Zippo Customization

Posted by BFDesigns on 4/8/2009

Just an easy day project for the hell of it.

I got tired of looking at my plain old brass pipe zippo. Even though it has a different mantle in the fact that it is a pipe lighter and has to be tilted sideways to light, it still wasn't different enough for my tastes so I put two almost identical red tiger's eyes on either side. And then to top it off, I threw a wire brush wheel on my buffer and gave it an interesting brush texture that I might have to explore with my next pieces.

Materials:
-Brass Zippo Pipe Lighter
-20ga Sterling silver sheet
-2 x 15mm Red Tiger's Eyes (Chemically Dyed)
