So funny, I was actually wondering that at the beginning. I detect a slight accent, have formulated a theory, but possess no hard evidence as to who the enigmatic and hardworking Martin is 😂
I own ZERO Zippo lighters. But I would display this thing with pride. PLEASE give it to me. I'm sure I can't afford it and don't deserve it. You are the man! And Martin too, his machining skills are freakin' badass.
Martin: "Hey Tim I sort of accidentally put the end mill through the side of your cable Damascus chunk that took you all day to finally get..." Tim: "Start building that website, Martin".
Looks like the wire rope you started with is hoist wire rope which is typically performed so adding heat to it could be release that preform as you work it cause problems in it not wanting to weld. Just a idea I could be completely wrong.
This is definitely a timely video. I just picked up a zippo with a very cool applique, since getting it I've thought about making a pattern welded case for it.
This is really awesome. I especially loved seeing you tackle a past project again, now that you've tried it out once and learned more. This iteration is a great refinement of the previous damascus lighter.
I cut my cable, then just mig the very ends. Throw the pieces in the forge to medium red untwist slightly & bang out all the rust/dirt. Flux, retwist if you can & throw back in the forge. Then just stick one end in the post vice & twist at welding heat.. couple times. Then forge weld into bars, stack, repeat until big enough. Normalize.. forge whatever piece I'm doing. Normalize again, ht, temper, grind.
It's so nice to see somebody push through on a bad day. I was wondering if on cold days, if you preheat the face and dies? It just seems like you're shop is always a little cold, and I'm wondering if that might be hurting you.
Wowers Tim very beautiful Damascus design. Very cool and unique project this week. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Always excited and enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Forge On. God Bless.
I love this channel. Tim (and Martin) I can’t imagine anyone doing it better. I can’t think of anything even slightly less than spot on. The work, the videography, the presentation. All exactly right. SO entertaining! You are fantastic. 😊👍👍
Heyyyy Tim. Great job! Nice that you worked through the “off time” to see this finished!!! Love it! Ps. The little hole in the bottom of the lighter is so you can stick the tip of the lighter fluid in said hole. Just a useless knowledge that some people don’t share but I do💪🏼❤️🤣🤣👍🏻
this is so beautiful, can you maybe put a few of them on your (or martins) shop ? i would love to buy one of these, i wanted to make one for myself a few months ago, but im not so good at blacksmithing 😅
I would like to see you try "TItanium & Steel" Damascus. I dont know if that is possible but I really like the Idea of a Knife or Sword made out of that
Not a smith here, but I'd recommend hitting that cable harder to begin with, seal stuff up before oxides are able to form deep inside of those strands.
I love watching your channel. My brother and I are talking about trying to find someone to learn the basics from and maybe setting up our own little setup. One thing I am constantly wondering is why yall leave borax in a box or spoon it over when it seems so much simpler to just put it in a shaker like in the pizza joints? That seems so much simpler to me.
@@sadpanda9455 okay, I'm from Germany but here are some tips: - watch TH-cam videos about blacksmithing and maybe get some books too - indieknves (Instagram) has a world map with knifemakers, most of them can redirect you to a blacksmith or teach you the basics of blacksmithing (you want to start with that) - the king of random coal oven (the first one) costs about 20 bucks to make and lasts you a long time ... Mine has about 100 firings done with the original concrete casting - a lump of scrap steel is enough for a anvil, just go to the next machine shop and ask for a scrap piece
I have zero experience with this equipment so anyone who knows what they are talking about are welcome to correct me. I feel like the coal forge is only hotter because it has a blower in it. Couldn't Tim pull more heat from the gas forge by blowing oxygen into it?
I hope this video pops off because that is so flippen cool.
Thanks Levi!
@@TimothyDyck all the axes insta sold out. Sheesh
@@TimothyDyck I love using a zippo pipe lighter for my favorite pipe
Hahaha 🤣 the paid promotion is the best. "Like who are you, who are you Martin. We don't even know"
So funny, I was actually wondering that at the beginning. I detect a slight accent, have formulated a theory, but possess no hard evidence as to who the enigmatic and hardworking Martin is 😂
🤣
“Are you firing me???”🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking that the more tim talked the less you would see if Martin!!
Tim would be lost without Martin!!!
🤣🤣🤣❤️👍🏻
Thanks for also showing the "off day moments" they don't get shared a lot but can be very instructive!
This guy is so underrated, the video quality is so good!
He’s like the Mr. Rogers of fabrication. I mean that in the best possible way.
That's awesome. The shape of the Damascus case reminds my of my 1941 replica Zippo.
Wow Tim great job. Very impressive. I can’t believe I’m only finding this video a year later. Very clever very nice. Also a fellow 🇨🇦!
The way you introduced the lighter, I swear there was going to be some trickery. But you delivered on your promise. Gorgeous work!
Your extremely underrated! This channel deserves a million subs..wish you the best and keep posting. I look forward to your videos

You have a wonderful disposition. I enjoy viewing your content. Continued success. 100k will be a proud moment.
🇨🇦🙏✝️
Love the chill music in this video, a nice change from heavy rock
EYE PRO, Tim! Eye protection when you're working with acid. We all like your pretty eyes!
Noticed the door handle shape and key and said hmmm, looks like a 4runner. Then the stock rims! Nice 2nd gen!
that came out incredible
Martin: "Hey Tim I sort of accidentally put the end mill through the side of your cable Damascus chunk that took you all day to finally get..."
Tim: "Start building that website, Martin".
Looks like timascus in black and white. Good teamwork. ✌
"Are you fireing me?" Poor Martin
That was soo funny

Your detail to Fit and Finish is remarkable. Turned out awesome. Keep up the great videos.
This is definitely a timely video. I just picked up a zippo with a very cool applique, since getting it I've thought about making a pattern welded case for it.
I love your videos Tim! I can't wait to get back in my garage after the accounting busy season!

This is the best product placement for your axes!! These zippo cases are fantastic
I wonder how much heft the case added. Probably feels really good to hold with the little extra weight.
It's so nice to see somebody push through on a bad day. I was wondering if on cold days, if you preheat the face and dies? It just seems like you're shop is always a little cold, and I'm wondering if that might be hurting you.
This was a sweet piece to watch. Really great job
That fit!! Looks amazing!!!
New favorite channel. Love the production quality!
absolutely gorgeous!!! would so love to have one for my own
Martin . Com Hahahahaha. That was the best ad i have seen on a while.
Damn they sold out fast! Yeeeeeet! Keep up the good work fam!
Absolutely beautiful and masterful result well done bud
Wowers Tim very beautiful Damascus design. Very cool and unique project this week. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Always excited and enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Forge On. God Bless.
That case is elegant... Holy crap that's nice. Good job Tim!
Definitely not the idea I had initially but I love it!!!
Nice time lapse with the hammer
Wow! That is a fascinating process. First time I’ve ever seen something like that…guess I’ve spent 70-years in a cave. Hahaha. Beautiful Zippo case!
That is a really cool Zippo case.
That is one sweet case. Nicely done, and great job on the fit machining, Martin.
I love this channel. Tim (and Martin) I can’t imagine anyone doing it better. I can’t think of anything even slightly less than spot on. The work, the videography, the presentation. All exactly right. SO entertaining! You are fantastic. 😊👍👍
Great job Tim! And of course it look beautiful!
very watchable squarespace ad.
Heyyyy Tim. Great job! Nice that you worked through the “off time” to see this finished!!! Love it!
Ps. The little hole in the bottom of the lighter is so you can stick the tip of the lighter fluid in said hole. Just a useless knowledge that some people don’t share but I do💪🏼❤️🤣🤣👍🏻
I've always stuck an extra flint in that hole...
@@chrisadams628 there room for 2-3 flints when you unscrew the flint spring. There’s all kinds of ways to do things!! Cool maaan!!!👍🏻
this guy is actually awesome
Love that you're revisiting this as loved the last one you did was cool feather Damascus this should be cool to
this is so beautiful, can you maybe put a few of them on your (or martins) shop ? i would love to buy one of these, i wanted to make one for myself a few months ago, but im not so good at blacksmithing 😅
That turned out awesome, Tim!
Amazing work, beautiful..
Gr8 job Tim, love watching the tt hammer in action totally 👌 😀 👏
awesome pattern......looks like snakeskin. very cool
Yall work so hard yall underrated in the metel working channels
Love the videos!! Makes me think of what else I can make...
It turned out beautiful, l really like that it turned out looking like snake skin demascus. Also loved the clip with Martin.
Tim your videos are so cool and different
Perfect case for my zippo!
Looks great. Like snake scales.
Beautiful job well done TD .👍🇬🇧🤘🍺
I hope you keep selling those Axes! If I ever manage to get one I'm going to bring it on every camping trip I go on it looks so good.
Very nice Tim, to cool.
I would like to see you try "TItanium & Steel" Damascus. I dont know if that is possible but I really like the Idea of a Knife or Sword made out of that
I'd recommend barricade from birchwood casey for the first oil after the etch. Some find good results from soaking in kerosene, but wd40 sucks
Oh awesome! Good tip
Awesome work!
The pattern looks so kryptek very Noice job 🔥👍
Very cool!! Almost makes me wanna take up smoking!!!🤣😂👍👍
Came out wonderfully, would love to see you do a jellyroll damascus case in the future.
Great job.
cool looking case. Thanks
I always thought of Martin as Tim's life partner.😃😀
So that must be how they make butter sticks fit in the box so perfectly...
What's up Tim cheers from Texas brother.
Not a smith here, but I'd recommend hitting that cable harder to begin with, seal stuff up before oxides are able to form deep inside of those strands.
Why use windolene when using wet and dry paper rather than just water. Is it less likely to rust?
Really nicely done - love the way that lighter came out! Amazing look - almost like snake skin or something.
How did Martin get so good on the milling machine?
I have always dreamed of doing this
Writing a comment on a youtube video?
I love it So how much to make another one?? LOL
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Hey kinda new to the channel here soaybe you've covered this, but what's the purpose for using windex while sanding?
really awesome.
Scarface here with the borax, great vid!
Before even watching the video...I WANT ONE
Damn that's sick AF!!!!
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Tim I’m currently laying some cable at my place. Let me know if you ever need more and I’ll send you some
Really cool video
why did you specifically make a case rather than replacing the outside housing of the lighter?
hey tim,i strongly advise you invest in custom earplugs! better than foam for your ears.
Love the videos but was wondering what kind of sandpaper do you use

Have you thought about buying a 2nd hand stove for the shop?
Best of the best👍👍👍
you should make some damascus out of milled damascus slivers
Are you considering making some more and selling them? I'd absolutely love to have a Timothy Dyck damascus zippo case.
So cool!
Nice video , what Angle grinders are you guys using ?
You should have started the forge with the zippo
I would pay good money for a zippo cover like the one you made or titanium. Do you sell those. If so what’s the web site name. I don’t see it
Could you consider taking more close ups? I found myself trying to come closer to your bench to see what you're doing :)

Nice Video as usual Tim ! Love your adventures ! But now let's address the elephant in the room : Who is Martin ?
