How to Make a Zippo Style Lighter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 кві 2022
- I want to start using my old Zippo again and thought it would be fun to make a custom case for it in sterling silver.
This is not a full instructional guide but everything I did to make the lighter is in the video for people who may want to try this themselves.
It could also be helpful to people wanting to make a small hinged box in metal.
Have a go!

Beautifully finished , wonder why I didn't think of this idea...you should start to customized Zippo outer for people.
About the old film cameras, I totally agree with you and I get so annoyed when people ask me to click a pic on their phones and then check it out and ask me click it again if the pic is not looking good .
The suspense experienced before getting to see the exposed pics and the thrill we look forward to seeing the pics is what kids nowadays won't experience .
Tolles Video, hervorragene, handwerkliche Arbeit - "Hut ab"! ... und am Ende hat dein Zippo, trotz des anderen und neuen Gehäuses sogar den oringinalen Zippo Sound (den alle Kopien und Nachbauten dieses Feuerzeuges nicht haben) - es hat eben eine Seele, wie du sagst! Meine Begeisterung ist auf dem Höhepunkt! Ich habe inzwischen auch wieder angefangen mit teilweise 90 Jahre alten Tinten-Füllfederhaltern zu schreiben und das hat tatsächlich auch meine Handschrift zum Positiven verändert!
Vielen Dank. Ich glaube, dass die Dicke und das Gewicht das Gefühl und den Klang der Aktion unterstützen. Ich habe eine weitere aus Kupfer gemacht, die ich im Moment benutze.
Mate, this video is gold. What a marvellous build. A lot of details to consider, and a lot of great advice to be absorbed. 🔥
Try Pencil lead for temp hinge pin, Drafting supplies
Love your work, been wanting more silver videos of this. I must try some day!!
Thanks for the fun
Thats a great idea I never thought of that. I will keep it in mind for next time
Zippo once made a loos proof lighter with a triangle as the hinge pin which would tie parachord to your belt and never loose your Zippo so if O where to make one triangle hinge pin and parachord !
Small thank you. Your video helps me a lot. I want to make 999 silver "Zippo". I was thinking about casting or making own silver sheets with rolling mill (bought recently, not much idea, how to use it). Also I realised, that hinge making is not easy. Your idea is good. Well, as a beginner, I am bad at everything - soldering, sawing, filing, never casted silver... Thank you for your video once more, I see, it is possible and the result is worth it.
Great video! As far as getting a piece like that hot enough to solder, it would be a huge help to put sodlering blocks behind and on the side of the direction the flame is pointing. I have even once gone so far to put an extra one balancing between the two of them (which make a corner around your block)
This helps keep the heat close instead of having it disperse everywhere! I actually have one that is permenantly behind my soldering block because it makes things more efficient for gas and time, because everything gets hot quicker! Sometimes I even add just a little broken piece directly behind what I am going to solder. Works wonders.
The hinge section looks more sturdy compare to the original Zippo brand. The quality of the hinge is better than zippo made.
Try to use a Tipp-Ex pen to mark out where you do not want the solder to reach. You still need to be careful though. Do not throw all the care out of the window..
how funny, last week I was thinking about making a Zippo lighter case.
Good to see you keeping up the grind bro ! I'm sorry I couldn't remain a patron but I appreciate you pushing the limits and making these videos. Peace and love ❤
No worries! People come and go all the time I appreciate any contributions.
Hi Chris, I have watched many of your videos and enjoy your knowledge and love of "old school"ways. I am an amature jeweller /silver smith and use solder paste a great deal. I had a wonderful moment of schadenfreuder watching this video and seeing your struggle with soldering. I would have used the little needle applicator that comes with the tube and run a fine bead of paste along the inside of the box placed a spare solder block behind the piece and then applied heat. The problem you had was due to low temperature. solder paste has its place and is ideal for this sort of job. Little tip though,a;ways put the orange tip back on the nozzle to stop the tube drying out. I often leave the syringe in a small jar with a few mils of water in the bottom to rehydrate it. Love the videos ,please keep them coming. Best regards.
Thank you. I have been using it lately to make a chain its been very helpful. I will try the water technique because it does dry out and clog up the needle thank you
Chain making with paste is so much easier. Anything that eases the load is to be welcomed. Thankyou for the reply.
I noticed people using a scorper to get the groove prior to bending, basically they use piece of tool steel sharpen it to 90 deg, and bend it so that it scratches the surface and leaves a 90 deg channel. might be a good idea for a future video.
originals are made by stamping like cartridges cases no ?
Mate...... could you make me a steel one ? Let me know ? Cheers from Oz 👍🥃🇦🇺
Nice Video, something zippo clicks. Also, really like the intro.
edit something about zippo clicks...
We've been using white-out (titanium oxide) for preventing solder flowing.
A good one to try is putting water on a paintbrush and picking up some thick red rouge to cover the area you dont want sodler to flow! Also, tipex works but smells ultra toxic when its burning off so make sure you try that one with good ventilation
Very good content,,,❤
Try using the round end of your ball pein hammer for making good rivet and finish
I admit my rivets aren't great your way is really good thanks
You can use pencil lead to hold the hinges that's easy to remove
Great job im going to make one mine will have enamel and stones on it
You'd have no problem soldering that with the map gas the yellow bottle at hardware store i use it more than any other i have a smith little but im able to sweat solder belt buckles witth map gas
hey man I appreciate the videos I'm going through the process of making a engagement ring for my girlfriend. it going to be platinum but I'm practicing with silver until I'm ready and was wondering what acid you use after soldering g silver? or if there's a video you talk about it in id love to watch it.
When i make box clasps with a safty latch i use my solder pick and hold the tube to solder it and the pick will sometimes get soldered to the tube so i just torch it off try again
Liked the video thanks. Instead of a case I have been trying to see how to make what I think is called a silver "Trench Lighter". There is only a couple of UA-cam videos - How about having a go?
Make a thicker pin to make wobble go away
I use tippex as a solder stop when making hinges.
Yeah I imagine that would work well
@@DiamondMounter would you be willing to do a video about flat pattern design for complex shape hollow form rings?
How would you get from a basic form (hollow ring project; Ganoksin) to something more complex? (Eg. Hexagonal, shield, poison ring, etc.)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Holy cow i just blooked on net for solid silver Zippo lighter insert 15 to 20 bucks ill get one the solid silver Zippo lighter with nothinng is 200 to 350 with etching they're 500 to 1500 ,mine will have enamel and bezel set stones ill charge 300 to 350
you take dimensions in metric system. 😎
yes the majority of people outside the usa use metric
Am I just internet shopping poorly? Everywhere I look says that that sheet of silver is $300+ dollars. Where should I go to get sheet silver?
that sounds wrong. Try Cooksons UK. They do international shipping
This original zippo 1932
If it is that hard to bend you didn't score it deeply enough. I do this sort of thing and use solder paste. You didn't heat well enough. The paste should pretty-much boil away.
PS: There is one big trick to making a fully-enclosed cube-ish box like that. Maybe I will email you about it. Really busy just now. Road trip coming up...
My soldering equipment isn't very good. I purposely didnt cut down too far so the corners remained strong even with no solder in them.
Yes please email me about making the box!
@@DiamondMounter Will do, when I have time. Packing for road trip just now.
@@menow.I'm about to attempt this project. Can I know the secret too?! :D
@@LimeJello7 To build a cube, make it from two "U-shaped" pieces.
@@LimeJello7 PS: That way avoids having any 3-way inside corners.
Молодец,отличная работа!
Your panhandling at the beginning took so long I forgot why I'm even here.
