Dented old Lighter Restoration

Hi, today i restore this Rusty vintage lighter that was give it to me for free at flea market because i bought some things.
This lighter was in a very bad shape as you can see.
I tried my best to restore, problem is that logo was to worn out and was imposible to bring it back all the details.
On the Lighter it's written ''La Concorde''.
I didn't found any details on internet about this lighter , maybe you can.
I started this restoration by disassembling all the parts, inside, the nut that hold the spring for the flint is missing.
After all dissesembling i started cleaning all the parts with acetone to remove grease and dirt.
After cleaning i started bending back the metal and remove all the scratches.
After lot of polishing this lighter start to shine again.
I put a new flint and new wick and was ready for a new life.
Thank you for watching!

What is the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is really heavy and the other is a little lighter. :)

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I'm always fascinated with how you're able to turn something that looks like it's no longer able to be repaired and turn it back into it's old glory. I can't wait to see what you fix up next.

The days and nights it pockets spent From whence I came, tarnished, bent And though I thought I was retired You spun my wheel, restored my fire.

Nice! You should have tried it nickel-plate it like it was previously.

It's incredible how something that was given away for free transforms into this. Please keep doing videos! We love it.

I'm a poor old Toothless Grandpa who needs this Lighter Desperately.. I hide in the basement from Grandma to smoke a Cigarette .. One of the few comforts and joy that I have left .. This lighter would help me because Grandma hides the matches from me .. Thank you TysyTube

[@yeetmeister0058]

For some reason I really love watching every one of your restoration videos all the way through because they always look brand new and look so satisfying to watch.

[@sorgo6312]

I love restoring old lighters,they look amazing !

[@persimmonlipz]

Completely surprised how well you removed the dents and made it gleam. It has turned out so beautifully and works same as new. Highest marks for you!!!

[@rockhaus43085]

It’s amazing to watch all your videos and see you become a true restoration master. You are among the best in the biz!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kielyb3027]

I really enjoy these videos. They are both relaxing and interesting to watch! I never knew how much time and effort went into restorations until I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the great content

[@nestorgarcia7115]

I remember that my grandfather had a lighter similar to that one and he used it every time he used the campfire to heat the food on the hill (we took care of ewes) it was great. Nowadays it is very rare to see one of those would be great to have it and surprise my grandpa. Very good job congratulations every time you restore something you do that we remember those good moments of the past greetings from MEXICO.

[@LustfulSinV]

Thank you for making videos like this! We get to see how vintage items used to be so amazing and how they last a lifetime!!

[@TheBosses1O1]

First, I really enjoy these videos. I wish the design could’ve been saved.

[@angahchelsea7146]

I hope you win the lighter..

What did you have to pay for your 184 likes? Send me the link so I can also buy likes for having no content or subscribers like your channel does...

[@TheBosses1O1]

Mr. Truth I didn’t pay anything I just happened to get them... I’m wondering myself how I got them too don’t worry. As for content, I used to make videos when younger but I made them all private to protect the little self esteem I had 😅

[@taylorcastleberry276]

I've been into vintage items for quite a while and I would absolutely love this lighter. Me and my daughter (5 months old) have been watching your channel since we brought her home from the hospital so thank you for all the amazing content

[@ianvicedomini2648]

A well worthwhile restoration and splendidly done. The dents were removed incredibly and a nice finish.

[@Acesar2012]

Im from Brazil and you inspire me. Your tool most very import is your brain, thanks for sharing your talent.

[@kevinwilliams8662]

Watching you work Lights up my day, ty

[@aidans6257]

As to the mysterious history, the lighter is a token from "La Concorde Assurances", an insurance company - it's probably late 1960's on, when insurance companies still encouraged their customers to smoke 😂and quite collectable. Half expecting you to break out one of those mad knurling files on the flint wheel like your buddy at my mechanics 👊. Nice job my friend, if only I had half your dedication...!

[@tomskaggs7918]

Much more interesting than I first thought it would be. Enjoyed it very much

[@kyuutatsu]

Just here for this lovely restoration! I also made it a mission to like all the comments here so everyone had at least one! Good Luck to everyone! ❤💙💚💜💛😊

[@doomsday9831]

I love watching these videos. My favorite part is when you take the rust off, and when you polish it. Anyone else?

[@peterjamesvilla8565]

After a hard week at work, I really look forward to watching your latest restoration miacle arriving in my in-box my friend. Your work is seriously therapeutic. Thank you!

[@dyslexicsheeple931]

Excellent restoration. From junk to a beautiful useful lighter.

[@josephus3364]

If this channel only restored lighters I’d still watch every video. Cheers

[@annab.9235]

I absolutely love the work you do. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

You have the patience of a saint ! Your solutions to problems are both imaginative and creative (like using the rounded nut to push out the dents). Most people would think it wouldn't be worthwhile trying to restore something like this, but you do, and it's why I watch your channel. Another great video.

[@cmbscx1084]

I totally understand when YT videos don't have voice commentary but have just captions due maybe a language barrier or whatever. I am a visual learner so these types of videos are very enjoyable to watch. NO BS just excellent work, camera angles and the outcome is envious. I watch Almazan Kitchen simply because he does not speak but produces unworldly results. So, Tysy you are the Almazan of restoration in my eyes.

[@jessemcroberts5099]

I love the restorations you do. You give these old things new life. I hate when people call rust and corrosion "patina" and set something on a shelf just to look at. These items were made to be beautiful and to be used. Keep up the good work Sir. I really like your channel.

[@chichegas1951]

imagine being on a party, someone ask you for light and you take out this... completley badass

[@rolandsimmelink7439]

MacGyver salutes you on the dent removal! Great as always!

[@andrealaino5260]

With a flame like that I can only imagine the expression of someone else when lighting his cigarette 😂 Great job as always!

Crocodile Dundee: "You call that a lighter?"

[@SnakeyZedd]

My dad would of loved this! He was into collection of historic things like this.

[@theboyx323]

Was interesting to see two different youtube restorers tackle essentially the same lighter with similar damage and both come out spectacular.

[@Jedib87]

I’ve always really liked these videos. Found your channel a week or two ago and have watched probably 100 of your restorations. Keep up the good work!

[@cybulskipaw]

same as me :P

[@davidforeman9442]

Quite amazing what you can achieve with patience and or course skill. Excellent video. As a recently retired Aircraft Engineer you have given me an idea to try something like this myself. Thank you.

I am inspired to clean and or repair my grandfathers tools due to your videos. Thanks for posting. Look forward to each video.

[@zeeshanshaikh3123]

Great bro. This restoration was difficult as it is too small to fix the dents but you nailed it. Great job, great going. Bless you.

[@ochronos]

For a second I thought you'd put a sticker on it 😂

[@Jethro.Maloku-le.Rey.Kalsitran]

I first didn't figure out what it was about then after writting my own post... the light came up 👍 C'est vrai que notre ami est resté très "stickers"

This lighter video sparked my interest. Thanks again for another great vid!!

Great restoration! I'm always in awe at how you work by yourself in complete silence to film these videos for us. Thanks man we really appreciate all you do 👍 I would really love to get the lighter 🤞

There's something about this guy that is so satisfying. Great work my friend.

It looks so shiny now ✨ Even though you can't really see the design it still looks pretty nice.

[@LegoPDX]

Recently found your channel, and I have enjoyed all of your videos. I have got my kids to watch them and they have since been inspired to try to restore some old things at the house. Keep up the good work!

[@alfredneumann4692]

Your benchgrinder always needs a start capacitor :-)) A jewel. Good work!

[@Chapman.C]

I have to give props where do my friend. I have been watching more and more of your restoration projects and it's an interest of mine too, but to see some of the fine work you do is incredible, especially with items such as the lighters you always do a fantastic job. Some people's old junk is another man's treasure! Thankyou for the inspiration!

[@mattpiechocki1305]

Inspirational and exceptional work! I always say to myself as I begin to watch, "what a piece of junk" then I move to " look at the pieces that made that, hope he remembers where they all go." And then finally to "WOW!!" Glad I'm a subscriber!!

[@teresagalbreath7452]

My favorite part of your videos is when you speed up the tapping. Love that sound!

I like a lighter with dents and dirt...makes the cigar taste better...good job👍

Now that I've stopped smoking, you're going to offer the lighter. I love your videos !!!

[@Kamala_P]

I wonder why I'm watching your videos... I am even addicted

[@Captain_Char]

I have never seen a lighter with a small tank for extra fluid, interesting design

[@rogerbradley7509]

As the Torch would say, “Flame on”! Looks awesome as always!

[@davidkelsey2864]

I love your videos as they bring an old item back to life, and as a bonus learn some new techniques myself along the way. Now I can restore those old brass blowtorches I have in my garage. Great work. I would rather use a vintage lighter retired than a modern one.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Beautiful lighter restoration Sir !!!!!!!!!!! Well done

[@lindysmith13]

That is an exceptionally pretty lighter.

Ah .. Perfect morning upload time ... To go with my Coffee

Beautiful little lighter! I love your attention to detail... you get better with each video! Thanks for posting!

[@katzfam1089]

I have been following you for a long time. I love your work, and your so gentle with the items you restore, plus when im stressed out I watch your videos and it calms me down. So stress relieving and satisfying, Thank You!!

[@_paulluevano]

YOUR FINE WORK AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS EXCEPTIONAL, IT WAS A PLEASURE TO WATCH. Thank u for sharing/uploading this. Looking forward to the next video!

[@pegtooth2006]

Very relaxing to watch. I make copper things and work on small engines and I'd give la Concorde a good home in Canada.

[@inuyashaa02]

You’ve taught me a lot about restoration, I’ve been working on lighters recently and this helped me with ideas for mine. Thank you 🐼

[@amancealexis7360]

you man are a god I've been addicted to your videos lately congratz on that lighter

[@xinus2286]

Man. these videos you make. this is probably the only channel on youtube on which i watch every single new video. can't even begin to describe how fun these are to watch. can't wait for your next project!

[@God7is7my7Judge]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you! I love that it has a reserve tank.

[@HeadR47]

I like that in today's throw away society, people still repair and restore things.

[@stephanehubert5342]

Superbe ! On dirait l'enfance de l'art ! Alors qu'il y a là un travail avant toute chose, fin, précis, méticuleux, soucieux du résultat, et de fait, de la perfection ( même si tout le monde sait qu'elle n'existe pas !) ! Bref, bravo encore une fois pour ce bel objet rené de ses cendres, et merci pour cette vidéo de qualité !

[@user-jy2hd8pr8u]

You are the BEST!!! I like you!!!👍👍👍

[@markschwegler1100]

Really beautiful finish. I enjoy watching your skillz improve with every vid. Maybe a restoration keeping the aged finish and just getting whatever it is back to 100% functional 🤔

[@stevewallis8197]

So, not just me who thinks the patina should have stayed - just repair it and leave the "lived-in" look!

[@mymechanics]

The lighter came out truly amazing :-) it looks so beautiful, a real gentlemen item. By the way i won't take part in the giveaway, good luck for everybody :-)

[@SAHER1925]

Why did you stop man? I enter the KZbin just because of you two. Please, don't stop if that is possible

[@teresagalbreath7452]

Would you have restored the design and how would you do it?

[@kenking3738]

You are a legend of restoration works man. I always advise other KZbinr to watch your videos before do any restoration job. I m eagerly waiting for your new videos.

[@shyamdevadas6099]

An ingenious method for rubbing the dents out from the inside! It is similar to the paintless dent removal that they use for cars. Takes time, patience, concentration, and really strong fingers. I think that was the single, pivotal technique for getting the great result you had. (That high shine would have been less stunning if the dents were still there.) Oh...and thank goodness that they haven't changed the spec on lighter flints in a hundred years! That thing puts out one MANLY flame! Gorgeous job. If I had that thing, I'd engrave your logo on it with my laser. Well done, sir!

[@IMG_-ry7tt]

[@uyraellsensenmann8931]

A warm Hello to you. I very greatly enjoy the work and skills you show in your videos, of which I have watched a few by now, having recently discovered your YT channel. I also greatly enjoy the variety of restoration projects you complete; from railway lanterns to tabletop lighters (Yours is a "Polo" brand, from UK, I believe: I used to own 3 of them, all now sadly stolen from my collection). I too collect and restore old lighters, although I do not have your range of tools, experience, or metal-working knowledge. Even so: it is truly a pleasure to watch your very skilled resurrection of these antiques, especially the lighters. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell, New Zealand.

[@RobertBosworth]

Another beautiful restoration. Don’t ever stop!

[@CrusadesOClock]

Wasn't expecting such a large flame at the end. Nice resto, I would've maybe gave the logo an enamel wash to make it pop though

[@connerhildahildabrant2965]

I'm late...as always. For the small bolt, instead of a hacksaw, electricians pliers like those from Klein will snap one clean and are threaded. Can't wait to be around when you hit a million subscribers. You deserve it. Take care.
