This project was very challenging and pushed my small machines, especially the mini lathe, near or even a bit beyond their limits. I tried to turn a huge M42 stainless steel nut into a beautiful lighter, but it was much harder than expected and took many days of hard work for the lathe.
Weights:
Raw Nut: 563g
Lighter 167g
Cap 24g
So I got approximately 400g of stainless steel chips from the nut and the lighter weighs less than most modern smart phones. ;)
