    Such a cool project! My Great-grandfather was on a train almost to New York to ship out to WWI when the war ended in 1918! When they got word about the war's end, they put all the soldiers on another train heading back home to Texas! Man... using that rail track for this project is so flipping awesome!

    I collect Trench Art. I clicked on this video because I was hoping to perhaps get some ideas about how to repair some of the trench lighters that I have at home. Not far in, I cried foul because those things were made, by hand, often with improvised tools, by people that were doing it out of boredom in between bouts of mortal terror, and this is not that. Surely, this is nonsense! It wasn't. The amount of care and attention that you put into these is beyond question. I'm beyond impressed. Well done. It maybe wasn't what I thought it could be, but it's bloody fantastic. Carry on, please.

    I remember learning about zippos and not just how they’re made but tips and different ways you can make em work. You can stack the wix within the saturated cotton differently. You can tweak your wix twine as well. From material and how woven tight it is.

    Need this. I carry an Exotac TitanLight and it’s machined so incredibly well that it’ll hold fluid for…? 8 months plus? With very little evaporation. However, it’s a little too large for every day carry, and, while I certainly appreciate the functionality and the aesthetic, the latter leaves a little bit to be desired.
    Along comes this badass piece that essentially checks all the boxes for me.

  • @user-ue4he3li8b
    @user-ue4he3li8b 16 часов назад

    I love the design and historical elements. I would still like to see a version that allows for one-handed operation so you'd need to devise a system that allows for the removal of the cap and a detention system. A simple thumb-post off the side of the cap could be pushed up and off the lighter and in that post could be a cord or chain that attaches it to the lighter's body. That might require both hands to re-cap it though or some dexterity to manipulate the chained-cap back on.
    As a "trench lighter", one-handed operation would seem useful, maybe even necessary. But clearly there's a whole century of invention that 's taken place to address these issues but straying from this form factor. I hope to see you evolve the design while maintaining the original spirit. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Cheers.

  • @jeffschroeder4805
    @jeffschroeder4805 19 дней назад +1

    Is the windscreen also acting as a heat sink, drawing enough heat from the flame that it is inhibited? You did get it to work by allowing more air to reach the flame so it is no longer an issue. Most commercial lighters use stainless steel which is a relatively poor conductor to protect the flame. It is a beautifully wrought idea. Thank you for sharing.

    The wick needs frayed! More surface area for the fuel to evaporate AND catch a spark easier!
    It'll make the base of the flame larger leading to the entire flame being bigger
    I also think them getting warm is also a pro instead of a con, in the winter time i carry a zippo so I can let it burn for 2 or 3 minutes and it works as a hand warmer
