    Everyone's on about restoration skills and the lack of music, but can I just commend you on your dedication and creativity? I don't think these videos would be nowhere near as entertaining to watch. Setting up for some of these shots has to be time consuming, but the execution is top notch. Great job with everything, the restoration, the camerawork, the jokes, and the editing!
    Edit: I meant to continue the second sentence. What I meant to say was that I didn't think these vids would be nowhere near as entertaining as are if it was just shots from the same camera angle.

    Awesome resto. Just wanted to share a small tip on the solder joint for the emblem. To keep the joint seamless for such a large emblem you can clip some small pieces of solder and flatten them with a hammer. Then you just put 1 or 2 of those chips on your flux and put the emblem on top of it. Clamp the piece like you did and heat up around the emblem for a bit to warm up the flux and surrounding metal. Then aim at the emblem until it settles into place. That’ll keep the solder joint on the back of the emblem instead of on the edges.

    That Zippo was made in March 1991. I can't believe that it was that badly worn down, and I can't believe it looks that great! I found a 1962 Zippo metal detecting that was filled with rust inside. It took two hours to open, and I went through it and got it repaired and working well again. One one hand, I like the wear marks and whatnot as it tells a story but on the other hand I love how yours turned out!!

    @geoffquickfall 4 года назад +12

    As usual, excellent job!
    To hide the solder, use a razor blade and shave of tiny amounts of the solder. Add it to the flux in the center of the badge. Place badge in correct position and clamp. Then add heat. The solder will melt and flow under the badge from the center outward. You don’t have to wick it from the side in to the center. This will prevent any solder affecting your perfect nickel plating.
    Cheers and keep up the good work.

You know, like the "dry ice" thing which is actually frozen CO2 so it doesn't turn into water but is still called "ice".

      Please tell me where you got this info. I have the exact same lighter. My grandfather gave me as a gift when I was 13. Always wondered what the symbol was etc. don’t know how he got an American army zippo as we are Canadian.

      The hole is just for helping the lighter fluid to turn into a gas, the fluid it self isnt as flamible as youd think. The company actually recommends you keep spare flint *under* the felt pad.

    I restored a few of these in my time and soldered emblems and coins to them.
    You applied the solder to the outside edge thus making a messy pool of solder there
    which would look even more obvious on a brass zippo.
    To overcome this, I made a tiny ring of multicore solder and clamped it under the emblem,
    applied heat from a blow torch and when the solder melts, the clamp pushes the emblem onto
    the surface of the case. Done!
