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

A work of art, and a thing of beauty ! The lighter. The video. And the workshop. Some people don't appreciate evolution, mechanics , innovation, and history. P.S. never chamber a live round until ready to use.

This lighter seems to be excessively engineered, and I absolutely adore it! By the way, your video is truly captivating!

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

What a magnificent thing to look at, hold, and treasure. Beautiful piece.

Bu ta ful….ingenuity and complexity working together…thanks for sharing….

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.

Their is no one that can say you don't have one hell of an imagination. And some serious design and machining skills. Well done.

this is a must when you go to the lounge with friends for an evening of cigars, bourbon and good conversation...

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.
