I built a trick Lighter - Will it work?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2022
- In this video I'm going to build a lighter completely from scratch out of solid stainless steel. I have this idea from another TH-cam video. He has built the same lighter, I just designed it a bit different
I remember when I first saw his video of this lighter, I really liked the design and wanted to make one myself. I have reached out to him and asked for permission to copy his design, I'm very glad he agreed. Now the time has finally come to make it.
I made my design slightly different. On my lighter the inner ring is the removable part from the body and is held in place by the fake wick holder sealed with three o-rings. I also made my version completely out of stainless steel (1.4305). I did first plan to make a mirror polished finish on the whole thing, but I have later changed my mind and went with a brushed finish instead, which turned out absolutely amazing in my opinion. This was a very fun little project. It required a lot of very precise machining and had a lot of very tiny details. I'm very happy how this has turned out and I'm glad I have now finally done this project.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Only after working with metal for 3 months at my apprenticeship, I've come to fully appreciate how difficult, time-consuming and precision-demanding projects like these are. I am absolutely amazed by your fine craftsmanship and hope you continue to make awesome things!
Great to hear!
makes carpentry look like childs play huh?
@@Ralph_Baric_PhD_C2019 I would say both are hard to master. Maybe woodworking is easier to get “good enough” at in a short amount of time. More forgiving.
@@Platinum_Squid true, i remember seeing a documentary where around war time the german crafts man had made mock up models of the shape the VW beetle would be before manufacture. The wood craftsmanship was amazing.
And yes, i probably confuse carpentry with cabinet making or some such.
Vid is made by a different channel. This is reupload
I just love that there is no unnecessary commentary, no obnoxious music, no speeding up portions of the build… The fact that you show every step and that you’re so methodical is great stuff. Love this!
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
It's full ASMR
I’ve been going through your old videos, and it’s amazing how much better your photography has gotten on top of your incredible machining skills. Just continuing to raise the bar.
Glad you like them!
пожалуй, именно в такие моменты работает негласные "авторские права": когда автор сам сообщает о том, что взял чужую идею за основу и приложил оригинал идеи в ссылках, а не то, что пытается всем втюхать ютуб.
отдельный респект таким авторам!
For me the coolest part of the whole build was how perfectly the little skrew fitted into the flint striker.
Nice to hear that, thank you :-)
i thought the same thing. really satisfying to watch the screw fit in perfect
Absolutely agreed. Actually said “wow” out loud. Super impressive.
I had to jump backwards to actually see that the screw was shaped to fit so flush before he screwed it in. Beautiful work.
@@danpreston564 yeah I did the same lol
Well started my working day 11 minutes later, but more relaxed.
Ditto
Totally worth it but.
Have a nice day
@@mymechanics weather is fine everything is fine 🙂
@@mymechanics - thank you, I'm now on a London Tube train (above ground), only getting mildly wound up again by the relatively small proportion of people not wearing masks.
"The next station is Wembley Park. Change for the Metropolitan Line. Exit for Wembley National Stadium."
I remember when i first learned to Millwright back in college. We were taught to make a vice-grip. The object might not have been so interesting (to me), however, the process was more so intriguing. Knowing you have the physical ability to turn something basic into something useful is always amazing. Thanks for sharing with the world your talent
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
@@mymechanics My pleasure😁
I made a vice grip as well for my industrial eng lab class
As a woodworker, I find that in metalworking as I see it here and many other places, the absolute precision of the processes and the noble character of the material impress me quite a lot. Subscribed. Cheers!
Not only do you turn out brilliant projects, but watching your machining skill alone is a bonus.
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
@@mymechanics if you were to sell it, how much do you think it would cost?
Too expensive, i don't even want to start calculating
@@mymechanics haha understood 👍👍
Hehe turn. Lathe puns
These videos never fail to impress.
Thanks a lot for beeing here :-)
Wow, SalC1 here too
Hello 😀
Well, I certainly didn't expect to see you here, but hi!
A Minecraft TH-camr on a resto channel? What next?
"restore a computer and make 2b2t server with this" be like
Wow! As a triple-trade Fabricator/Welder/Machinist, I applaud your attention to detail. Fantastic project. Perfectly executed.
My 10 year old nephew was so confused seeing this. He asked me "how come the drill bits aren't turning, yet holes are made on the metal pieces" 😂
Not the smartest One tbh
Be honest Vaisakh… it’s was you that was confused 😉
@@Hermanos22 😅 i gotto admit... I was confused too for a second when he asked it.
@@vaishaksuresh8555 haha, it looks unnatural.. I completely understand.
For the first time seeing it I have to admit it looks strange when the drill is not turning.
Hat off for your craftsmanship 👌 very nice lighter model too 🤩
Thank you very much :-)
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Вы честный человек, спасибо что указал вначале имя автора идеи. Это достойно уважения
Очень порядочный, согласен с Вами.
В описании к видео ММ говорит, что обратился к Левше за разрешением. Так что все сейф :)
я сразу подумал, что у Левши спи.....но
@@daddyfrost42 так все нормальные люди на ютубах поступают. А я-то, увидев превью, уже побежал было в каменты писать, что это у Левши заимствовано
а зачем фитиль снизу??
10+ minutes of metal milling sounds to relax/study to.
Nice to hear that, thanks :-)
As always, the sound of pieces clicking into your lathe is so satisfying. And this build is brilliant!
This dude is on fire! 😄
Excellent work my friend!
Thanks 🔥
You wanna say, this lighter* is on fire "dude" 😁
Для Прикола !
@@qameruzaman 😂😂😂
This thing is sick! love how it turned out and I love the "cap" you made for the real wick so it doesn't dry out or leak as much as it might normally. Props to Levsha for the initial design as well. enjoyed watching you both make this in your own ways.
Glad you like it!
This is so zen to watch, so calming and satisfying. As much i love working with metal i also love watching such great quality videos of it.
Absolutely beautiful. The greatest thing I ever made in shop class on a lathe was a plumb bob that weighed a metric ton. It was rough and ugly, but I was still proud of it. My first project and we learned about different speeds for materials, knurling, tapering, tapping thread.
We didn't learn about making it look nice, though.
I was much better at working the milling machine. I only took the course for one year and I kind of miss working with these machines.
keep going :-)
Off the chart machine work! The inner ring O'ring grooves were most impressive!! Surprised you put them on the inner edges and not on the core cylinder, masterful to say the least. And the tiny knurled cap looked perfect, Wow. Cool design and like the brushed finish as well...wouldn't have been right polished. Thanks for the lessons and great videography!
Awesome, thank you!
I was here! You are amazing my friend! This lighter will light up my day today!! What a beautiful handcraft! You are a true virtuoso!
From a gentleman to a gentleman: Cheers!
oh, look, It's the guitarist Per-Olov! 🎶 you went to Russia?
Rarely do I bother to sign in, or take the time to comment on TH-cam™ content. But these posts demand my offering praise for what I can only characterize as utter craftsmanship. I consider myself a tradesman with 4 decades of experience in wood/metal/other materials - perhaps with a dash of craftsmanship thrown in from time to time. Other "restoration" channels often frustrate me by way of shortcuts, poor technique and execution that fails to reach the level of true excellence. I find myself enjoying *my mechanics* posts effortlessly, knowing this person's work and attention to detail will meet and exceed my expectations with production values that are also the finest. My enjoyment is only tempered by my envy of his skill and coveting a few of his tools ;-) Kudos sir! Thank you for sharing your time, energy and superb skills with the rest of us. Know that your polish is highly appreciated by those of us who have an eye for a job not just well done, but done with outstanding flair.
Precision engineering at its best, you’re a one man band of craftsmanship, so satisfying to see and behold, thank you for being you🙏
Thank you
O MY GOD. Not only you make it yourself you credit the author. С большим уважением и любовью из России.
He invented a very cool design and gave me permission to copy it. Of course I will credit him :-)
Looks really like a high end and really expensive lighter.
What a beauty.
Well done sir 🥰
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
Goldsmith's work, attention to detail and precision as usual, for a result quite amazing! Congratulations for your knowledge, to see the stages of your work that it is a design or a restoration is a treat for me. Thank you again for your work!
I've been restoring the same yard brush for over 30 years . So far it's had 7 new shafts and 9 new heads.. its still like new. Beat that !!!
It's so relaxing watching him work. It's like ASMR for machinists.
It’s the only “ASMR” that doesn’t make my skin crawl. Can’t stand the whispers, hard Ps, and chewing/mouth noises in traditional ASMR…
9:47 most impressive part of this is when you magically manifested an O-Ring from thin air
For real though, this entire build is a masterpiece
I didn't even notice, that's great 🤣🤣
amazing, astounding
it wasn't magic, it was the power of "et voila," which is commonly known to spontaneously cause things to appear
Thank you very much :-)
Nope, he created that too... :))
the idea from Levsha is great. But your implementation is simply the next level!
Thanks a lot!
A two year old video that delights me every time I watch. A thing of beauty is a joy forever! 👏👏👏
Потрясающе!!! Всякий раз смотрю как какое-то кино. Иногда с замиранием сердца. Очень крутые работы. Особенно здорово видеть такое тщательное и бережное отношение к деталям и то, как дается вторая жизнь старым вещам и механизмам. Спасибо большое за такое мастерство!!!
Я этого канала насмотревшись в саду "реставрировал" старую табуретку, которая еще из моего детства. Обстучал, выпрямил ножки, отшкрабал старую краску, проклеил фанеру, покрасил белой красочкой, и даже апгрейднул кусками резинового шланга на кончики ножек, потому что у нее всегда была бесячая черта это ими громко греметь при перемещении. Больше такого нет, на резиновых ножках она стала беззвучна, и это музыка для ушей. Матушка назвала ее за белый вид и черные копытца "идет бычок качается" ХД
@@inji4579 молодец!!! Раньше тоже так поступал. Сейчас уже лень.
@@artemart4611 так у него и было написано вначале "спижжено у Левши")))
Including 2 different contact surfaces for the metall parts and the rubber seal, so the seal does not get squished too much each for the wick holder and the striker (instead of adding a grove for the seal to sit in) was very nicely done. Also taking care the tiny screw for the striker was rounded off just right asymmetrically to not disrupt the shape is a detail no other TH-camr would have thought of and been able to execute it to such a high standard. This is why I love this channel, thank you!
Holy moly, that's some real fine art what you did there. Amazing job! The precision on that lighter, amazing!
Nice to hear that, thanks :-)
Wow! What an idea! A lot of planning was necessary for coming to this result. 😃👍
Truly one of the greatest machinists I’ve ever seen, precision and talent along with experience out-do any of these other wannabe channels…great work as usual!
It’s really amazing to see your own personal customization besides the regular restorations, I could easily watch a new video of yours every day but I also know that perfection takes time!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
Beautifully made!! Love the press fit for the inner ring as well as all the small parts👌
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
i know this video is a year old now but that is the coolest lighter i have ever seen
Отдельное уважение за-то, что указали автора идеи. Посмотрел другие ваши видео и они потрясающие, уже подписался)
Easy for you to say...
Тоже хотел написать сначала что спиз***, но пускай живет)
Это плагиат
Канал левша
@@vasyakot230 в начале ролика указано, что идея взята с канала Левша, так что это не "плагиат" чисто по определению
@@MrEcco94 тоже хотел до*баться, но он оказался предусмотрительнее)
I completely forgot this channel. I'm glad I found it again
Thanks for beeing here :-)
I always love it when you throw out an old part and "make a new one", but this whole video is about making a new one! Awesome. :)
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
Oh my, that is lovely. So elegant and tasteful. A piece of functional art. Bravo!
Thank you very much Vickie, glad you like it.
Well, looks interesting, but that is not functional at all. Would be uncomfortable in pocked. No screw then impossible to change flint. How to change wick it’s the biggest question.
Ps. Nothing can be more functional than zippo lighter.
@@GGS3270 Is the Mona Lisa functional? come on dude, when art is art, it doesn't have to be functional every time
@@GGS3270 this is not ment to be mass-produced, not ment to be comfy in your pocket, not ment to be user friendly to replace stuff. It's a true show piece.
@@GGS3270 It's a conversation piece. You can't appreciate art?
Обожаю Левшу, очень приятно видеть его идеи на других моих любимых каналах 🤗
Those floating hands are out of control, making things so mesmerizing to watch!
Amazingly done. I could watch these videos 100 times a day and not get tired... Very satisfying.
Glad you enjoy it!
...and in 100 years our descendants will watch one of your descendants restore it! Very nicely done.
Thanks a lot for watching :-)
Вау, вот это пересечения. Оба канала классные и приносят много визуального наслаждения
Awesome! Amazing work, congratulations, the result is simply wonderful!
Very cool design and expert craftsmanship. It's going to be a pain if you ever have to replace that wick however.
unscrewing and putting it in is pain?
@@tarksurmani6335 between the cotton and the lack of an easy way to push the inner ring out, putting a new wick in will be a whole process
It's just a showpiece, not ment to be userfriendly ;-)
It sure is a heck of a showpiece, though. I'd love to own something like that myself.
@@tahvohck not impossible though, and for how long wicks usually last I wouldn't worry too much about it
My god those lathe shots around 2:30 are some of the cleanest shots I have seen on TH-cam. Fantastic attention to detail making every little chip just pop in focus.
The best lathe shots on the internet. Insta jizz.
Thank you very much!
That’s so nice mate, always clean work
Thanks a lot Onur, as always
Great work! Great lighter project!😁👍🛠️🔧
Simply beautiful!
What a Beauty! This channel is like a candy store for engineers, you are smiling all along the way.
Thanks a lot for beeing here :-)
It’s easy to see why you have over 3M Subscribers. It’s almost like watching a surgeon operating on someone. So clean and accurate. Every detail done to perfection.
I hope that you are safe over there with all this lunacy going on around you. 🙂
Absolutely agreed I would let this guy operate on my after watching a video on how to do the operation before allowing half the surgeons in the U.S. try especially at the VA hospital where I receive care.
Almost like a surgeon? Oh boy, believe me, this here is way more precision and cleanlyness than you can expect in most ORs.
....
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
I think watching a surgery would be kinda gross, I don't think this analogy works.
Are we gonna talk about how this person has replied to so many comments
Awesome build
I thank you for this project, that disproves the old idea that “what you see is what you get”. This is the type of work, where a “good lathe” is essential. The fit and finish depend on it.
Such an elegant piece! The whole time I was wondering how you'd be able to refill it with lighter fluid. Your solution is very clever.
Thank you very much!
Похвально, что автор указал на оригинал. :)
С первых секунд пошёл проверять, ведь помню что у Левши была подобная поделка. А потом увидел "Inspired by..."
Ага, тоже подписан на его канал. Посмотрим на разные подходы к работе)
@@denisspivacenko3908 не только "inspired by.." на первой же секунде видео, там ещё и в описании указано и по-английски, и по-русски, и ещё ссылка на канал. Это действительно похвально.
приятно, что my mechanics оправдывает доверие)
У балалаек сегодня праздник, ! Я сорок лет назад видел такую зажигалку, и на ней были какие то логотипы. Причем на вид она была очень старой.
Love it!!! ❤️ The parts are so intricate and detailed!! Love the shiny stuff!!! 👍🏻

Thank you very much :-)
Beautiful. A pleasure to watch. Love the craftsmanship and the filming.
Glad you enjoyed it😁
one of the slickest, most magnificent piece i've ever seen
Wow, That is a masterpiece of functional art, I recommend that you make more to sell to us, I would buy several for myself and friends :)
This would cost a fortune to make
@@mymechanics
Just out of curiosity, what are the materials+typical skilled machinist costs that would go in to this?
I have always thought all of your vids must have so many man hours in them, and your skills would demand a high rate, I imagine the 'real' cost of paying someone like yourself to restore something would be significantly more than the item itself is worth.
Do you have any idea how much time this takes to make and film??? He can't just whip out a few thousand of these LOL... if you're willing to pay $5K for one im sure he's willing to make you one, but I highly doubt you are, so likely not worth his time.
they’re probably $2000-4000 ea. in hours and materials lad, I don’t know if you’d buy “a few of them” even if this fella’d make ‘em. :p
Lol that probably took tens of hours of labor. If you have thousands of dollars to spend on a couple of lighters good for you
The skills on show here are precision mastery of the artform, such a joy to watch him create pieces of art. So,wish we could have a few more but they take time I do miss them when the weeks pass by without a new creation
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Excellent, what a craftsmanship
Your craftsmanship is out of this world!
Nice to hear that, thank you!🙌🏻
It's really amazing how clean your parts turn out. Such a pleasure to watch
Glad you enjoy it!
That looks really cool. I want this kind of lighter since the hole makes it easier to tie it and therefore not lose it.
great idea
This lighter could be used as a weapon, if the need arises.
That is beautiful,brilliant work
This is beautiful! I would love one of these.
You've been gone for what seems like a lifetime, and you come back with this.......?
And totally KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK !!!!!
This little lighter will go down in classic form from "my mechanics"
Sir.... You have quickly become a machining legend among legends.
The absolute pinnacle of greatness.
Thank you for teaching every other Machinist "what it should look like."
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING piece sir, a fine hand crafted piece of art.
Flawless job, as expected from you and your skill set 👍👍 10/10
Absolutely gorgeous!! I HAVE to have one!! True genius! Please more projects like this one.
More to come!
this was fascinating to watch! Literally let out a woo when the lighter stays lit :D
I was surprised that the string in the center was a decoration!
It is very cool design.
Классно.
Отбежал посмотреть видео Левши.
Очень приятно видеть, что интересная идея не просто скопирована, а и доработана.

@@sosmyshlanger Для красоты наверное
@@sosmyshlanger как я понял для иллюзии
This is such a cool concept. I would definitely purchase something like this.
Thanks a lot for watching :-)
Nicely made, quite ingenious. I've seen something similar before, but this one's build quality is much better.
A fine example of keep it simple unless complicated looks really cool
Thank you so much :-)
Another masterpiece. You make it look simple however it is a skill far beyond the average machinist. Prima
I love it. I wouldn't even embarrass myself asking how much or to get one! Love your craftsmanship
It's not for sale, sorry ;-)
Excellent work, congrats!
Appreciate the meticulous work and creativity. I have been following your work all along. and waiting to see new works
Just love that you filed the screw head to match the wheel holder curvature perfectly. Which is amazing since it's not a symmetrical curve, if you screw it deeper or shallower it won't align at all. So it has to be filed in fully tightened position, am I right? Maybe it was worth showing on the video ❤
I think he probably got it close and then sanded it down or worked it in-situ to get it perfect. It’s hard to envision how else he would have done it. Could be wrong though.
I made it longer on the ends, tightened it and sanded it flush.
@@mymechanics appreciate the courtesy to explain. Nice work as always!
I started watching your videos for ASMR purposes. But it's so much more than that! Your work is flawless, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Aaah, MyMechanics, tú nunca nos decepcionas ❤
I really enjoyed watching this making, very inspiring !
Thanks :-)
So satisfying to watch your work!
Thank you very much
This is so enjoyable to watch. The perfectionism of each task you do is awesome! I absolutely love the quality of your videos. Thank you
Thank you very much :-)
Beautiful. Well done!!
Glad to hear that :-)
Damn! Absolutely crazy dude. You're awesome 👍😎
Can't imagine what this sort of quality would cost to buy !
depends on offer and demand less offer and bigger demand leads to bigger price and since its only one of a kind leads me to say that it could be fairly sold for 100 - 300$ because it is unique however hand job on this thing is not complex with art or anything!
@@deleted3650 I'd say 100-300 would be way too little for the ammount of skill and craftsmanship that went in to this. I'd honestly out a fair price at the 700-800 range, seeing as this is a piece of art that was skillfully hand made and I'm sure took many hours to finish.
50 bucks take it or keep the metal trinket
This is a pretty solid day’s work, plus materials, craftsmanship, and expensive tools could place this reasonably in the $600-$800 range depending on any customization allowed, such as anodizing, engraving, use of alternative metals, etc. great work deserves pay.
Don't forget all the planning and construction ;-)
This is just amazing !!! I could watch your videos for hours
Thanks a lot for beeing here :-)
Beautiful... I love great machine work!
I went to a vocational high school and I took Machining Technology. AND I did some really intricate projects in my senior year. Nothing as precise as this. But I truly do appreciate seeing the detail in the machining you did in this. I have sucscribed just based on this video alone. I look forward to seeing future projects, I will also enjoy going over your library of past videos.
Thank you kindly!
Really like the video…. Not a bunch of crappy music to be forced to listen to. Awesome craftsmanship. It was very relaxing to watch……. I subscribed.
Thanks for your support :-)
I meant to say also….. I did not realize that you were the one that did the restoration videos I had seen before…. Pretty cool. Later!!
