- how to wood turn a cocktail smoker. In this video I take the opportunity to add another offering to my craftshow line of products, a Cocktail Smoker, You can call it a Whiskey Smoker, or even a Bourbon Smoker. I have learned that these are sought after products and in a wood turning business it is something that can be made quickly and with a small amout of overhead to it you can make pretty good profit from them.
"Yep, it's nasty." I love how matter-of-factly you state this, as though any other result would have been inconceivable. I literally laughed out loud!
It was nasty. I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate your verbal directions as you did it.
Thank you Dennis!
Thank you, I have been thinking about this to add to our shop but you were the first I have seen doing it the way I had considered doing it. Everyone else seems to have a CNC.
I am glad I could help! They are a big seller for me. I have omitted the knob as being unnecessary, and I have gone to burning art onto them with my laser. The customers seem to like it!
Hi Mike. Hope these work out for you!
A couple of production tips for you.
1. Turn round between centres. No need for marking centres, just eye ball it. Always face off and work it round by cutting in from the face, this makes it easier than going bump, bump on the corners.
Turn the tenon that the strainer will fit into.
2. Chuck mount to part off the lid and hollow out.
3. Finish the lid and fineal.
Good advice! Thanks!
I want to make a batch of these to sell. So I have been watching a ton of videos on making coctail smokers. I must say your the first one ive seen add a lid to it. Great idea! Nice little upcharge factor i think. Great video
These are steady sellers for me! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video brother. Used to drink a long time ago but never heard of those. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT
Thanks Tim!!
I also am not a drinker however if I was, I would give this a try. Great turning Mike.
Well I just hope they sell well. I can tell you that smoked unsweet tea will NOT go anywhere. Thanks!
You could always use it to smoke cheese or ham in small portions!
Great project! I hope it’s a great seller,Thanks
Thanks Norm!!
What do you use to make the small shavings?
They are all a byproduct of the turning. Thanks for watching!
@@BrailsfordWoodworks Thank you.
Hi great project am wondering where you got the metal baskets from?
Amazon. you can buy them as "cocktail smoker screens" or get them far cheaper by ordering them as sink strainers. That is what they are. Get the ones that are 2.76" in diameter.
I've looked into making these, and found the stainless steel strainers at Walmart and Amazon. They are ordinary drain strainers.
if you slap the word "medical", or "military" on a product it drives up the cost. I guess we can add "cocktail" to the list.
Nasty! 😂😂😂 How did they sell at your craft shows? Curious to know how much you get for them.
So this will be my first experience selling them. What I have seen with other people who make them is that they usually sell out. I have high hopes.
@@BrailsfordWoodworks update?
@@Ptracki They sold steady. I am out of stock and need to make more for my next show. The first batch I made 5. I will make 10 for the next show.
Thanks, I just don't understand these last few generations with all these flavored cigars, hard beverages flavored to the hilt and flavored beers. And what is this green stuff they drink for breakfast. Straight old fashioned cigars, straight single malt and straight up beer. Most bourbon is already smoked flavored by the barrels. I guess this 60 year old will never understand anything but simplicity. They would rather be complex about everything.
Well Vince, for me it is all about what the customer wants. I actually don't drink at all. A buddy told me this was a thing, so I said I can do that! They actually sell quite well. Thanks for watching!
I would be concerned about using spalted wood to make something that is going to be subjected to heat to make smoke that is going to be used to flavor whiskey. Even though the wood chips are in a stainless basket the wood holding the basket very often burns as well
I have had no complaints. Thanks for watching.
