤
Amazing work as always it’s wonderful seeing old objects get a new lease on life
thank you so much I appreciate it 😊
Growing so much artificial rust just to make this video is simply mind boggling. Hats off 🤣🤣
You could’ve fooled me. It looks just like a real gun. You did a great job. Thank you
Another amazing restoration. One thing that impressed me is that you remember where all the little parts go. Not sure how you do that. Keep up the great work. I'm so glad I found your channel a few yrs ago. Huge fan from Iowa USA
thank you so much really glad to hear you liked it. I have actually repaired a similiar model and therefore I could remember how to assemble it again - but there were many parts :)
You could also *Record* while you're disassembling it and then just reverse watch the video to see where each part goes.
You’re unbelievable at restorations. Best on TH-cam by far, wish I knew how to do it.
thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Thx for catching up. 🎉
That scary vampire face creeped me out 😂😂 love your videos Bro it seems there’s nothing you can’t do!!
Как всегда прекрасная работа.Вы очень хороший мастер.Удачи Вам и дальше в вашем творчестве.
thank you so much ❤😊
Yes I definitely think that part of the gun looks like a seahorse !! Also you did a fantastic job restoring this it looks absolutely amazing !! Your skills are unbelievable and it works !!!! 👍👍
yes seahorse :) thanks a lot so glad you liked it 😊
You do some excellent work man. I loved the portrait in the sandblaster window and never knew you could put rust back on a part with a sandblaster…
thanks a lot glad you liked it 😊
Amazing restoration‼I have to say that what really blows my mind is your ability to remember where all of those parts go❗❗❗❗
thanks a lot :)
Love how this is the second time you restore this lighter
@BLVKEFORTNITE what lighter do you think dude? the one in the video
Watching your videos is always the highlight of my week when they come out. Restoration came out great. Love the background sounds of the storm, wood peckers and other random creatures. 😊
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
Buenas noches quisiera saber que producto le aplica para flojear los tornillos gracias

That was an amazing transformation Martin! As always, you rise above a usually regarded "no way" project, and bring it back to life. It seems that your determination is only superseded by your high-level skills! Always a pleasure to watch your work. Thank you again, as always, for the great videos. God bless. Rev. D.
thank you so much for watching 😊
Não acredito
I don't know what's more impressive, the restoration or the fact you knew how to reassemble all of those parts😮👏👍. It was very satisfying watching this project!
thanks a lot I am glad you think so 😊
I am doing my apprentice now for 3 years as a carpenter in Germany in the hope to make a expansion to restaurator. You are my big Idol!
Edit:
Of course I mainly will work with wood, but still I am amazed by your work.
I bought one of these back in 85, the gun not the lighter, so it was entertaining watching this . amazing work.
thanks, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the video 😊
Отличная работа!! Потрясающее состояние исправного механизма, золотые руки!
thank you so much
That's amazing how those grips rusted, and so uniformly with the rest of the gun. Awesome!
Absolutely !! I used to belive plastic didn't rust. Shows what I know don't it !!
Its dirt, not rust, if you read the description
IKR. I love how they cake all this crap on there to make it look worse than what it is. Pretty smart I guess
awesome restoration..really need patient and commitment
thank you so much 😊
Como sempre digo! Cada qual com à sua castidade para desenvolver aquilo que Deus lhe deu à capacidade!! Parabéns pela recuperação do esqueiro que ficou mais do que perfeito quando novo!! Deus te abençoe, te ilumine e te guarde sempre!! Bom dia para todos e todas!! 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏
Thanks a lot 😉👍
Watching you assemble the lighter is sometimes just as if not more fascinating and satisfying to watch to me at least
thanks a lot I am glad you like that :)
I am so glad to see you again! This Colt 357 looks awesome, almost like new!😊😊
thank you so much I am glad you liked it 😊

Barry Burton Quote mencioned Colt in mansion:
"I have this"
Minutes after seeing what weapon is a lighter:
"Damn me you"
😂😂😂
