N3FOL 133 Posted November 17 Share #2 Posted November 17 That was a lot of work to restore a lighter. Nice video. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Patch 806 Posted November 17 Author Share #3 Posted November 17 True but think of the significance of the piece, its falling point in history. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
N3FOL 133 Posted November 17 Share #4 Posted November 17 It didn't mention where was the lighter found. Any idea where? Link to post Share on other sites
Condor 1,787 Posted November 18 Share #5 Posted November 18 Nice job, but... patina means a lot on something historical. Rather than restore it to working condition and making it look like a bunch of other reproductions I'd let it sit in a mixture of 1:1 white vinegar and water to clean off the corrosion and leave it alone rather than torching it and sand blasting,,, My 2 cents...

N3FOL 133 Posted Thursday at 04:10 AM Share #7 Posted Thursday at 04:10 AM Normandy. That is for sure a keeper. With the condition it was when it was found and to see the finished product is just impressive. The guy in the video truly has skills. Link to post Share on other sites
