Making a Steampunk Lighter "Barrel" 

You say it like it is mandatory to upload a video every other day. Some of us have a life, you know. I mean, life outside the web that is, does it ring a bell?

I understand you, but unfortunately not everything depends on me. Thanks for waiting.

@@johnphilippatos no I didn't say it in a way that it's mandatory to upload daily, I said it sarcastically. Some of us love his work and want to see more of it so🤷🏻‍♂️

@@BanjoShow Άστον μωρέ, ένας ένας απαιτητικός, λες και το πληρώνει το RU-vid από την τσέπη του....

@@epicflicks7657 Ok, got it. But you've got to admit, it's quite easy to misinterpret your words the way you wrote them, especially when English ain't someone's mother tongue. Take care.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you bro!

Thank you.

Yep, thank you!

Yes, I'm still studying it. Thanks.

I think you are using too strong a solution or keeping the part in the solution for too long. You also need to understand what you are using chemical cleaning of brass for. If you are doing this to patina later, then fine, but if you want the part to shine and keep its shine for a long time, then chemical cleaning is not suitable for this, rather, on the contrary, the part will darken very quickly. To make the part shine for a long time, you need to use polishing pastes with wax additives or, after polishing, paint the brass with a transparent two-component automotive varnish.

@@BanjoShow In some of your videos, you see bubbles rise very quickly. Shine is not needed, I just want it uniform and look "all the same" like yours :p I see lots of bubbles and then it looks all clean and matt.

Thank you. After I had the idea of this lighter, I started working on a 3D model on the computer, which took me about one week. For about 5 days I made parts for the prototype, after which I made some changes in the design and methods of making parts. Then I made a second copy of the lighter with changes in 3 days. In total, I got about 15 days. Now to make a lighter from the beginning to the end, it will take me about 2 days. If you shoot a video and make a lighter, then this is a very long process; this video took me 8 days and 2 days of editing on a computer.

@@BanjoShow wow, well the end product turned out great.

Thank you!

Хаха, спасибо!

@@BanjoShow хотя, видео получилось немного... суховатым, что-ли... станок выточил, станок просверлил, станок отфрезировал... Надфиля не хватает) Но времена меняются, темп жизни всё быстрее, надо это принять как данность...

I would not say that this machine is small, since it takes up a decent place in my workshop, but when compared with industrial scale machines, then yes, compared to machines in production, this is a very small machine. Machine model: EMCO 120

I already wrote about this somewhere, but I’ll repeat it again for you: in March 2020, my Google account was hacked and they gained access to a RU-vid channel that was linked to this Google account. To regain access to the RU-vid channel, RU-vid support could not come up with anything else but to completely delete the RU-vid channel, and then give me the opportunity to link a new Google account to the restored RU-vid channel. As I was told by support, deleting a RU-vid channel and then restoring it deletes the entire history and character of the channel. From the RU-vid platform, as well as a very large number of subscribers were untied from the channel, that is, by the numbers they are subscribed, but notifications and my videos are in their feed not shown. And it turned out that I got access to a RU-vid channel, which the RU-vid platform itself considers as a newly registered RU-vid channel that cannot be trusted with 450,000 subscribers who do not see my videos and of course my videos are not promoted in any way. As you can see, all my subsequent videos that were uploaded to the RU-vid channel do not have such a number of views that would be comparable to the subscribers of this channel and all my videos that have more than 100 thousand views are those rare cases when I contacted support with my problems and they did something there and the views grew a little more. I’ll explain why I’m saying all this: in order to shoot a video, I need to completely close the workshop for the duration of filming the video, which is about 2 weeks, and only do video shooting, which means that I will not be able to fulfill incoming orders. When the views on the channel were good, the profit from the RU-vid channel compensated for the time when I did not fulfill orders. Since now the RU-vid channel does not generate any significant money, I cannot simply shoot videos as a hobby, renting a workshop, paying workers, and many other expenses simply do not give me the opportunity to shoot videos for my pleasure. Therefore, filming videos for a RU-vid channel occurs only when I have at least a little free time and it’s all out of pure enthusiasm since it doesn’t bring profit. I am planning to make videos for RU-vid, but I have not yet found a solution on how to do this.
