“Not the easiest to turn with the larger diameter and no bushings, but the final product is beautiful. I made my first one in walnut. I had planned to give it away, but haven’t been able to part with it. It is a great looking piece”

“This product is great! Use a 22mm forstner bit when boring. It will be slightly loose on the lighter body once turned but I use epoxy glue to adhere the wood to the brass and it works like a charm! This is really a sturdy and heavy duty lighter. I look forward to continuing to make these!”

“I would NOT suggest using a 7/8" Forster bit as AB suggested in another review. It is not a tight enough fit. I had to wrap tape around the kit to make it snug. Haven't finished it yet. But looking forward to the final product. No rating would be fair now! Gunna just give it 3.”

“This is the perfect lighter. The quality is incredible for $11. The fit and finish is fantastic. The way it lights and flips the cap open in one simple movement makes it fun to use. It's solid brass and a few steel components. Other than the rubber gaskets there isn't a single plastic part. It's flat bottom means I can set the lighter down and use the flame to melt 550 cord ends without worrying i will knock it over. It's design keeps the lighter fluid from evaporating better than any lighter that uses lighter fluid that I have ever had. This is one of the best deals at woodcraft. I bought it on sale but I would easily pay full price.”

“I can't even keep one for myself - they sell so fast. I look for the coolest knots and cracks I can find and turn one that I swear I'm going to keep - and its sold (or gifted) immediately. I made a mesquite burl one that literally sold right off the lathe. I can't wait for them to go on sale again so I can stock up.”

“This is a really nice lighter. Go to PennstateInd and order the 2pc Universal Game Call Bushings so you can turn the wood on your pen mandrel. it works perfectly.”
