Rare Vintage Lighter Restoration - Clinton Squeeze Lighter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- I will restore this awesome Clinton squeeze lighter. There is some rust and damage from pitting but the mechanism works. Also the plating on the lighter is in need of a restoration. I really like this type of mechanical lighters because it’s always fun to take look and see what’s inside.
The restoration was quite straight forward. I had no issues with the disassembly, other than the fact that some parts fell out and I didn’t see where they came from. Luckily it didn’t take too long to figure out how to put it back together.
I used rust remover to get rid of the rust. It is very simple solution when there are a lot of small pieces and it is not abrasive. I also like to use rust remover because I often get the disassembly filmed quite late. I can get the part to rust remover fast and then leave them there overnight and continue the next day.
After rust was removed I sanded all the pitting from the parts. This took many hours I had to be very careful with the largest shell part because there was this pattern and I didn’t want to ruin it by sanding.
After sanding I first copper plated the parts and then nickel plated them over the copper. The copper will increase the durability of the plating. Here’s my nickel plating tutorial, copper plating works with the same principles. • How to make simple DIY...

The other parts were pretty much ready to be polished and then nickel plated from the rust remover. Here is my nickel plating tutorial for more information on the process: • How to make simple DIY...

Such a fan of your work, no annoying music, you’re winning the UA-cam game, simply perfect, keep it up!
@B B if you mean Odd Tinkering, he started with testing that lighter by squeezing it first which the lighter didn't even spark.
if you mean the other channel, then I misunderstood.
I wish I could give your comment 100 thumbs up!!!
I agree 💯
At least this guy doesn't soak a nice lighter in vinegar for a month and then "restores" it like the other channels do.
agreed
His transition effects have ascended to a new level...
transition this 4:58
"It's a little rusty..."
*shows the surface of Mars*
"You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of m̶a̶r̶s̶ a lighter"
The fact that Mars’ surface is almost nothing but Iron Oxide just makes this comment so much more scientifically funny. Congratulations, sir.
Lucas Andrews put me in the screen cap
Archie Cameron he meant that as a metaphor you dummy.
@@dense331 you must be fun at parties
It's amazing how the body language of just your hands conveys the "Oh no... how did that go together, did I just mess up? I hope this goes back together" when some of the parts just fall apart in them.
Those were my actual thoughts. But it wasn't so hard to future it out with the filmed footage after all. It was also extremely tricky to put back together 😁 all the pieces around the wheel were just falling off when I tried to put them in
Odd Tinkering uhoh
I love this channel it’s quiet and doesn’t blast the music like other UA-camrs
well you can't get demonetized for what you say if you don't say anything
My mechanics and tysy tube are similar to this channel, they do restorations and dont add annoying music
it's nice so you can put it to 2x speed without turning the background music into an alvin and the chipmunks cover
I love your lighter videos! My half-brother old lighter came from his late father as a gift and it was lost in their pool for months. It was rusty and gross when we found it so my brother just placed it in a drawer and left it to collect dust. I loved the idea of restorating lighters (hince this channel) and tried some methods like the sanding and the rust remover, nothing to hard. And once I gave it a good clean, I gave it back to my brother and he was so pleased.
Thanks to you, now my brother can have a working lighter and a good momento from his father! Love from Missouri, USA ❤️
My Dad have 2 Silver Ronson lighters that he luckily takes good care of, one from my grand dad and one he got as "done with school" present back in 64

Leave them be, honey
I appreciate not only the care that goes into the restoration but the quality of the video/transitions. Another fine job.
If this was "a little rusty" I'm afraid to see what *really rusty* looks like to you :)
It's weird seeing you in PePanga's comments and Odd Tinkering's comments
It was not bad. Mostly surface rust and rusty water. Not bad at all tbh.
@M.Faathir Arsa please end your incessant need to feel validated
It is only a little rust it’s only surface rust
y'know, i didn't realize i liked the sound of sandpaper being cut until now
KittyKat 5090 right? it’s so crunchy.
KittyKat 5090 i was hoping someone would say that
The sound is just 👌
It's satisfying
I really enjoy these videos. They are calming and not annoying in the slightest. The aspect of no music makes it better so you can hear all of the components making noise. It's like a better version on ASMR. It's also surprising how you can get humor through no noise at all. You're doing great work for UA-cam. Stay safe.
2:05 was the smoothest transition i've ever seen. Props to you dude
Thought so too
1:32 It looked like you were pulling a mouse carcass out of the lighter.
@AJ Collins Right! I think that every time I see him do a video like this! And I was thinking the same exact same thing this time too especially because it was so gray and speckled with red like blood spots. 😬
looked like a fuckton of pocket lint.
It was probably something a person had found under his couch the other day
I 100% thought, "Damn, someone straight just put dry lint in there and said fuck it good enough." haha
I love how it is so calm. No music.No fuzz. And compare to similar channels this is by far the BEST! I like how you thoroughly show us everything. I don't know a lot about restoring, but I feel like I learn something when you describe each step in depth. Always a great edit on your videos, nothing is too noisy and stands out too much, I just love it all
Sand papering is my favourite section of your videos. It makes the parts go from "you don't know my pain" to "I'm ready for greatness".
Doing the copper plating before nickel plating really demonstrated your commitment to fully restoring it properly 👍
Found your channel completely by accident and I am loving it. As a chemistry teacher, it gives me a burst of nerdy joy to see electrochemistry (arguably what my students find to be the most boring) featured so prominently!
Amid all the noise of this pandemic, it's another Odd Tinkering restoration that soothes the mind.
Damn, almost a year later
Been watching for what seems like a year now. Just wanted to say keep up the great work. Im always eagerly waiting for the next restoration :)
I was on the edge of my seat when you had SO MANY LAYERS all held together by a single screw!! Incredible work on getting it back together, it looks beautiful!
I’ve been a big long term fan of the channel, and love your videos. I have to say I really appreciate the extra work you have put in to editing the videos. They are immensely satisfying to watch, you can tell you put as much time into the film making aspect as the actual restoration. Thanks 😊
I've noticed over the course of the past year how many people started restoring things and trying to repeat your ASMR + clever cutaways. You're the OG and one of my favorite channels. Keep it up!
I dream of your gloved hands sanding rusting metal. You are the UA-cam restoration GOAT
I absolutely love your channel. These videos are so therapeutic somehow... Just to watch someone take something apart, fix it, and put it all back together again is super calming.
a simple, non-electronic, manually-operated, handy and functional accessory restored to its original beauty and essence. bravo maestro!
These restoration videos are very relaxing to watch, gives that asmr feeling too.
Wow, you are so talented and a fine artist, mechanic, engineer!! First, to deal with restoration of such tiny parts just amazes me! This piece is such a treasure now snd priceless! Great workmanship!!
I seen this one guy puts the smaller pieces in a jar, filled with sand, attached to a drill and lets it spin. When the time comes all pieces are nice and pretty
Its amazing to see you work. You take more care in restoration than they did in manufacturing
Am I the only one that falls asleep to his content, more for his relaxing demeanour than anything else? Chills me right out.
Excelent job!
Perfect video with no sound failures and good edition...
BRAVOOO!
I watch these restorations with my heart in my mouth; 18 individual bits, which all spring apart; how on earth is he going to remember which bit fits where? It's better that many crime mysteries, and the end rest is sooooooo rewarding!!
Awesome little lighter, it looks so dieselpunk. I love how you slide the wick and cotton container in like the magazine on a handgun.
The copper plating is so cool! I also enjoyed that you used the copper from your “steel mold.” 😁 I really do enjoy your videos and your sense of humor.
the way he sands the parts is soothing to the ears
Still amazed how he manages to put together the tiny intricate stuff with gloves on
We need more people like you your amazing
The cotton pulling and rust removal are so so so satisfyingggggg
6:55 I love this shot of the focus adjusting down the tube! ♥️
Nicely done, sir. This is the first lighter I have seen that had that removable base, obviously it was a table model that was possibly attached to a surface for display and could be removed, used and then replaced on display. Enjoyed the video thanks for sharing.
I would just like to personally thank you for bringing “chuck norris’ toothbrush” into my life. a true legend
The sound of tools, sanding, polishing, plating, it's just, woahhhhh........
I love your videos. Not only do they bring joy to the restorer in me your camera choices are hilarious!! The slow twist of the flint wheel to watch it drop out. BRILLIANT! Keep up the good works!
I lowkey appreciate that the comment section / the video give off wholesome vibes I'm glad I watch these videos keep up the amazing content! 😔💕
I like that lighter very versatile design with stand and removable outer case i can imagine your on the go travelling overnight travelling on a train you want to write something or read a book most people would light a candle removing the case from the lighter makes use of it as a candle and the base design gives you something to hold if your walking in the dark whoever came up with this design was thinking about all scenarios and occasions
As well as the gun, I have this lighter too! You have good taste in lighters! I use small drill bit to clean remove the old flint. There is a spring missing that pushes the trigger back & snuffs the flame.
Lighters are so fascinating idk why
Your videos are so wonderful I can only wish to have the skill and tools and materials you have one day. Bravo!
The chemistry behind a lot of this is genuinely astonishing.
Edit: autocorrect is evil
You’ve done it again. Great video. I love old lighters. Keep restoring them 👍🏻.
Excelente video. Por fin UA-cam me recomienda algo de calidad👏❤️
Nuevo sub❤️✌️
i just love how big the flame can be from it, you did a great job
Pieces by pieces. The beauty from the beast.
Proficiat.
My favorite part about this restoration is how you stuff the wick in between each filling; that way if they ever need to replace what’s inside all they have to do is pull on the wick instead of having to pull it all out with tweezers. Genius.
This is so satisfying!! I could fall asleep watching this
Me 10 mins later: *snoring*
Any of your vids are satisfying really tho, I just love watching you take apart and restore stuff, it makes me calm, keep up the great work!
That is legitimately an awesome looking lighter.
Exceptional work!!
Another great video! Such an elegant looking lighter restored! Thanks for providing these videos that I enjoy watching!
yet another quality upload, from an awesome channel, keep up the amazing work.
Seeing the process of it being restored really made me want that lighter 🥺
something about these videos just feels therapeutic to me
I don't know why but when i watch these video's i feel so relaxed.
Fantastic Clinton Squeeze Lighter restoration !!!!!!!!!!!! Two thumbs way up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing to watch you. I honestly love watching you.
I never skip any of the adds on your channel so you get extra UA-cam money :) legend mate, love your work!
You're the real mvp
I never knew that happened. I thought they got paid anyway
I could just watch a whole video of him pulling the old wicks out of these old lighters. Dunno why, but it's something I find satisfying.
At this point, I won't even be surprised if he uploaded "Dinosaur Fossil Restored to Orginal State"
Sir...... you are a Wizard ! Thank you for posting 👍🇦🇺🥃
Probably the coolest one yet
Very good and cleaver idea with the stand so u can use it as a sort of candle great finish 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION, ODD. ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOUR WORK.
I'm noticing better transitions from clip to clip. great work guy!
thank you for joining me in this quarantine period
Greetings from Italy🇮🇹
物に対する愛で溢れているのが動画から伝わってくる。
高評価しかあり得ない。
This is the only restoration chanel I like to watch 👍
Sympathetically well restored, and made extremely well functional nce again.
Hi ODD 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝not an ordinary lighter 🔥but also a cool restoration 👍👍👍💣👌🏽✌🏻Greetings to you from Russia 🇷🇺
Never seen one of those types of lighters before. Really cool.
В каждой зажигалке из 40-70х была своя "изюминка",свой характер.Механика!
You are so good. Can you do more consoles and electronics? They are fascinating.
Operating that lighter looks so satisfying. I want one!
this might be the coolest thing so far!
New lighter ^-^ thx for the vid
In my mind, as your stash of lighters grows, the chances for an auction grow so your followers can snatch one up :-D
Copper AND nickel - crazy stuff on a Sunday morning :-D
Such great videos. I feel accomplished if I manage to get my oven racks shiny...
I come here for a break from the usual noisy, opinionated UA-cam. I can’t get enough of your content.
Thank you for not patronising the viewer by talking at them to death like others do.
it’s just all, great. so thank you. ♥️
It’s really satisfying when he takes all the screws out haha
Love the video! Please keep posting with your outstanding presentation
Am I the only one that puts on these restoring videos to fall asleep to?😂 It’s so soothing to watch
I'm really angry at the 274 dislikes. What can a person possibly dislike about this video! Your work is always freaking amazing!!!!!
People dislike because they don't want to see these types of video's in their recommendation. As the Not Interested part never seems to work.
bruh this dude is the one and only person keeping the WD40 business going!
I’m addicted to these videos! Why!??!??
I like it how he cleans and fix things it satisfies me
Odd Tinkering The best restorer on the net.
Let me tell ya, that's a really classy lighter, it gives me this James Bond vibe...
And also ur video transitions are always a surprise and i love how accurate your work is! Awesome job!
If this this man had merch, the biggest seller would be the signature black gloves.
I like the sound of sand paper and I love your work man I like this idea it's very satisfying
I enjoyed the video and I loved how the lighter looked like a gun being reloaded
the lighter restorations are the best
That camera focus through the tube was *muah* Perfection
LOVE the vids man there relaxing thanks for the great content
Yes!! Another great video. I've been waiting daily for a new one.
this is so pretty i love watching you restore things
