- Restoration of a gun lighter model Colt Python .357 Magnum. I will restore and repair this cool looking cigarette lighter and make it burn again.
ABOUT THE GUN LIGHTER
Note: this is NOT a firearm it’s a Chinese cigarette lighter that I got from one of my loyal subscribers who send this to me to restore. He is a magnet fisherman and once a while he offers me really trashy objects to restore which he finds at the bottom of the lake.
This lighter is a model of the famous Colt Python .357 Magnum which was introduced 1955 the same year that Smith & Wesson released the .44 Magnum revolver. It’s a very cool and realistic looking gun so do not play around with this in the street.
These cheap Chinese butane lighters have a bad reputation for breaking very fast and the butane gas valve, burner and gas tank can really be challenging repairing once broken!
THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I started brushing the mud, dirt, rust, and mold off the lighter. I gave all the screws a drop of oil and disassemble the whole lighter into many pieces. Unfortunately I did have to drill out 4 of the screws which was half gone because of corrosion.
I sandblasted the gun frame, and I did my best to grind the metal back to normal. There was a lot of pitting in the metal, and I managed to almost remove it all. I gave all the metal a nice polishing and the metal came out really good.
I cleaned all the small parts in my mini tumbler. And used Muriatic acid to clean all the plastic parts. I polished all the plastic parts with car wax to make them nice, clean, and shiny again.
This was a really straight forward restoration to do and the observant watcher may notice that I have restored one of these before (2½ years ago). This of course gave me a big advantage doing this restoration process. I already know exactly how every little spare part works and where it goes.
I hope that you enjoyed this restoration. Please subscribe if you want to see more cool upcoming projects 🙂 I you like to see me restore more lighters SEE THIS PLAYLIST: • Lighter restorations

Impressive work man. Most people would have considered this thing a lost cause but you didn't give up and you succeeded in breathing new life into something others thought dead.
Looks like any kind of equine species. Anything from a horse, to a donkey, to a mule, and if you want to utilize fantasy elements it could even look like a unicorn.
It's fantastic, well done you!
Amazing work that you do, I love watching all of your videos. The level of detail that you provide in these videos with an explanation of everything is brilliant. I love it!👍 I'm curious, once you take everything apart how do you figure out how to put everything back together? Do you just have a brilliant memory for these things or do you have a particular method to figure it all out, like researching the product, or a combination of both? Thank you.
Great restoration!!! That looked like a unicorn to me 🦄
The face in the sand blaster caught me off guard. 😂
Gave me a heart attack
What’s the phase for in the sand blaster box?
Just amazing how clear and razor sharp the lettering and numbers are after you cleaned the gun. t looks Like it was never rusted. The amount of rust is thicker than the stampings, the rust is removed, and yet the numbers and letters are like new. AMAZING. All that heavy rust and no pits or issues with the frame or parts. Incredible! A true miracle that defies physics and reality. You are truly a wizard with "restorations". Just a few months and you would have the Titanic looking like it was just built.
I'm actually working on restoring Titanic right now ;-)
Growing so much artificial rust just to make this video is simply mind boggling. Hats off 🤣🤣
I'm glad to see someone else thinking the same. 😂😂😂
It's sad and frustrating🤣 this guy's getting 8 million more likes than any of my videos ever will because the items I restore are genuinely old and beaten up. I still like his videos though. Good production quality, and creative ways to make the whole video entertaining. Props to him for building a successful channel regardless of how he did it.
Always amazes me how rubber, plastic, wood, ivory handled grips get so rusty.
Yes I wonder the same 🤔
😄
It's cause these videos are bulls**t
i too remember whenever metal was able to grow mold
I love the sound of the rain and thunder in the background. Fun to watch this.
I love to watch your videos when I'm having trouble sleeping. They're so relaxing and I love the before and afters. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that 😊
I always find it remarkable how well you remove the rust from the plastic parts…
I guess there are other things I should be doing, but watching one of your videos is so calming. I’m always in awe of what you’ve done. Much respect to you, sir.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍🙂❤
Mais um trabalho bem sucedido! Vejo o capricho e a dedicação em suas restaurações, o que demonstra o quanto você é um excelente profissional.
thank you so much I appreciate it 😊
Amazing how even the plastic grips got rusted 😂
Realmente quedo muy sorprendido cuando veo tus trabajos de restauración, tenes una apreciación exacta de lo que haces. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 para ti 😊
muchas gracias 😊😊
Como sempre digo! Cada qual com à sua castidade para desenvolver aquilo que Deus lhe deu à capacidade!! Parabéns pela recuperação do esqueiro que ficou mais do que perfeito quando novo!! Deus te abençoe, te ilumine e te guarde sempre!! Bom dia para todos e todas!! 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏
Thanks a lot 😉👍
You are an absolute artist!!!!! The way you make everything look better than it was when it was new!!!!
You can see how most repairs leave the object in some kind of solution and then restore it... it's also satisfying XD
Мое Почтение. Как всегда работа выполнена на миллион процентов. Очень нравиться любое восстановление. Видео смотрю всегда до конца.😎👍класс.
Видео Мартина, всегда надо смотреть до конца! ))) Супер крутой мастер!
Your restoration skills are off the charts but the fact that you can remember where each and every part goes back to amazes me just as much. You sir, are a genius as I see it.
thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Hey genius, he is recording so he doesn't have to remember...duh.
Pretty cool gun lighter. I would have one for when I was a smoker (10 years without a smoke and counting).
good for you that you have stopped 👍👍
Top demais adorei o resultado !!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
muito obrigado 😊
Браво , Мартин! Браво!!!
thank you so much 😊
I can't say enough about how brilliant this restoration is. Totally and hands down the best video I have ever seen of yours and I watch you a lot. This is the first time I have ever said a word in comment....blown away by this one completely!
Wow, thank you! So happy to hear that 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations-Z1!
😂😂 I did not notice the joker face behind the sand the sand blasting, until it's eyes starts moving around! Awesome touch oof humour 👏🏽 👌🏽
Thank you so much 😁
O homem é um artista.
I think that was one of rougher looking items at the start that you've brought back, and it came out as one of the better finished products. I can only imagine how many hours you must've spent on just hand sanding with the 800-grit paper. Excellent work as usual!!!!
Thanks a lot bro 😉👍
XD Dee
Beautiful work Martin my good man. Turned out wayyyy better than I anticipated ❤️
Thanks buddy. Yes I this restoration went very well ;-)
wonderful mechanism
how do remember where all those little peices go back together. amazing work
I was thinking the same thing lol
Your videos have become my therapy.
One thing i like about your videos is you don't do none of those unnecessary introductions, no loud background music and other annoying stuffs.
Thank you, kind sire!
thank you so much I am really happy to hear that :)
Watching you assemble the lighter is sometimes just as if not more fascinating and satisfying to watch to me at least
thanks a lot I am glad you like that :)
Nice work, but i have to say these videos are not telling the whole story and I'm sure that is why we never know the story of these items. This is without a doubt aged by man and not years of the elements. anything that has this amount of corrosion and rust from years in the elements is simply not restorable. the metal would have been eaten through completely. You pulling the hammer in the start, it would have broke off with your finger. None the less great video.
Absolutely agreed
Eu já desconfiava disso. Mas realmente o processo é sensacional!
I have to agree, but it is a very nice video to watch
Eehh i just cared the gun not he story
Not to mention the "rust" on plastic pieces
I know its fake but its is so satisfying ❤
Why do people always put negative comments and say everything is fake, like who cares man, it’s satisfying as hell and awesome to watch lol
thanks, glad you think so 😊
SEU TRABALHO É TOP
Watching your videos is always the highlight of my week when they come out. Restoration came out great. Love the background sounds of the storm, wood peckers and other random creatures. 😊
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
Buenas noches quisiera saber que producto le aplica para flojear los tornillos gracias

Perfekte asmr Video für mich mit dem Gewitter im Hintergrund 👍
Clint Eastwood massive style banger! Amazing!
I can not believe that this beauty was under all this rust 💜
❤❤
One of the most interesting episodes on this channel, although every Martin's video is a masterpiece.
thank you
That's mind-blowingly cool
thanks a lot
Crazy talent, keep it up!
Now this what you call ASMR
Я не знаю как правильно выразиться и я думаю не надо много слов. Получаю огромное удовольствие при просмотре это какой то экстаз ! Всё идеально ) мой внутренний перфекционист просто ликует при виде блестяще реставрированных вами вещей. Спасибо за контент автор !
thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate it 😊
Another amazing restoration. One thing that impressed me is that you remember where all the little parts go. Not sure how you do that. Keep up the great work. I'm so glad I found your channel a few yrs ago. Huge fan from Iowa USA
thank you so much really glad to hear you liked it. I have actually repaired a similiar model and therefore I could remember how to assemble it again - but there were many parts :)
You could also *Record* while you're disassembling it and then just reverse watch the video to see where each part goes.
Love how it turned out
5:30 that eye in the mask moved 😂
I would love to have a tour of his workshop. It would be amazing.
❤❤
Hi, been watching your restorations for a few years now.. Just want to say thank you for your hard and tedious work. Your videos have given me peace of mind and relaxation. Your craftsmanship is top tier. Absolutely satisfying to watch! Keep it up. Much love from the U.S. ✌️
thank you so much for your comment I am so happy to hear that my videos have that effect on you 😊❤
Maravilhoso trabalho!
Parabéns, você é muito talentoso
muito obrigado ❤
Eres simplemente increible en tu trabajo...mis felicitaciones desde granada....España ...
thank you so much 😊
Muito bom parabéns !! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
muito obrigado 😊
I don't know what's more impressive, the restoration or the fact you knew how to reassemble all of those parts😮👏👍. It was very satisfying watching this project!
thanks a lot I am glad you think so 😊
This made me realize how little I know about how a gun works - even just the trigger. And yes, I realize this was just a lighter.
AWESOMENESS!
Glad you think so!
What a crazy transformation. Although I'd love to know, how long did this whole process take you from start to finish? Also massive respect, like you said, to the person who invented that gun because man that was a lot of engineering in that gun. But also mad props to you for being able to put it all back together. You're a master at your craft for sure.
thanks so much for watching. I think this was 2 fulltime weeks of work
It only took 15minutes 14seconds@@AwesomeRestorations
@zerocarbdoc dude it took alot of time to sand and grips and all the little parts

That was an amazing transformation Martin! As always, you rise above a usually regarded "no way" project, and bring it back to life. It seems that your determination is only superseded by your high-level skills! Always a pleasure to watch your work. Thank you again, as always, for the great videos. God bless. Rev. D.

Using a fine quality tweezer as a scraper... As a former watch industry worker, I'm just speechless...
Parabéns pelo trabalho

Legal muito bom trabalho top mesmo
Gostei mito do seu trabalho de Resrauração e muito bom 👍
As all your viewers have grown accustomed to, another example of excellent restoration 💯 That pistol was roached. Aye !! , the lurking faces in the blaster window were back 👏🏽 Definitely a Seahorse 👌🏽
thanks so much for your comment 😊
That scary vampire face creeped me out 😂😂 love your videos Bro it seems there’s nothing you can’t do!!
Lindo trabalho parabéns, a peça parece um cavalo marinho
thank you so much. I think seahorse too 👍
Not just me who saw live rounds in the gun 😅
My favorite restoration master does it again! Such entertaining videos and AMAZING restorations of incredibly unique items makes this my most shared creator.
thank you so much 😊❤
Yes I definitely think that part of the gun looks like a seahorse !! Also you did a fantastic job restoring this it looks absolutely amazing !! Your skills are unbelievable and it works !!!! 👍👍
yes seahorse :) thanks a lot so glad you liked it 😊
Dragon Head! Awesome :D
Ficou top parabéns!
thanks a lot
Looks like a Sea-horse , To me .
That's what I was thinking, if you look at the head and the trigger combined
Both of you, clean your glasses 😂👓 I take it back, it's a seahorse 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought the same thing xD
You beat me to it. 😂
It was found underwater, so I can see it.
Not sure how u put all of that back together! Unreal. You’re extremely talented and I truly enjoy your videos. Amazing work 👏
Thank you so much!
That’s nice right there
Kreativitas tinggi... Good
That's amazing how those grips rusted, and so uniformly with the rest of the gun. Awesome!
Absolutely !! I used to belive plastic didn't rust. Shows what I know don't it !!
Its dirt, not rust, if you read the description
IKR. I love how they cake all this crap on there to make it look worse than what it is. Pretty smart I guess
As a firearm lover I was amazed this lighter turned out so well. Not that I doubt your abilities, you take on some serious projects. This turned out so beautifully! How you turned that mess into such a stunning piece of art is nearly magical.
thank you so much I am glad you liked it 😊❤
