Mini start. The author had an old Gusak, part of a bath faucet, from which he had long wanted to make something incredible. The author took the gander, picked up a suitable nut about the battle.
Then he cut off a workpiece of a special length in order to begin work.
He cut a special plug from a sheet of brass.
Then, from the same tap, he made a support for the wheel (wheel) for flint and he had to cut a groove under the wheel with a file.
We drill a hole and try on the wheel, whether it is suitable or not. After several attempts, it came up. Further, the author cuts the thread and picks up a bolt.
Then it makes a wicker part from brass bolts.
With the next step, he drilled 2 through holes.
Then we solder all the details to their rightful places.
Further from the spool cap, mini, that is, a small bolt and wheel from a long-time camera, he assembled a cover for the wick.
Therefore, then he cut out 2 parts from the same brass sheet for fixing the lid and wick to the firing frame.
We solder the parts all together.
To the part through which the lighter will refuel, i.e. he soldered to a nut a detail from the USSR fotik.
After installing all the parts, there was a very advanced and long process of stripping, and then polishing. Further, he used a long time method of using ammonia vapor to construct patination.
Then he re-polishes the lighter with a patina applied to its surface.
Then he filled the inside with cotton wool, before soaking it with fuel. Then he installed a spring, flint and a wheel with a wick.
