Zippo lighter restoration - US Army lighter brought back to life
I will restore this Zippo lighter someone had found from the ground. It was most likely lost by an US army man years ago, but I don’t think it has been in any war. The lighter is very oxidized and most of the old plating is gone. The insert is in much better condition but it also need a little restoration. Luckily the hinge is not broken so I don’t have to repair it. That is not easy.
I started the restoration with disassembly. The lighter doesn’t have many parts so this was easy to do. I used a miniature propane torch to loosen the emblem. I decided to use rust remover for the steel insert and ketchup for the brass shell to remove oxidation.
After oxidation was removed, I needed to sand off the remaining old plating from the shell. If I didn’t it would be really hard to get a good finish on the piece. After sanding the plating off I polished the parts with wool buffing wheel and metal polishing compound.
Before I could re-plate the polished parts they needed to be cleaned from grease and polishing compound. I used acetone for the job. Then it was time to replate the parts with nickel. I used electroplating method. You can learn more about that from here: • How to make simple DIY...
After the plating, I attached the emblem back on with some solder. I used flux to help the solder flow between the parts. It might look like the solder didn’t go between the parts but it only needs very little solder in there because the layer is so thin. As you can see I scratched the part quite violently and it sticks.
Then I assembled the rest of the lighter and added new cotton, wick and other parts on the inside.

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.

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

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.

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.

All these years and I never knew the hole in the felt pad was for an extra flint. I always used it as a fill hole because I was too lazy to lift the pad.
13:44 “felt pad thingy.” On this channel, we use only the most professional terminology

Ah yes
I found a bunch of old zippos my father had after he passed away that are all old and rusted. I've wanted to try and restore them for some time now and this video makes me want to do it even more
I can’t be the only one that thought the rust made the zippo lighter look badass.
No toothbrush was harmed during the making of this video.
I like to believe that when he’s done he randomly just asks someone “hey you want a army lighter for free”
Liked and shared on Facebook this is the first video I have watched in months that’s held my attention sir I hope you make more restorations now to sun and see what else you have very awesome video
Excellent video! Love the way you brought this lighter back to life
Love the vids, Keep em up!
My oh my, such a great Restoration.

man this videos are the one thing that can make me survive quarentine
The editing style is like if HowToBasic was calm and fixed things instead of destroying them.
Amo éstas restauraciones.👍

best restoration channel so far. The way you film and present the video is awesome.
You are so cool! I've been putting your videos to play in the background as I work and I just keep getting distracted by them instead. Love how soothing all the sounds are. Makes me wanna be more handy.
4:30 - I looked at the "liquid ice" contained and wondered to myself - hum, wonder what's that made of? LOL DOH! LOL

6:20 This man is either a maniac or a genius.
I inherited 2 zippo lighters and luckily they just needed some polishing on the outside cases. But now I see how to redo the inside! Thank you
Awesome, simply awesome. Thanks, Al
Amazing restoration my friend 🤗

Dear diary, today, I learned that you can put a spare flint into the felt thingy of a Zippo. I never ever noticed that before.

Yup. My Dad used Zappos for years and I loved watching him hide the extra flint every time.

I once found about 2 or 3 dozen extra flints under the felt of a Zippo from eBay.

Back when I smoked, I never used the little hole. But I always stuck 2 extra under the felt
Sir, I love your restorations and humour!
That lighter move was smooth
