I built a trick Lighter - Will it work?

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
