Zippo Lighter Engraving

Engraved a Zippo lighter today, my 5th item on the GF. Measured depth/height from inside floor to topside of crumb tray honeycomb. Removed the crumb tray, then zero’d out my calipers, and measured the thickness of my standoff including the Zippo (0.204" in my case).

Engraving Lighters (eg Zippo)

[Edited to update links to non-blocked Google ones.] And don’t forget to only engrave on unused Zippos! Lighter fluid can catch fire, and leaves a residue even if “cleaned.”
