Lighter Repair Project |
|
I have always been attracted to the craftsman. The process becomes a work of art.
![]() Lighter Parts One of my upstairs adventures yielded this box of zippo-like lighter parts. The lighters were not so much broken as never assembled. I decided to see how many working lighters I could produce. ![]() Production Video I created a video of my hands assembling the lighters. They were quite tricky, but I did develop a method. Over time my eye was keyed in on the details of the various parts. I could tell if a sprocket was bunk or not. ![]() Finished Lighters In the end I was able to produce over 60 working lighters. I was quite satisfied with the results. As a side note, I was assembling the lighters in the front window of the Elsewhere shop sort of the Craftsman on display type thing. ![]() Assembly Line A setup with the lighters hot-glued to a board. |
