Work on the manufacture of a lighter begins with the preparation of the body of brass.Driven into a lathe.And then a special fastening is done.The metal tube is cut in half.A pair of fixing holes are drilled.
Then the brass tube is clamped into the girth and is charged into the head of the lathe.Next, the lathe is configured, for the next operation.And flaring.Then the drum changes and work continues. Here is what our author ended up with.Decor elements were also made, or as the master kit “steampunk” says.The most important part of the future lighter.The resulting elements are soldered.Then the author takes these shells here, which were brought to him by a friend who is engaged in plasma cutting, these are the spent parts of the burners.Of these, the author made a special container for storing spare parts for lighters, silicon, etc.
