Might've been an improvement! I did a worse job than usual with the commentary.

Well done, I was waiting for the exploding cigar at the end though.   Might have to make one of these in brass. :beer:

I had them linked in the video description on youtube. Calling them plans seems a bit much, i'm not a good draughtsman. They're what I was working towards as a guide, but most stuff was made to fit rather than strictly adhering to the plan.

Also don't be put off cutting threads on the lathe. If I can do it i'm sure you can. Although you could try something with magnets to hold the cap on.

Great video as usual Simon, and I got a workholding method out of it -- the lighter in the piece of plywood. I'll be using that one for sure! :thumbup: :thumbup: :bow:
