Zippo Lighter Restoration, 24 carat gold plated Harley Davidson edition

- Zippo lighter restoration Harley Davidson AWESOME Gold plated 24 carat edition with amazing outcome!
This Zippo lighter is not very old. One of my fans here on KRplus sent it to me from US. He wrote that he lost it at a Bike festival a few years back and that he found it two years later at the same camp where he uses to have his tent. I think that he is going to be very surprised when he sees this restoration video.
RESTORATION PROCESS
I always start with WD40 rust remover. Just to be safe. This zippo lighter inner case was stuck in the zippo bottom case. I had a really hard time separate those two parts from each other. I chosed to sandblast the metal emblem and used my Dremel 3000 mini drill to polish the lighter inner and outer case. After I have cleaned the parts I electroplated the Harley Davidson metal emblem with nickel to make the metal susceptible for the gold plating. I plated emblem with 24 carat of gold many times to achieve a beautiful thick layer of gold.

Spectacular !!! But where are the machinery to be able to make a restoration, like the one you show us?
You left out how to put the emblem back on the lighter. Superglue?
Check out "deep creep" penetrant spray by seafoam. That stuff makes wd-40 seem like water when it comes to getting through rust and getting things loose.
Awesome results, great job! Not to be petty but you left out how you attached the emblem at the end....epoxy? JB Weld? Just kind of curious because that's the only thing I could imagine giving you any issues going forward? I'm sure you did it right but I'm curious how it was attached. Thanks!
Bro I love all your video's watch all the time keep it up mate
โThe zippo is in ok conditionโ looks like it got hit by the asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs
Made me chuckle, tnx.

Who would have thought I would spend 13:11 minutes watching a restoration of a Zippo light? Great video!
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it ๐
Iโm coming off from one drunk night so this video soothes the mind๐๐พ
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm amazed sometimes at what I watch.
๐
I love the fact that there's no background song and we can actually hear him working.
Also, no ubiquitous commentary or sad attempts @ showmanship. Just great workmanship. Other YTers take note. Excellent in every way.
Yeeeeessssss!!!!
Yeah me too. I hate it when they add music to these video's. So annoying.
Would be even better if there wasn't a reminder to subscribe every 2 minutes.
I LOVE not hearing music over this. Because you know SOME KRplus music S**KS.
I just want to say I absolutely love your videos, I just stumbled across them last night and I have been been watching all night lol, the stuff you bring back to life is absolutely amazing,you do a very good job all the way from your restorations, all the way down to the quality of your videos, itโs almost like you add satisfying noises on purpose LOL everything about your videos are awesome keep up the good work sir.
thank you so much I really appreciate it :)
You NEVER cease to fascinate me. Your art, your abilities, your knowledge of various procedures and tricks that go together with it... a symphony for the soul, if I say so myself! I would love to have your workshop; I would love to be able to do what you do. Just for the satisfaction of creating a thing of beauty. Truly awesome.
thank you so much I really appreciate your kind words. THANKS

I think the lighter was left on a table in the garage & it got knocked off onto the dirt floor, kicked under the workbench. Lost for 35 years - found when someone cleaned out the shack & finally made it's way to you for an Awesome Restoration.
Guy: The Zippo lighter is in *OK* condition
I wonder how a โbad conditionโ looks like
"bad condition" is when it's a pile of dust and needs to be reconstituted in a reverse entropy defibrillator.
I think he means all the parts are still there. If he was missing a piece that might be an issue
He was talking about the zippo, not the Harley Davidson part
Gone reduced to atoms

8:33 that was the last sound I would expect it to make lmao
Did I just hear that๐คฃ
Seriously tho, that was edited right? I mean cutting some small piece of metal couldn't possibly make that sound now could it?
Looks like this got dropped in the mud and lost for a few years before someone found it and decided it should be fixed up. Good job restoring it!
I did like the metal polishing work. It was really so great. Finally, brother you made this most rusted lighter as a new one.

One of the things I have from my brother after he passed was his Zippo lighter. I would be honestly so proud if this was his and someone was actually able to bring it back to life. Amazing! I even have his old leather case for his zippo!
Foxxy Sara if you look on the bottom of the zippo there should be some numbers or Roman numbers, that tells you when it was manufactured

This is a visually mesmerizing, stunning, hypnotic, beautifully shot video. So contrary to the frenetic pace of most videos. This videographer's work of love for machines.
You lit up my day with that Zippo restoration, gold and all!
thanks a lot
I did this exact thing maybe about 5 years ago now. I found these 2 old Zippo Lighters underneath a bunch of crap and they were both rusted to hell. Fortunately they weren't completely rusted otherwise it would have been a waste of my time.
Now I didn't have the knowledge that you do with these things or the fancy tools and equipment either. So I had to make use of what I had, toothbrushes, a wire brush wheel you put in a drill, steel wool, WD-40 and other cleaning products.
But eventually I got it all cleaned up and replaced all the rotten wool, pad, wick, flint and to thos day I still have both these lighters and they still work perfectly.
I've even restored a few other Zippo lighter since then for other people. Only difference is on the lot more experienced now than I was back there when I did my first 2.
So where was the great job you did on that Harley Davidson lighter and it looks a million dollar's.
Well done, love from Australia
