I make a Lighter from Stainless Steel

In this video I'm going to build a lighter completely from scratch out of solid stainless steel. I have this idea from the russian channel called "Левша" (Levsha). He has built the same lighter, I just designed it a bit different.

Check out his channel and video.

I remember when I first saw his video of this lighter, I really liked the design and wanted to make one myself. I have reached out to him and asked for permission to copy his design, I'm very glad he agreed. Now the time has finally come to make it.

I made my design slightly different. On my lighter the inner ring is the removable part from the body and is held in place by the fake wick holder sealed with three o-rings. I also made my version completely out of stainless steel (1.4305). I did first plan to make a mirror polished finish on the whole thing, but I have later changed my mind and went with a brushed finish instead, which turned out absolutely amazing in my opinion. This was a very fun little project. It required a lot of very precise machining and had a lot of very tiny details. I'm very happy how this has turned out and I'm glad I have now finally done this project.


I hope you like my work and the video.
