Old Spark Lighter Restoration - Imco Funkmeister

In this episode I will restore this Rusty Imco Funkmeister spark lighter. It has a lot of rust but luckily It's mostly on the surface and there is even some of the old plating left underneath. Regardless the metal has a lot of pits and need a good sanding. Luckily there are no dents as those are always a pain to fix. After sanding down all the pitting I re-plated the parts with nickel to protect it from corrosion. For this video I had to get a larger container and do some adjustments to the system.

[@bigornafilmes]

You did what most of the restorers do not even think to do: You plated all the parts. I've seen them polishing and removing old plating and painting instead of plating again. Best regards from Rio de Janeiro.

[@Ballmacher]

So what's the difference there?

[@liquidsleepgames3661]

Can you give jesus a hug

[@madeofcastiron]

@@Ballmacher if you don't plate the parts again, the pieces are prone to rust much quicker

[@Saltiren]

I was not expecting the aggressiveness at the beginning 😂 it startled me and my cat 🤣

Yes. Part of the reason why I had to get it 😂 much better than sparkmaster

Thanks Tysy!

@@OddTinkering i dont know what products you have avail.... You could look into light abrasive polishing compound for the thinnier metal stock to avoid damage may be brasso / flitz or even some car detailing products ATB: BLIND

Amazes me how you never break or lose any of the pieces...

Hes broke a few he just remakes them

I'm sick with some heavy nausea and your videos are the only thing I can stomach to watch. Thank you so much for helping me through this.

[@thewhiteraven2501]

If that brass rod gets stuck in a wall when it launches across the room, please include it in the video. Overall good job on the restore! :)

[@dhinatax]

I always watch your video before Im going to sleep cus is so relaxing

[@BreezeWeezy]

Dang, the power that radiates from the introductory lighter YEET is staggering

[@canadianwaif]

Thank you so much for filtering out the harsher sounds from machines, I love to watch your excellent work before I retire, all relaxed . As long as you make these videos I will be an avid subscriber :)

[@storr7535]

I like these videos, he doesn't talk, he doesn't bring up things that are unrelated to what he's doing and goes straight to the point

[@diamondproductions665]

As the icon implies, he perfectly balanced the science, entertainment, and hard work.

[@annierose1269]

I love how you wear gloves ALL the time now, since that comment that said you should.

[@Indrakusuma_a]

I'm late to the party here, so curious what kind of comment was it?

[@abomasnow4]

Someone got their undies in a knot over how Odd Tinkering Guy didn't wear his black gloves in one of his vids, is all.

[@hualni]

This is such an impractical thing to restore, but dang if it isn't some of the most gripping entertainment available anywhere. Incredible!!! BRAVO!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@GrandsonofKong]

I would have bought this "as-is" simply to say "I own a Funkmeister"!!!! Great restoration!

[@iannonhebel677]

Love the rusty pair of pliers you used maybe they can be a restoration treat to look forward to.

[@jimbojet8728]

I doubted you. I did think you may have bitten off more than you could chew with this one. Oh ye of little faith ! Well done. So clever. A great vid, thank you.

[@senijzi6311]

As always, I love your restoration video, no music, no narration, just the original sound of you restoration activities, love it. Kudos and keep it up.

[@stoogie375]

Not going to lie, I laughed when he bitch slapped the other lighter away. 🤣

[@producer73]

Wow, I have the exact same one. It's been in the family for decades. It's in pristine original condition. I use it to light the BBQ.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

I have one of these that I bought in mint condition at a garage sale. Use it every time I go camping. Best darn camp stove starter a man can have! Someone should remake and mass produce them again. As someone who use to restore antique furniture I love your restoration videos, bro! Very unique KZbin content! Keep it up.

[@Dr_Mario2007]

You earned the subscription, Sir. You have a great sense of humor, and I actually like the fact that you restore what could be historically significant that looks as good as when they were new.

[@foxxiangel6384]

when you’re chaotic energy shows (like when you slapped the lighter off the table) i love it

I hope he never runs out of brass brushes and gloves because I want to watch these videos until I kick the bucket.

[@shadymaint1]

My parents have one just like that. I came in an old 50s era camper they bought when I was a little kid. They have been through several campers since then and the still have and use that same striker to light the stove burners. It is still in excellent shape.

[@Jordan-zk2rf]

you came in an old camper when you were a little kid?

[@alisonblackwood6954]

I love restoring old and or worn out things back to life. So glad to see people who care about things in today's modern throw away world. Why do you wear gloves?

[@Stevenyc69]

Alison Blackwood avoid getting a tetanus shot lol. Probably to help protect his hands.

[@DD-DD-DD]

We actually had one of those. Took it camping 35 years ago. Lit the little camp stove with it.

[@AlexGTAgamer]

Modern lighter: * Exists * Odd Tinkering: *YEET*

[@PierceyeG]

That was an impressive restoration. I wouldn't have thought that tool was capable of being brought back.

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Fun video 👍🏻. I have that same striker. Still functional. I keep it with my Coleman camp stove. 🇺🇸😎

[@itatane]

I wonder if Odd Tinkering could bring your old straw hat back to life once it gets some more mileage on it? Last one was mostly duct tape by the time it was done, wasn't it? 😁

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Pete Hall LOL 😂. Yeah, there wasn't left for the tape to stick to. 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎

[@auli9920]

I just found the same one at my local junkyard. Ill tryto follow this video now.

[@dorgodorato]

I really appreciate you turning down the audio for the sanding! The dry scratching noise really triggers my tinnitus when folks leave it at full volume.

[@Keyshooter]

Everything you restore just looks so wonderful

[@sofuskaka3502]

You are basically an old school pyrotechnic at this point

I prefer when the restorers take the time to use rust remover instead of sand blasting it. Also it’s much more relaxing to me ☺️😴

Something is satisfying about watching something broken being fixed. I don't know why.

[@UltimatelyEverything]

"I need something more stylish" proceeds to violently smack the lighter and probably break it 😂😂 well if it breaks it would make an interesting video trying to fix it.
