The process of creating a lighter from a plumbing tee do it yourself.
Our author has long been engaged in the manufacture of a variety of unique gizmos in the style of "steampunk"and he has already given this lighter 58 in a row, so the master has a lot of experience behind him. What is most important, all the work is absolutely unique and does not look like one another, which is quite important these days.

After another replacement in the house of leaking plumbing, the author had some more material for the manufacture of lighters and other steampunk attributes, namely a tee. In the head of the master, an image of the future product was instantly outlined and he immediately took up work)

That's actually the same tee.
The master sawed off the extreme part of it.
Then he charged into the chuck of the lathe and began to bore holes to the diameter he needed.
The detail is non-standard as you see, and the author had to change the machine chuck to 4-cam, in order to securely fix the part for subsequent processing.
Continues to bore. This hole will serve as a cache for storing spare parts for the lighter, that is (flint, wick).
The cache itself is made.
Hide cover.
The lid will be in the form of a valve, for which the author pokes a small depression.
Here's a valve with four spokes.
Wind protection and the wick sleeve are also bored.
Soldered to each other.
Soldered plumbing element.
Top cap with external thread.
Another valve in the making.
Soldering the brackets for attaching the windshield cap.
Harvesting of the subcutaneous tube.
Made and soldered.
Lighter components before soldering.
Directly the process of soldering parts into a single design.
The cap opening mechanism is fastened with a bolt and nut.
Flint and wheel are installed.
In the cache compartment you can hide a spare wick and several pieces of flint.
As you can see the hole cavity is quite roomy.
As a decor, he secured an English coin (1 pound) which he brought from Britain. Visiting shops and supermarkets in a distant country, the author received a change in change upon purchase and put aside interesting copies of coins, as a keepsake)
That’s actually a lighter.





Tries to light.
Everything worked perfectly the first time) Cheers on fire!

Lied! ))) ... And I’m lying all the time! ... - Actually, I’m da-a-Aleko not strong in carpentry! smiles
... And this phrase ("I'm not on these matters - I'm more and more on the carpentry") I picked up in a movie, and I repeat it quite often. Mostly at work, when they try to drag me, for example, into the intricacies of 1C accounting ...

That's actually the same tee.
.... "Tee" - from the word "three" ... And this is a plumbing collector, in common people - a "comb".

Well, did they say that you understand only "wood"? Lied to society?)))

A shy link to the author?

And so the doctors bought a diploma in the subway passage and a plastic surgeon!
A shy to bring?
You can’t drag this bandura in your pocket.
I think lighters should be banned!

And also prohibit pockets on clothes - they carry cigarettes ....))))))

Are you kidding me? I threw this to a friend turner, he said 500 euros .. and still think about doing it or not ... and people quit smoking! I think lighters should be banned! A lathe in every home!
