Check out "deep creep" penetrant spray by seafoam. That stuff makes wd-40 seem like water when it comes to getting through rust and getting things loose.
Awesome results, great job! Not to be petty but you left out how you attached the emblem at the end....epoxy? JB Weld? Just kind of curious because that's the only thing I could imagine giving you any issues going forward? I'm sure you did it right but I'm curious how it was attached. Thanks!
And I was expecting him to leave that thing in Coca-cola the whole night... This is so strangely satisfying to watch. Awesome work, man. So much dedication 👍🏻
I left a rotten tooth and a rusty knife in a glass of Coca Cola for one year, to see what would happen. Result: Nothing. Tooth still looked bad, knife was just as rusty. The rumor is false.
@IJN Yamato In the Beggining of the Video the lighter is in clearly a bad condition and the Narrator claims it's in "Ok condition." Ofc at the end it's much better
That's one thing I wish I had a sand blaster i would use a bench grinder with a wire wheel and various drills with wire brush attachments and dremel to polish
Am the only one that finds watching this Chanel very tranquil ? I absolutely love what this guy does and I thinks it’s extraordinary to bring these ornamental pieces back to their prime but there is something so peaceful enjoyable and tranquil when I’m watching this channel
One of the things I have from my brother after he passed was his Zippo lighter. I would be honestly so proud if this was his and someone was actually able to bring it back to life. Amazing! I even have his old leather case for his zippo!
You NEVER cease to fascinate me. Your art, your abilities, your knowledge of various procedures and tricks that go together with it... a symphony for the soul, if I say so myself! I would love to have your workshop; I would love to be able to do what you do. Just for the satisfaction of creating a thing of beauty. Truly awesome.
I think the lighter was left on a table in the garage & it got knocked off onto the dirt floor, kicked under the workbench. Lost for 35 years - found when someone cleaned out the shack & finally made it's way to you for an Awesome Restoration.
You could spend 10 dollars and get a whole new inside section(where the cotton and the flint and striker are held) and use the outside as it was in the beginning
This is a visually mesmerizing, stunning, hypnotic, beautifully shot video. So contrary to the frenetic pace of most videos. This videographer's work of love for machines.

@@J-B-P Because it doesnt work the best to spray the lighter fluid directly onto the felt. You want the inner cotton material to be staurated to hold the fluid. But trust me, use that little port to fill your lighter. As soon as the level rises to fully saturate the felt you are done.

"bad condition" is when it's a pile of dust and needs to be reconstituted in a reverse entropy defibrillator.
