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!
