- Today I will make unique lighter. The same one doesn't exist! Lighting up are initiated with pistons. With this project I realized unique pistons bringing mechanism and hammer-and-trigger assembly. Hope you will like it!
Enjoy!

An absolutely stunning piece of work that only needed 400 steps, $60,000 worth of precision tools, and an extraordinary degree of skill and craftsmanship to create!
I am not only impressed, I am downright jealous.
Well done!
The first 3 minutes I was thinking: Damn, I could make this in my garage but after that, no.
From an engineering perspective, this is just absolute nuts. I was getting caught up in all the little parts too. Like Jesus Christ this is a crazy piece of craftsmanship.
100% agree. so sick.
Bruh, halfway through I was wondering if I was watching the lighter video I clicked on or a watch making video 😂
From an engineering perspective, The tourbillon of a very expensive Watch has no practical use ... this is just absolute nuts....
Just don't set your paper tape on fire or your lighter could explode
well, that is not a particularly a well thought nor a well executed lighter, not sure what kind of enginrer you are talking about.
This is what I like seeing. Overly complex solutions to simple problems that are completely out of reach of normality. Stuff no one asked for but everyone wants. Pretention in its physical form. Absolutely amazing craftsmanship and creativity.
Like how you described it
Simply amazing, after watching this video I cant even imagine how all the parts for this came together in your mind as a concept before even being made. Everything fitting so precisely to work together in such a small sized package. You are a master, this was a great video and a phenomenal piece.
Simply brilliant.
The fact he made every single piece also. Truly fascinating
Conception to finish - this man is brilliant! Have to subscribe!

"got a light?" - yeah, hold on, this is an 8 step process. do you have ear plugs?
Best comment!
lmfao, cos i thought exactly the same thing
EXACTLY!
Lovely lighter, tedious af to use.
While you fumble in the dark, and the snap-rocks aren't lined up, or they got damp and don't work anymore. If you can't light something within about 10 seconds, I say that's a problem when a 99 cent lighter can do it easy.
@@Anenome5
You completely miss the point. It is not your all day 99ct lighter, it is for celebrating the creation of fire! If you were some ancient fire goddess, which one would you prefer? You got it ;-)
i have NEVER seen a single other person use a CNC to tap threads like that, both male AND female. it’s blowing my freaking mind right now. i am so happy i found this video, its exactly the sort of fascinating and relaxing thing i wanted to watch right now. for once, the algorithm gets me.
How are you supposed to make male threads?
@@whydoineedthisB usually through a hand tap or a lathe, my first time to see it through cnc as well
CNC can do some amazing things, I worked as a machinist for 17 years and I've seen some mind blowing stuff, thread cutting is just one of many things they can do.
@@whydoineedthisB just to clarify, I mean cut the thread with a "die", not telling you to die.
indeed that thread tapping really made me pause.
using those cap gun roles as an ignition source was a really cool idea, it's amazing the things people can make at their homes nowadays.
Tooling machines are cheaper and smaller than ever not to mention CNC machines. Imagine how impressive it was for watch builders 200 years ago to build gears with such tight tolerances that they used gems as bearings to reduce the friction.
@@MrDsturman yea, watch mechanisms are wonders of engineering for sure
@@SpydersByte that being said, this is a bad ass lighter and this guy has a ton of ingenuity and skill.
Watching this was like getting a brain massage. I can’t imagine how much work went into this off camera. Absolutely a true craftsman’s work.
This has got to be THE COOLEST lighter ignition mechanism I've seen. Kudos on the ingenuity!
It is cool, ingenious for sure. But, there is a limitation to it, as the thing now runs off those little paper snap caps usually used in kips toy cap guns. There are only so many shots per roll, I think it was 100 or something, you run out of caps while out on a job site somewhere, you're screwed....
@@delmaneboshoff5610 True true, but would you carry this cool thing the same everyday like you would a cheap lighter ?? Just bound to lose it somehow, lol
@@williamharbuck8575 yeah, also, lighter thieves. You probably know one or two and many more are around and you don't know
It's a basically a fiering pin 😏 without a "pin"
@@delmaneboshoff5610 ...And what does he do when he runs out of butane or his plasma lighter dies?
And it will have the added bonus of smelling like your childhood when "fired".
I love how you assume that, apparently, everyone is the same age as you and has experienced the same things as you when you were a child.
@@GraemeGunn take into account how many of those pop shooters were sold you probally knew someone who had one based off of sales alone it's like knowing the brand nerf but if you want to have a pissy fit about it because you weren't invited to anything go right ahead
@@GraemeGunnThese rolls has been produced since the 1940s and is still in production today (many of the exact same models that I grew up with in the early 1990s are still in stock brand new) and the concept of cap guns are even older. I can easily find references to these all over Europe, Russia (including USSR) the Americas and western Asia.
If you have missed out on this from one reason or another, are curious and would like to know the experience - I will be more than happy to help you out to get a sense of what we are referring to, if you for some reason or another are unable to procure cap gun rolls on your own.
Otherwise please just accept that not all stories, concepts and comments are meant for everyone and it's not in any way disrespectful to anyone to share and reflect about positive moments from your childhood.
@@GraemeGunn bruh that comment was just so unnecessarily petty.
have the same thing in China, also that are different size, there was one 5 times big, they must be made with machine.
That is absolutely amazing. I have a lathe but I'm still working on getting a mill. I love making smaller items and tools. Even doing blacksmithing I always enjoyed the process of the smaller bits. Keep it up man thanks for sharing your talents!
I used to collect a lot more lighters before but nowadays I don’t have the funds for that anymore but let me tell this is an absolutely amazing process you’ve gone through to make this completely beautiful lighter. Keep doing this don’t ever stop and I won’t stop watching either. Good luck 👍
That’s so idiotically, unnecessarily overengineerd. I love it.
Over engineered and mostly useless
@@lorenguaylg but doesn’t that make it cool?
@@pepijnbosvelt2526 if it didn't rely on caps for ignition and was actually soldered properly, maybe.
@@lorenguaylg u can hate on it, I love the fact that it’s so hilariously useless. It’s unique and that makes it cool to me

That is an absolute engineering marvel. Also incredible machining ability and methods of making some very tiny parts,.. I love it.
This guy's friends-"Hey, you gotta light?"
"No, but if you give me a couple hours I'll make you one!"
A couple hours? How about a couple months
Sensual.

This is the most poetic lighter I've ever seen. It's beautiful, and the cap gun ammo makes the entire package retro-modern. It's poetry in motion.
This deserves to be along works by DaVinci .. a true work of art and a real HEIRLOOM you deserve to be up there with the greatest craftsmen. A brilliant piece of work from start to finish and something you should be really proud of to have conceived, planned and carried through well done. It would be an honour for someone to own such a beautiful thing. Dunhill eat your heart out !!!!
Coworker: "Hey man, can I borrow your lighter? Mine just ran out."
You: "ya sure...just don't freak out"
Lol
8 year old me would run through those caps in about 30 seconds, reliving my cowboy days.
I remember running around cowboy cub scout camp with my little cap gun revolver
Strictly speaking you wouldn't be 'reliving,' you would be 8.
Now me would too :)
30 year old me would do the same. I'd request one built with a little storage area for extra caps.
dang right bro
That is/was on or the most exquisitely crafted lighters I have ever seen. Thank you for documenting that incredible work of art.
I can't even come up with the words to say how impressed I am with your talent. Pure genius.
This brought back childhood cowboy memories.
Yup
the smell!!! it just came back to me when it first popped one of the caps.
How can we ignore the fact that you worked for 4 weeks, to create this masterpiece. 🔥.
how can we ignore the fact that the captions say "I spend a month every day" at one point
@@namesarehard1206 that's what I said but in different way 😂
who's ignoring?
@@danielhowell1640 Probably the dislikes
@@namesarehard1206 My Mum took 9 months to produce me!
3 years later and I still often ponder about how much better life would be if i had this lighter.
No words !! this is amazing. I would really like to see the designing process, more of failures and iterations that went through. I am sure it wouldn't have came this good in 1st attempt.
You cannot stop watching it once you start, epic man. One of the finest videos I have seen on youtube recently.
i just skipped....
Sir, I r truly remarkable. I salute u. Brilliant job.
Yup definitely could not stop and the payoff was great! Every 90s kid needs ( like myself ) one of these!!
Ditto!!!
I skipped and was still let down. After I saw the soldering I knew it wouldn't be worth it. Zippo does it better. Hell, even bic does it better.
“I spend a month every day working on this lighter” - damn that’s almost a week
and did you make it??
Not interesting Beaucoup de peine pour rien
5 axis cncs where are you?
@@parealbuffalo5790 from my nearly a year of learning french, "not interesting a lot ..........
I read this comment at the start of the video any I’m still laughing about it halfway through
This is some next level craftsmanship. Truly, it can’t be stopped once you hit the play button.
There's no words to describe this level ingenuity! Absolutely stunning! Great craftsmanship! 🙌🏽
Did I say I was gonna skip forward?
Yes
Did I watch the whole thing anyway?
...
Yes
I wish I had read this 1st. But like the guy that said he was going to skip forward, I watched the whole thing anyways.
Absolutely no one cares.
I love the DIY tag. Like any of us could actually make that.
yeah sure anyone could just spend 100k on machinery
yeah anyone of us could actually do this 😅
He can, which means you can. Don’t get discouraged. You’ll get there one day
@@matts1741 im missing quite a few thousands in gear, and even more in knowledge and experience to be able to pull anything like that mate.
ouch... salty
This creation deserves many many more views and awareness than it has at the moment. Absolutely incredible. Bravo!
The amount of craftsmanship put into this item. Ugh. Amazing.
Not only is the mechanism one of a kind, the craftsmanship shown in the whole process is incredible!
Yup yup
Yeah man. This was nice to watch. My uncle was in USSR army when they invaded Afghanistan in the 80s I think. Maybe 70s. My uncles dad had a shop and he made him a cigarette case and it fit a zippo in there too. He had it in his back pocket and was shot in the ass one time. It didn't penetrate but the heat burned his ass cheek from the bullet piercing the case the lighter and the other side of the case slightly. It went through but just barely. All this soviet talk reminded me of that. Lol. Also a steel case helped I'm sure.
nope. not one of a kind. also a hassle. you cant fiddle with it because if you do. you find yourself reloading another strip of that dots of firecracker powder thing.. wouldve been better if he used a flintlock mechanism.

I'd pay good money for this. I love the smell of paper roll caps.
Old ray guns used them.
we used to set them off by scratching them with our thumbnail in the playground
@@nunyabusiness8538 Did it hurt ?

This is a tinkerers dream lighter. So beautifully crafted, and the caps make it amazingly nostalgic. I love this!
jaw dropping craftsmanship. I'm recommending this channel to my friends
This guy puts soo much effort into his videos,he deserves wayyy more views!
He actually has on the russian account)
The price of lighter flints keeps on going up and up,
so this dude's like Well I'll just put a cap on that shlt...
Well done
Clever

I have never thought that this kind of metal works & machinery is so satisfying and entertaining. It's a very high value video production, great job man! Bravo! Love it!
When he said neither he nor anyone else would ever make this lighter, I had my doubts. However, seeing the end product in use really convinced me. This is definitely a unique lighter than I'm sure nobody will ever make again.
Watching this was therapeutic, took my mind off all of the crap going on in the world. The video itself was a masterclass in it's own right. Thanks
i couldn't have commented better !!!
This really is one of those unique things you'll never see again. 22 minutes hard to forget!
my face lit up almost as much as the lighter when it worked. i have no fucking clue what i just watched but omg i was so invested, i love my zippo and there was something special about this thing. i want one lmao
Steampunk plus modern, unique spark mechanism. Boldly conceived and executed with watchmaker’s precision. Bravo Esquire.
The legend says, after this he went to have coffee, and left the lighter there...
😂😂😂. Some homeless guy found it, and complains everyday about its impracticality.
Ok I grew up in the 80's and this is the coolest thing Ive seen someone do with caps.
Was talking about these the other day and how these were the ones we used to have til they moved over to the plastic caps. So freaking sweet as a lighter cap gun.
Definitely had me with smallest lighter with showing the entire process even if it was not a complete success We have faith you will figure it out.
Love this channel. Thanks for refreshing content.
The stuff we dont see takes probably more talent than the actual building of this. The fact that this was conceived and designed.... most likely in CAD is even more impressive. Then the execution is pretty much flawless.
For a mechanical engineering student like me, this is truly a masterpiece. Technical competence and aesthetic taste are perfectly combined: this is art applied to precision mechanics. I really thank you for sharing with us this work of art!
I mean, it's freaking amazing and beautiful too but wouldn't you agree on the fact that it's over engineered? Or am I missing the point maybe...
@@johanhasslevall7869 Compare this to jewelry. Much tedious, fine work going into something of metals &/or jewels &/or wood so that when it’s all done, it can be worn for people to look at. It doesn’t DO anything. Entire purpose is to look at it and think “pretty”.
So, this lighter... pretty. Interesting. Unique. On top of all that, it also has a function that it performs well. It is both an art piece and a machine.
This is the lighter I didn’t know I was looking for! 🤩
Yeah! I wouldn't mind paying for something like that!
Should be called; When a watch maker gets unleashed at making a lighter.
One of the most relaxing and satisfying videos I have ever seen. Milling, drilling, tapping, cutting, finishing, assembly. And an amazing product!
First time seeing someone use a cnc to make male threads.
Or female ones 😱
Yeah when I saw that, I was like, oh you can do that way too, have never thought about that...
The threads and knurling were both jobs I hadn't imagined being done with CNC. He even milled out a slot that most of us would have just cut.
@@Dutch.W you don’t understand
I don't even machine and I was instantly wondering about that. Normally a thread is cut on a lathe with a ratio gear to adjust the lathe travel/thread pitch, right?
I can just imagine ‘aww.. I need to refill my lighter … where’s the nearest toy shop??’
Wow
The Bugatti of lighters, with a joyful, whimsical approach.
I watched with anticipation, and smiled when I saw the caps. It only added to it’s overall design, and it would be an honor to own something as beautiful as this.
Some folks add so much to life.
Thank you sir for the video.
The build-up to that conclusion, lol. Bravo!
This is my favorite example of engineering art I've seen in a *very* long time.
The video was absolutely absorbing and the end product is truly unique
We should worry more about when the iceberg gonna melt
@@charlietube7165 ?
@@oscaruniverse2552 yes the iceberg is melting...
I like the recitation in the iceberg video, (surat Arrahman)
That is without doubt the most original and hilarious design for a lighter I have ever seen. (and I smoked for 20 years)
Throughout the video all I kept thinking was I wish I had the tools and know how to make something like this. Very well crafted and uniquely beautiful piece.
As excited as I was to see how this was going to work, I quit smoking in the time it took to make it ! 🤣
I've carried a lighter (among other things) just about every day for more than 20 years.
Not only do I not smoke, But I don't think my lighters have ever been used to light a cigarette either.

@@eccomi21 that's not what I meant. Everyone views the world through a different lens.
Example: 3 wooden chairs in a garbage pile.
Most people just see garbage.
A friend of mine sees a weekend project. He repairs and refinishes chairs/tables/dressers that he finds on the side of the road. Then he donates them.
For se people, it's not about saving money. They see something and wonder what is broken, and imagine what it might take to fix it.
Or they see something, and wonder how all the parts fit together. Sometimes they imagine those parts in different combinations, or combined with other stuff.
Costumer: how much is that lighter?
Seller: 500$
Costumer: wtf?
Seller: shows this video

Are you kidding me??? This lighter could easily go for several Grand given the right collector !!!
Pure genius! A nod and a bow to your talent…
It´s hard to think people was able to do similar stuff for 200 years ago. Anyway, this is an AMAZING video!
3:57 nobody talking about that sync
noticed it too, i was like: hold up!
O, I heard it!
That is a work of art. A cap fired lighter is just genius.
impractical as hell, but this isn't a tool, this is art :D
I can easily see this made into a production version, adding the option to put in a traditional spark striker, a flip open wick cover. Beautiful Overengineering that can be tuned down for practicality.
That by far is the most satisfying thing to watch. And the coolest lighter ever!
This is such a beautiful thing. The world really ought to be filled with more things made 'just because'. All of these mechanisms are so attractive.
Wow the intricacy of the design and how it operates is amazing, it's the first time I see a lighter ignite this way!
Awesome. Simply magnificent. Not to mention the clear attention put into just the video alone. I was riveted. I want one!
This was mesmerising, I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second, truly fascinating. Subscribed for more!
I don't know about anyone else, but this was a completely satisfying video to watch.
I feel like there's a need for "coolest lighter in the world" competition to be held yearly- and this one would be #1 of year 2021.
Right!!?? I wanna know how to even get an inspiration for something like this.
And it will only cost you 800 quid.
This is the coolest lighter! I love the smell of those caps after they've been snapped, smells like my childhood.
This is absolutely awesome. The level of creativity and nostalgia with old and modern materials and design is stunning. Bravo
When I was working I used to love making my own tools apprentices used to ask me where I got them from they looked amazed when I said I made them, was a great way to train them and take pride in their tools
Making your own tools is a skill of a real craftsman. My dad tought me to solve my own problems in the shop. And sometimes you have to make a tool for it :) It's a way of thinking outside of the box.
It also feels wonderful when you make something useful and you add a bit of beauty to it... a nice wooden handle perhaps? With little carvings and pretty wood pattern? :)
@@ogi22 only tools I had with a wooden handle where the numerous hammers I had but over the years I replaced quite a few, but being taught by someone who loves there trade is a gift which should be appreciated
They looked amazed because they where told from early age that making something always involves arkane knowledge the person not proper elevated to has not.
When i learned machining I was introduced to the trinity of very arkane mystical concepts that make everything possible humans ever archived.
Patience.
Trial and error.
Elbow grease.
I will loose my membership card for giving that out.... oh well
No lies, this probably is the most unique lighter in the world!

It has that retro feel and look to it but yet one of a kind and beautifully crafted piece the best lighter I've ever seen, definitely one of those you want to own
Ok, I was watching this like "seriously, where the hell is this build going?!" But damn that final product is AMAZING!
21:05 aesthetic pleasure was experienced... yes, yes it was.
the cheesy no copyright music gets old quick
This is like the first time I’ve ever seen metal working or how a person goes about making an object like this and I’m just totally mind blown with my jaw hanging open as if my bottom lip was made of lead or something. Lol makes me want to learn all about this stuff!
There's another channel with garage machinist videos that's a lot more conversational and goofy called This Old Tony. I really like it.
Do it i regret it every day that I never jumped on a metal laith or mill
The finest engineering and machining I have had the pleasure of seeing in many long years!
Congratulations, Sir, on such an unique and beautiful lighter!
Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell, New Zealand.
Great job. Takes me back to when I was a kid and had a cap gun. Love it!
Wow, the end product was really cool!
It’s fascinating to see how much goes in to making all the individual parts and seeing how they all fit together.
You are very talented.
this is a must when you go to the lounge with friends for an evening of cigars, bourbon and good conversation...
That has to be one of the best overly engineered items I have ever seen, I think it is absolutely stunning, ingenious 👌
I have to admit I didn't really get it for a while but glad I stuck with it til the end it was excellent. I want one.
The music is calming and very catchy. I'd love to add it to my collection.
The "black powder lighter" is stunning - a true art project!
This is gorgeous! And so innovative with the mechanism. Well done!
