I gotta make me one of these!

Just caught this restoration video of a wild lighter with a base made of bullet brass cases. I think I have a lighter like that. Gonna have to try and make a similar base. So cool!

You got some empty bras and some links ?
You can generally get them from any surplus store , but from what I've seen you only get a few for a dollar.

Actually, I was thinking of using 40 S&W brass and epoxying them together. Would make the thing much smaller overall and it might actually be manageable.

What about .22 mag ?

If you wanted to achieve the same results, would you use the same tools and processes?

[bonneyman]

I don't know. I'll have to write up a wish list of parts and see what I can find pre-made. Maybe something at the hardware store sold for a totally different purpose might be adapted for this use.

I think it would look good with the bullet tips in place

That one looks like a factory made table lighter with shell casings around the outside. Plenty of table lighters on ebay, or you could probably find one local at a flea or yard sale.

If you want to make something more practical, and way cooler, do a google image search for "trench art lighter" for inspiration.
