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 KZbin 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. 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.

Rarely do I bother to sign in, or take the time to comment on KZbin™ 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.

Appreciate the meticulous work and creativity. I have been following your work all along. and waiting to see new works

[@leo150125]

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

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much :-)

[@Zenithstudios5274]

Absolutely gorgeous!! I HAVE to have one!! True genius! Please more projects like this one.

[@mymechanics]

More to come!

[@plasticonion]

Beautiful. A pleasure to watch. Love the craftsmanship and the filming.

[@mymechanics]

Glad you enjoyed it😁

[@SilenceSupreme]

Looks so fun to create stuff with such high presicion. Great work!

[@mymechanics]

Nice to hear that, thank you :-)

[@zorrow4587]

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 :)

[@mymechanics]

This would cost a fortune to make

[@dylanevans5644]

@@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.

[@ATLTraveler]

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.

[@onezerotwo]

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

[@carolinawolf7708]

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

[@pablorages1241]

Can't imagine what this sort of quality would cost to buy !

[@deleted3650]

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!

[@nate2604]

@@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.

[@FatalShotGG]

50 bucks take it or keep the metal trinket

[@smarterthanyou9090]

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.

[@mymechanics]

Don't forget all the planning and construction ;-)

[@user-vr6ue5tx7j]

I was surprised that the string in the center was a decoration！ It is very cool design.

[@rosuan21]

give me more videos. i've never seen restoration videos like your work. nobody can makes like your work. so nice & clean. it make me very relax

[@mymechanics]

Glad to hear that, thank you very much

[@prototypeworkshop438]

It's really amazing how clean your parts turn out. Such a pleasure to watch

[@mymechanics]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@llkurofoxll1013]

I think this is a testament to your craftsmanship skills - One of a kind, truly skilled in what you did, unlike a lot of repair content farm channels that artificially age products then "restore" them using brute force or damaging methods - I tip my hat to you. Salute.

[@mythotic7172]

Salut amie

[@jasonm9264]

I abhor those restoration channels. I cannot believe they get so many views and they are so tacky, like they try to be so meticulous. It pretty simple and unimpressive if you have the slightest idea how to do any type of detail work.

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much :-)

[@markroush7182]

Beautiful... I love great machine work!

[@kevinlago1619]

The things I watch at 3am.. Absolutely amazing :D love how delicately you assembled it

[@alexandercurtis4427]

I completely forgot this channel. I'm glad I found it again

[@mymechanics]

Thanks for beeing here :-)

[@macw2234]

Another masterpiece. You make it look simple however it is a skill far beyond the average machinist. Prima

[@TadaKittyGaming]

i know this video is a year old now but that is the coolest lighter i have ever seen

[@kenstorms2389]

This is beautiful! I would love one of these.

[@christopherdean1326]

I figured out how it would work straight away, but it was still a joy to see how you made it. First rate work!

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)

[@mattansell7691]

Your skill at machining and producing interesting items is amazing! I come here to watch you just turn stuff on your lathe and long for my younger days. Excellent channel with incredible results!

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)

[@ShadowMk3]

Those floating hands are out of control, making things so mesmerizing to watch!

[@ivopeev8781]

In my opinion, Switzerland is The Best and most developed country in the World to live in. BEAUTIFUL! Pleasant, Disciplined! Thank you! :)

[@mymechanics]

I think so too ;-) Thank you very much!
