You can get your very own rare antique brand-new lighter on EBay at "Diy Steampunk lighters Brass Homemade Vintage cool Handmade Lighter petrol VTG". If you like patina you can buy a kit online or soak it in strong urine (I would remove the cotton first otherwise the tobacco will be a bit flavoured). Rather than showing us how he takes off the patina Random Hands himself put on the lighter, I would like to know Random Hands method of faking antiques.

Awesome work and great footage. I use steel/brass wire wheel when it comes to polish/cleaning metals. And if you use brass wire wheel on brass with a polishing compound you get pretty good shine and it cleans polishes treads and hard to reach places at the same time.

I need to hire some birds to chirp cheerfully in my vicinity. The beginning of this video gives me such good feels.
