Published 2024-04-13
This is a rare dynamo torch light made during ww2 for the french soldiers.
It must have been very useful to have one in your package :!
It's made of aluminum, the mechanism wasn't working. I had to disassemble it. I spent one entire month on that project.
Please watch till the end to see this beautiful ww2 torch light in action !

What a nice looking item 😮👌

No "cool" intro, no silly background music. This video was a pleasure to watch.
-
Man! A whole lot of engineering and precision machining went into making that simple flashlight!
-
Man, things back then had a real style to them
-
My mother, a WW2 survivor, had two of these (other types of course). Were still in perfect working order when I was young. During the war, when the electricity got cut off and she had to walk home during nighttime as a little girl, she used one of these. In my language they were called "pinch cat" (Knijpkat), I don't know why though.

Thank you for keeping the atmosphere of your videos simple and uncluttered with stupid music or fancy graphics. It feels as though I'm peeking through the window of a master craftsman's shop in the 1940s and watching him work. Love your work.
-
I was not expecting the inside to be so complex for something so old, impressive!
-
A torch is possibly the last thing you'd consider to be 'Precision Engineering'; but this is just that - an artefact that is as beautiful as it is functional. You have brought it back to life, and it's simply exquisite. Fact. Thank you for sharing! Nice one. 👍👍👍

Старые вещи душевней современных !

Работа выполнена на все 💯. Здорово. У меня в детстве был также такой похожий фонарик, жучок. Охохо, вспомнил своё далёкое детство. Спасибо за видос, лайкаю мастеру.
-
I love how this channel covers these wonderful old and obscure mechanical devices. Thank-you.
-
This lamp called "lampe à magnéto" were in the collective parts kit of the MAC 31 machine-gun in the Maginot line.
-
The most insane part of this, is the build on the interior. If you look at any crank lights that are sold, not one of them is made with the amount of solid build that this thing has.
-
Had an actual dynamo that produced an electricity. I love the ergonomic squeeze function. Wish this came on modern lighters( I know this is a flashlight). Well designed.
-
В Советском Союзе подобный фонарик с динамкой назывался "Жучок"😁Видать, потому что при нажиме на рукоять характерно жужжал)
-
I love the use of a file and the powder coating. I'm a big fan of these types of restoration.
-
That’s just superb! I wasn’t sure about the powder coating on the casing but as you were reassembling it, there were unusual patterns as if it was made of Bakelite or it had an age-old patina. It looks fabulous now. Thank you for sharing this!
-
Dude… you always impress beyond what I could imagine. That finish, I haven’t seen that cold blue with clear powder coat. Jeeze it is gorgeous. Beautiful work.
-
Your buffing wheel sounds like a sci-fi dystopia.
-
It's even more surprising that the bolts and nuts on the old machine come loose without being broken.
